Yhdysvaltalainen thrash metal -suuruus Testament ilmoitti hiljattain rumpali Gene Hoglanin jättävän yhtyeen toistamiseen. Nyt bändi on ilmoittanut, että yhtyeessä vuosien 1998-1999 välisen ajan soittanut Dave Lombardo tekee paluun yhtyeen riveihin. Lombardo on kommentoinut omaa paluutaan takaisin yhtyeeseen seuraavasti:
“This is a long-awaited reunion that was bound to happen. Once upon a time, we created a thrash masterpiece. I have no doubt that our musical chemistry will pick up exactly where we left off. I love the Testament family and am very excited to be joining them once again. Pure brutality awaits.”
Testamentin laulaja Chuck Billy on kertonut Lombardon paluusta yhtyeeseen seuraavaa:
“I’ll state the obvious, We are more than overwhelmed to welcome back Dave Lombardo to play drums with Testament. We are so excited to share the stage again with Lombardo. Dave added immense power when he joined the band for The Gathering (release), and we are ecstatic to see what new flavor he will bring back to Testament.”
Testamentin kitaristi / laulaja Eric Peterson jatkaa:
“Having Dave Lombardo join us again feels like we are picking up where unfinished business had left off. There is a silver lining to every cloud and working again with Dave calls for us to celebrate with our horns held high!”
