After parting ways with Gene Hoglan in January, Testament are now proud to announce the replacement - non other than the legendary David Vincent "Dave" Lombardo. As some of you might know, in late 90's Dave was part of the band for a short period of time and contributed his share on The Gathering record. More can be read below.

Chuck Billy declares: "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."

Dave Lombardo stated: "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."

Eric Peterson expresses: "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 expresses.
