Album Art + Release Date For Testament’s Dark Roots Of The Earth!

Thrash titans Testament have just announced a July 27 release date for their upcoming album, The Dark Roots of Earth. It should be noted that the announced release date is for Europe, and the North American release will likely be a few days later. The album art has also been posted online, which you can check out above.. The band's 10th studio album was produced by Andy Sneap, who mixed and engineered the band's last two albums. "I think over the years Andy really knows the sound of this band, and kinda knows what we want," singer Chuck Billy recently told Decibel. "We've mixed stuff with Andy, so I think he knows without us having to be there physically with him what we are looking for. And I just haven't heard anybody in metal come out with any better mixes!" The Dark Roots of Earth marks the long-awaited follow-up to 2008's The Formation of Damnation.
