After the success of the ongoing 'The Bay Strikes Back Tour' in North America, featuring Testament, Exodus and Death Angel, a second U.S. leg of this tour was recently announced and it will take place through September and October of this year. The tour's announcement follows up on frontman Chuck Billy's recent comments that recently-returning drummer Dave Lombardo (who played on their 1999 album The Gathering) was going to be involved in the making of their next studio album, which is intended for a 2023 release.

Testament frontman Chuck Billy commented: "We've all been having a killer time playing a lot of sold-out shows for die hard metal fans across the U.S. and we wanna keep the party rolling!"

Guitarist Eric Peterson added: "We're so excited to do a second leg of 'Bay Strikes Back' tour into Canada. It's been a long time coming and now things are starting to gel with Dave. We will be adding some newer songs and some older ones too into the set METAL!"

Exodus' Gary Holt said: "This tour has been so raging, so crushing, what do we do to follow it up? We do it again! Exodus will be joining Testament and Death Angel for another round of 'The Bay Strikes Back Tour' in the U.S.! Hitting some major markets and also Canada! More brutality on tap for all, come join the violence!"

Death Angel vocalist Mark Osegueda commented: "I can't begin to tell all of you how excited Death Angel is that this AMAZING tour has been extended with a second leg of North American dates! Night after night all three bands see how amazing the crowd reactions have been and we as band members are also so appreciative that we're back doing what we love doing most of all! Playing music and exchanging energy with the most passionate fans of all! Thrash metal fans! 'The Bay Strikes Back Tour' is extending its endless reach! See you on the road!!"
