Testament Announce Tour with Overkill, Floatsam and Jetsam, 4Arm

AWESOME TOUR ALERT: Testament have announced a North American headlining trek for early next year, with support from two other classic thrash acts, Overkill and Floatsam and Jetsam, as well as 4Arm, a band with whom I’m not really familiar, but Corey Mitchell says they’re the shit so I’ll excuse their silly name and assume they’re good. Actually, I’m listening to them now, and they ARE really good (“I… hate… your… face!”)… but it almost doesn’t matter. Testament and Overkill would be enough to get any sane metal fan through the door, and Floatsam and Jetsam and any quality bands beyond that are pretty much just icing on the cake. I feel like it’s been a while since I’ve gotten to see Testament play a full headlining set, so I’m stoked for this.
