Join host Jose Mangin and original Testament members Chuck Billy, Alex Skolnick, Eric Peterson and Greg Christian for a gathering to discuss the band's past, present and future.

They'll discuss everything from their current metallic tastes, to fashion, to their forthcoming new album set to come out next year, to the medicine men who helped Chuck kick cancer. It's a true "testament" to the band that helped to shape metal today and continues to take the music to new levels.

Coming up on future episodes of Hard Files: HELLYEAH, MADBALL & FULL BLOWN CHAOS and DIVINE HERESY."

TESTAMENT Cancel Two Dates In Italy

San Francisco Bay Area metal legends TESTAMENT have issued the following update:

"Due to events beyond their control, Testament are canceling two upcoming shows in Italy only, August 31st and September 1st.

The band wishes to express their grief in canceling these two shows. There has been a difficult situation recently involving band drummer Nick Barker having Visa issues and due to scheduling conflicts the band are going into the studio at the end of August, earlier than anticipated, to begin recording their forthcoming Nuclear Blast release.

Testament wishes to thank the fans for their continued support as well as Debbie and the Italian promoters of these shows for being so generous with their understanding of the situation - Testament will be back in Italy soon and make it up to everyone!"
