Veteran San Francisco Bay Area metallers
TESTAMENT have pulled out of the second annual
Seattle Shredfest due to "scheduling conflicts."
"While [this is] disappointing to their Northwest fans, we wish them the best and hope to be able to reconnect with them at
Seattle Shredfest '09," said the
Seattle Shredfest organizers. "
Seattle Shredfest '08 will be moving onward, and will announce the new headliner of the show within the next few days."
This year's
Seattle Shredfest will take place Saturday, May 17 at Studio Seven in Seattle, Washington.
Pre-sale ticket refunds will be automatically supplied to those who purchased their tickets directly through
SeattleShredfest.com. Refunds for tickets purchased anywhere else will be available at their point of purchase.
TESTAMENT's new album,
"The Formation of Damnation", is scheduled for release in North America on April 29 via
Nuclear Blast Records. The cover artwork was created by
Eliran Kantor and can be seen at
