Para Bellum marks Testament’s return with one of their most aggressive, sharp‑edged albums of the modern era. The band leans fully into their signature blend of technical thrash, crushing groove, and melodic precision — with Chuck Billy delivering some of his fiercest vocals in years and Eric Peterson firing off riffs that feel both classic and revitalised.
 
The 2026 orange‑vinyl edition from Nuclear Blast gives this new chapter a bold, collector‑friendly presentation. Testament continue to prove why they remain one of the most consistent and respected bands in thrash metal, decades into their career.
 
Featuring standout tracks like:
For the Love of Pain
Infantcide A.I.
Meant to Be
 
This is modern Testament firing on all cylinders — tight, heavy, and absolutely relentless.
