Testament guitarist Alex Skolnick said of the tour:
“It’s a thrill to announce our upcoming dates with Overkill and Flotsam And Jetsam. It’s a tour that brings together three different metal bands from three different regions: West Coast, East Coast and Southwest. All three bands sound very different from one another yet are highly compatible. All have been around the block (and the world) a few times and all have managed to keep a sound that feels current. This tour will be a ‘must see’ for fans who remember the early days of thrash/speed metal as well as those whose age is younger than the genre itself.”
