Testament has undeniably maintained relevance in the world of music by keeping their sound purely brutal, yet progressive. 20 years ago, when The Metal Kings began their journey into stardom, fans kept tabs on them via magazine interviews, through fan clubs, and in monthly newsletters printed by record stores. Times have changed. Now, fans expect instant gratification, and Testament has stepped it up to follow suit. The band now has active, thriving communities on several global social media sites including: MySpace, bebo, and Facebook, with hundreds of thousands of fans and millions of hits on their music. Informative blasts keep fans in the loop and house special contests like the Brand New Fan Setlist Vote for the upcoming headlining tour. The poll is being conducted on the band’s official MySpace page and can be found here.
