Testament recruits Paul Bostaph (ex-Slayer)

Thrash legends Testament have recruited former drummer, and one-time Slayer member, Paul Bostaph to perform on their upcoming album. British drummer Nick Barker, originally slated to appear on the effort, will be unable to participate as a result of "homeland security and international work visa issues." The new album is tentatively scheduled for a Spring 2008 release via Nuclear Blast Records.

i was stoked about hearing nick barker on a thrash album. but paul bostaph is one of the best thrash drummers ever, so i can't say i'm actually disappointed.

"homeland security and international work visa issues." - another example of The Man keeping us down! UNITY!

bostaph rules

kenwregget 10/9/2007 11:13:01 AM

Uh, don't all bands copy and paste songs anyway? This news doesn't make sense. He could have recorded drums with Andy Sneap in UK and fused it with the songs in Cali. Very fishy........

Snakes_McFadden 10/8/2007 10:34:26 PM Megadeth > Metallica > Kreator > Testament > Anthrax > Exodus > Overkill > Color Me Badd > Slayer. LOL!!! I like megadeath but they are not even close to being better than metallica.
