In support of Nuclear Blast Records’ reissues of its 1989 album “Practice What You Preach,” Testament will launch a special spring 2025 “evening with” tour featuring the band performing and telling stories from the classic thrash metal album.
The set list will include deep cuts and classic ballads, some of which will be heard live for the first time ever.
The tour is routed across America during Testament’s stops at the Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival and Welcome to Rockville.
“We are getting ready to practice what WE preach across the U.S. this May,” frontman Chuck Billy said. “We will be performing the album ‘Practice What You Preach,’ we will tell stories and play a few acoustic tunes and finish out with a best of deep cuts. This will be an evening with Testament you don’t want to miss. Horns up!”
Guitarist Eric Peterson said: “This will be a night to remember! Like all of our shows, we have a great time, but an evening with Testament will mean just that! Story telling, deep cuts never before heard, plus ‘Practice What You Preach’ was a milestone for us, and now will be performed in its entirety. We’ll have some cool tales to tell about the making the record and where we were at during that time in our career. ‘Practice What You Preach’ was our third full-length major label release and our most commercially successful album and, at that time—our biggest selling album ever—when records were actually being sold. We’re looking forward to bring some of our classics in an acoustic set to go along with songs you’ve probably wanted to hear forever that we never did, but will do in the ‘Evening with Testament’!”
Testament is offering meet-and-greet packages with unique merch items and autograph sessions available for fans to meet with the band one on one. For more information, go to www.testamentlegions.com.
