JAKARTA - World thrash metal legend Testament will hold a concert in Indonesia on October 1. They are also preparing a new album

Testament will shake up Ancol Beach City International Function Hall, Jakarta at the Hammersonic After Party event initiated by Ravel Entertainment.

Melaui media sosial, pada Jumat kemarin, pihak permodara mengumumkan jadwal kedatangan Chuck Billy et al.

"The wait is over! The Bay Area Thrash Metal Band @testamentofficial will be headlined Hammersonic After Party with @deadsquad.official, @oraclethrasher, and @sTRangers_ina on October 1st, 2023 at Beach City International Function Hall Ancol, Jakarta. Get yourself ready for the heaviest after-party this year!" wrote Ravel Entertainment.

If according to schedule, this is Testament's second visit to Indonesia after the first to take place at the Kukar Rockin' Festival nine years ago. Meanwhile, Testament guitarist and leader Eric Peterson and drummer Chris Dovas spent the last few days working on material for the band's new album they are fighting against.

On the same day as the dumb plan for Testament's arrival to Indonesia, Peterson shared several Instagram photos from the songwriting session for the follow-up to the album Titan's Of Creation (2020).

"Hopefully everyone has a fun Friday! I have had a very productive week with this kid! Mr. @chrisdovas and I'm working on an idea of just 7 hours from thrash to nwobhm mixed with black thrash to hard rock blues... let's see what's going on! So excited so far!," said Peterson in a statement accompanying the photo.

Dovas shared the same picture on his social media and added: "The new material Tetament is working on! Eric and I are working hard all week for new ideas. So far excited!"

It would seem exciting if Testament's new album was released before they visit Jakarta. The reason is, loyal fans of one of the dedengkot thrash metal will be treated to new songs as a complement to old songs that are familiar.
