Metal masters TESTAMENT are pleased to announce their first trip to The Phillipines to appear at the “Pulp Summer Slam 10†taking place on April 17th, 2010 at the Amoranto Stadium in Quezon City. TESTAMENT will be co-headlining the festival with Lamb of God. The Pulp Summer Slam Festival has become the largest metal festival in the Philippines today. One of the hallmarks of the Pulp Summer Slam 10 is the unbelievable ticket price of only $6.50 US which equates to 300 Philippine Pesos. Included with price of admission are sodas, beer, pizza, and free cell load.
TESTAMENT front man Chuck Billy commented on the bands upcoming trip to the Philippines, “We have played countless venues all over the world, but this is the first time ever that TESTAMENT will be playing in the Philippines. It is an honor for us to be bringing metal to a country that does not normally have many metal shows and we are stoked to be co-headlining alongside our friends in Lamb of God. People of the Philippines get ready to get Into the Pit with TESTAMENT.â€
