AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE, April 20, 2004

[Testament Legions]

Like a previous announcement, we would have preferred to break the news to the fans, first. You are getting the official statement right here!

Testament and Steve Smyth have amicably parted ways and both sides remain good friends. Testament would like to wish Steve all the best in his future endeavors, and Steve would like to thank Testament for a memorable five years he will always cherish.

The band has been continuing work on pre-production for the next album, as well as making preparations for the upcoming tour in June. We will have another official announcement soon, so keep checking back.

I guess Nevermore will make an announcement if it's true, right? I don't believe anything until I hear it straight from the band.

Yeah you are correct...one must never trust it until one hears it straight from the horses mouth...
Wonder who the Testament boys will get as a replacement? thanks for the info, TL!

 

[Valofvalhalla]

Thanks for giving us the official word TL! Like I said earlier, good luck to the guys. I'm sure the replacement will be unreplaceable.

Well that sucks. Thanks for the official announcement so soon though. I hope they can get a great replacement soon enough to not slow down the next album.

Since the rumor is true, I agree with some of you, Glen would be a good choice to tour? , plus I'm sure he'd be available?
