TESTAMENT‘s February 15 concert at the Paramount Theatre in Huntington, New York as part of “The Dark Roots Of Thrash” tour will be professionally filmed for a 90-minute DVD, to be released via Nuclear Blast.
In a recent interview with RockMusicStar.com, TESTAMENT vocalist Chuck Billy stated about the band’s current tour: “We have a new show, with new songs that we are going to perform. We had previously played three legs of a tour with ANTHRAX, so we are trying to put in some new songs for this one, do a new show. We also plan on filming a DVD on this tour. We did a couple live DVDs/CDs, and we want to do some songs that are not on those, and to create something new … Our set will be about an hour and a half, with five songs off of the new record, ‘Dark Roots Of Earth’.”
