Testament have revealed their plans to continue touring with drummer Chris Dovas behind the kit. With scheduling conflicts having put their reunion with Dave Lombardo on ice, the Bay Area thrashers went on to enlist the services of Seven Spires‘ Dovas.
Testament guitarist/vocalist Eric Peterson confirmed yesterday, April 16th, that Dovas will continue to hold that role going forward for now. A post shared via his Instagram can be found below:
“What can I say? Things sometimes just happen for a reason, I mean just when everything seems to go ok BAM! Nope! but then something opens up…@chrisdovas happened, Chris replaced Dave on our last North American run cause of over booked scheduled from Dave, but it was a blessing in disguise 😈Chris has turned out to be totally unbelievably amazing and a very kind and aawesome brilliant drummer, we are more than thrilled for our fans to experience his more than meets the eye capabilities with our South American and European tours coming up, also in this last minute situation we’ve connected on a killer spree, working on new ideas this last week has become more than promising, I am stoked to say it’s gonna be KILLER peeps! Anyway rest assure Chris will push the envelope so to speak and make TESTAMENT heavier and more precise than before! 🤘🏼 more t o come!!!!!
