Testament Review by Michael Macsuga

Testament

@ The Ritz Raleigh, NC
April 27, 2022

If you like your music loud and angry, this was a show for you.

Trash metal band Testament is on their The Bay Strikes Back Tour with Death Angel and Exodus and performed at the Ritz Raleigh this week.

Like I said, loud and angry. The Ritz “suggested” not moshing or body surfing to cover their liability insurance. But of course, the night did entail a lot of good natured body slamming and surfing that night.

The light show was decent for the Ritz but no pyrotechnic for the night.
