MANILA WILL BE THRASH METAL MECCA AS THE BAY STRIKES BACK TOUR BRINGS TESTAMENT, DEATH ANGEL AND EXODUS TO THE PHILIPPINES!

Though there are a legion of successful heavy metal acts that have reached various heights of fame and notoriety, there are only a few that have earned the title as being “genre-defining…” And as far as thrash metal is concerned, there are names in the game who have long cemented their status as being the originators by laying out the blueprint for the timeless sound and the fury that reigns strong to this day.

TESTAMENT. EXODUS. DEATH ANGEL. Three legendary names any true-blooded metal fan would know and love. Emerging from the widely revered 80s underground thrash metal scene in the San Francisco Bay Area, all three bands unknowingly helped create a sound that was a hybrid of the New Wave of Heavy Metal British Heavy Metal and fast, street-style punk that laid the foundation to some of the most important sub-genres and artists that would follow.

It is this same foundation and formula that influenced and helped catapult The Big Four of thrash – Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer – into the global superstars they are now: all through a grassroots/D.I.Y. sensibilities like worldwide tape-trading (way before there was the internet…), incendiary live shows that many considered to be almost-religious experiences, and a worldwide sense of community, even with the absence of radio airplay and airtime on MTV.
