Nuclear Blast Acquires TESTAMENT Catalog and Signs Three-Album Deal

Nuclear Blast, the prominent heavy metal label, has recently made a groundbreaking announcement by acquiring the complete catalog of the legendary band TESTAMENT. As part of this significant development, TESTAMENT has also signed an exclusive three-album deal with Nuclear Blast. The official signing ceremony took place ahead of the band’s fiery performance at Hellfest over the weekend.

Fans of TESTAMENT can now rejoice as they will soon have access to the band’s iconic albums, including the revered classics “The Legacy” and “The New Order,” on their preferred digital streaming platforms. This collaboration marks a pivotal moment in the longstanding partnership between TESTAMENT and Nuclear Blast as the band reclaims their six albums from Atlantic Records and entrusts them to Nuclear Blast for re-release.

Chuck Billy, the acclaimed vocalist of TESTAMENT, expressed his gratitude, saying, “Since joining forces with Nuclear Blast in 2008 for ‘The Formation of Damnation,’ we have enjoyed an incredible musical journey together. Now, we are taking it to the next level by retrieving our Atlantic catalog and placing it in the capable hands of Nuclear Blast. Additionally, we are thrilled to embark on a new three-album adventure with them. It’s an honor to be associated with the best heavy metal label in the world, one that will undoubtedly carry forth TESTAMENT’s powerful legacy.”

Eric Peterson, the mastermind behind TESTAMENT’s ferocious riffs, shared in the excitement, stating, “Our partnership with Nuclear Blast has been a perfect fit since we first signed with them in 2008. The return of our earlier catalog, which includes ‘The Legacy,’ ‘The New Order,’ ‘Practice What You Preach,’ ‘Souls of Black,’ ‘The Ritual,’ and ‘Low,’ brings a fresh new start for us. We are excited to witness Nuclear Blast’s re-release of these albums, complete with new artwork, photos, and additional surprises. Furthermore, the signing of a new three-album deal further solidifies our commitment to the label. The future of metal is looking incredibly bright, and we raise our glasses to that!”

Tommy Jones, Nuclear Blast U.S. Label Manager, shared his personal connection to TESTAMENT, reminiscing, “As a youngster, one of my most cherished guitars was a dark red Ibanez Saber (540S) with a wizard neck. I bought that guitar to channel the sounds of Alex Skolnick, who played the same model and color back in the day. Now, many years later, signing the original, genre-defining TESTAMENT albums that had such a profound impact on me, such as ‘The New Order,’ ‘Practice What You Preach,’ and ‘Souls of Black,’ to Nuclear Blast feels like coming full circle. It’s one of those ‘pinch-me’ moments where the 15-year-old me would be in awe. Together with Nuclear Blast, let us continue to honor and amplify ‘The Legacy’!”
