NEMHF Exclusive Interview: Testament

The Final NEMHF Interview is with Alex from Testament! Hear Steve ask him about headlining NEMHF, touring, line up changes, changes in the music industry, and more!

Below these excerpts is a full audio version.

Q: And with this new line up, are there plans for a new album in the future?

A: "Yes, absolutely. There's a good amount of material written, more needs to be written. Truth be told, we thought we would have it done and released at this point. That's kind of what this touring cycle was planned around, but these things sometimes take longer than usual. That's the case now, but we decided to tour anyway. The tour is very special because we're doing this old material, yet it doesn't feel like old material. Especially because of this rhythm section is such a dynamo, and the sound is better..."
