TESTAMENT guitar legends Alex Skolnick and Eric Peterson talk to Michigan's FOX17 about the roots of thrash and their current Dark Roots Of Thrash tour in the video below:

Testament filmed/recorded a 90-minute live DVD/CD on Friday, February 15th at the Paramount Theatre in Huntington, New York. This special DVD/CD release is expected later this year via Nuclear Blast Records. Fan-filmed footage from the show has surfaced on YouTube and can be viewed below:

According to Sertlist.fm Testament performed the following set:

'Rise Up'

'More Than Meets the Eye'

'Burnt Offerings'

'Native Blood'

'True American Hate'

'Dark Roots of Earth'

'Into the Pit'

'Practice What You Preach'

'Riding the Snake'

'Eyes of Wrath'

'Trial By Fire'

'The Haunting'

'The New Order'

'D.N.R. (Do Not Resuscitate)'

'3 Days in Darkness'

Encore 1:

'The Formation of Damnation'

Encore 2:

'Over the Wall'

'Disciples Of the Watch'

“We haven’t shot a live DVD or CD since our Live In London release and we’ve had two killer albums since then,” commented Testament vocalist Chuck Billy prior to the show. “We thought it would be cool to put out a live DVD/CD focusing on the last three records (The Gathering, The Formation Of Damnation and Dark Roots Of Earth) mixed in with a good amount of classics too. Last time we recorded anything live in America was for Live at the Fillmore on the West Coast. This time we thought we’d give the East Coast a chance to show the world how crazy and loud they can be. We’re going to be playing an extra-long 17 - 18 song set, which will be our lengthiest set of the tour. Let’s see all you thrashers stirring it up out there and singing along! See ya!”
