BAMP Project presents Testament
October 8, 2015 @ 7:00 pm
BAMP Project presents Testament performing live in Honolulu at The Republik, Thursday, October 8th, 2015. Tickets go on sale Friday, July 24th at 9:00am at the locations listed below. This is an all ages accompanied by an adult event.
Whether evoking images of a barren post-apocalyptic landscape or extolling the virtues of the nature’s ultimate might, thunderous prophecy shrouded in monolithic, overwhelming musical power has always been Testament’s domain. With Dark Roots Of Earth, (their 10th album, released on July 31st in North America through Nuclear Blast Records) the Bay Area quintet have delivered their most mature, complete and intense collection in 25 years together, nine mind-bending, pit- stirring classics that will instantly crush your skull while also serving a delicious amount of depth and nuance to devour. “It’s partially fantasy-based, partially based on the prophecies of the Mayan calendar, partially based on the whole prophecy of the ‘end-of-the-world’” says guitarist/founder-member Eric Peterson, “but nature always ends up taking charge in the aftermath, we always end up back with nature being in charge.”
Live, Testament continue to be one of metal’s greatest slabs of feral, sweaty and tribal entertainment, sets of thunderous intensity with Billy holding no quarter as he splits venue floor after venue floor in two before demanding that “you guys over here fuck up those guys over there!” and the musical congruence Testament have moved into now is resulting in some of their best live performances ever. Add to that undoubtedly their best and most mature album yet with Dark Roots of Earth, and you have a band who are approaching their peak.
A local opening act will be announced soon.
