On October 10th, Testament return for the release of their new album, Para Bellum, adorned once again by the wondrous artistry of Germany's Eliran Kantor and its accompanying (and ripping) lead single, Infanticide A.I.. Narrating a self-destruction of humanity through great disconnect and an overt reliance on technological advances, Para Bellum drives home an important message through big, rip-roaring moments. The band is as invigorating as always, exuding musical excellence and an infectious energy unique to a select few legends still performing in 2025.

Stream Infanticide A.I. below and pre-order the record via Nuclear Blast.
