Testament guitarist, Alex Skolnick, has released the new video below, along with the following message:

"'King Of Pain' from Synchronicity, released on this day, June 17, 1983. The Police were one of my 1st concerts (9th grade). One of several songs I’ve  been revisiting from my early teen & preteen years, now that I have the musical knowledge to figure them out (back then, this was way over my head). I’ve always loved this melody and especially the harmonically ambiguous chords (sus, add9 etc).

"A few weeks back, I stumbled into this on piano and thought I’d see if it worked on guitar, then threw it together. Mad respect to those who specialize in chord melody. I can think of quite a few who are far superior at this type of thing but thought “what the heck..”. I have another Police tune in mind that just may end up as an arrangement." 🤔

Testament recently announced an explosive celebration of the band's enduring legacy and their influential presence in the thrash metal scene. On July 12, Testament will release the remastered versions of their seminal albums The Legacy & The New Order both digitally and on vinyl via Nuclear Blast Records.

Chuck Billy states, "When The Legacy and The New Order were first recorded we were new and had limited resources to record the albums being a young band. Now, with the remastering, fans will hear the albums in their signature sonic onslaught they were intended to be heard."

Today, the band offers fans previews of the remastered versions completed by Justin Shturtz  at Sterling Sound via singles from each of the albums. "Over The Wall" from The Legacy (Remastered 2024) and "Into The Pit" from The New Order (Remastered 2024) are now available to be streamed on all platforms as well as video visualizers.

The Legacy was remastered by Justin Shturtz at Sterling Sound. It will be available digitally and on 180G vinyl on red and white swirl with black splatter (limited to 1500 worldwide). The release includes alternate cover artwork and gatefold packaging with new liner notes as well it includes an oversized booklet with never-before-seen images.
