The Number Game Brotherhood Of The Snake was recorded under the watchful eyes of producer Juan Urteaga (EXODUS, HEATHEN, MACHINE HEAD), guitarist Eric Peterson and singer Chuck Billy and was mixed and mastered by well-known metal producer Andy Sneap (ACCEPT, ARCH ENEMY, CRADLE OF FILTH, KREATOR, MACHINE HEAD, MEGADETH). Artwork was created by renowned artist Eliran Kantor (HATEBREED, SOULFLY, KATAKLYSM), whom the band worked with for The Dark Roots Of Earth. Commented Peterson in an interview with Metal Maniac: "It's very diverse, but it's very epic. There's nothing on there that breeds commercial. And I think for thirty years of recording music and trying different formulas and stuff, I think we've found a formula that is very metal. I think for the metal fan that is looking for something for the nook and crannies… not just your normal, 'Oh, it's got a thrash beat and a riff.' There's a lot going on here." The songwriter also told Metal Forces in another interview: "It's different. This one is more thrash. I mean, this has got some of the fastest stuff that we have ever played. Usually, we have one or two thrash songs, and then we have some mid-tempo, and then we have a slow, heavy one, and then up-tempo kind of stuff. Half of the new record is thrash, which we've never done before." He continued: "It's kind of like Demonic and The Gathering, but a little bit wiser, I think. Chuck's not singing so death. I mean, he does some death stuff but he's singing more like he did on the last record and then with the craziness of The Gathering or even heavy stuff like Demonic." TESTAMENT will support Brotherhood Of The Snake on their European run with AMON AMARTH this fall. ​TESTAMENT live + AMON AMARTH, GRAND MAGUS 28/10/16 Oberhausen, Germany @ Turbinenhalle 29/10/16 Hamburg, Germany @ Sporthalle 30/10/16 Brussels, Belgium @ Forest National 31/10/16 Manchester, England @ Academy 01/11/16 Glasgow, Scotland @ ABC 02/11/16 Dublin, Ireland @ Vicar Street 04/11/16 London, England @ Roundhouse 05/11/16 Birmingham, England @ Academy 06/11/16 Tilburg, Netherlands @ O13 07/11/16 Paris, France @ Casino de Paris 09/11/16 Bilbao, Spain @ Santana 27 10/11/16 Porto, Portugal @ Coliseu do Porto 11/11/16 Madrid, Spain @ La Riviera 12/11/16 Barcelona, Spain @ Razzmatazz 13/11/16 Lyon, France @ Transbordeur 15/11/16 Lausanne, Switzerland @ Metropole 16/11/16 Zurich, Switzerland @ Komplex 457 17/11/16 Offenbach, Germany @ Stadthalle 18/11/16 Ludwigsburg, Germany @ MHP Arena 19/11/16 Munich, Germany @ Zenith 21/11/16 Milan, Italy @ Alcatraz 22/11/16 Vienna, Austria @ Gasometer 23/11/16 Leipzig, Germany @ Haus Auensee 25/11/16 Prague, Czech Republic @ Forum Karlin 26/11/16 Geiselwind, Germany @ Eventhall 27/11/16 Berlin, Germany @ Columbiahalle --- 29/11/16 Athens, Greece @ Gagarin 205 30/11/16 Thessaloniki, Greece @ Principle Club Theatre 02/11/16 Fort Lauderdale, USA @ 70.000 Tons Of Metal
