Testament to Release Remastered Versions of The Legacy and The New Order
Two of the most iconic albums from Bay Area thrash titans Testament will be getting the remaster treatment later this summer, as both The Legacy and The New Order get some much deserved attention.
Set for release on July 12, both remastered albums will be available digitally and on vinyl via Nuclear Blast Records. Speaking of the opportunity these remasters pose, frontman Chuck Billy reminisced on how spartan recording those albums really was.
“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.”
Both albums were remastered by Justin Shturtz at Sterling Sound. When it comes to the vinyl pressings, each will have their own limited edition colorways, with The Legacy getting a red on white swirl with black splatter version and The New Order getting a blue and purple swirl with black splatter variant. Each variant will only get 1,500 copies worldwide and will feature alternate cover artwork and packaging with new liner notes.
If this sort of thing excites you, you can preorder your copy of The Legacy and The New Order today.
