Thrash legends Anthrax and Testament have announced that they will co-headline a North American tour beginning on October 14 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It will be the first time the bands have toured together in over a decade. See below for a complete list of tour dates.

Death Angel will be the main support for the length of the tour where they, along with Anthrax, will be debuting new music in preparation for summer/fall releases. Testament plans to release their new album in 2012.

In regards to the tour, Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante says:

“We’ve been tight with the guys in Testament for a long, long time, so we’re really looking forward to hanging out with them on the road. And all of us in Anthrax are big Death Angel fans, so this is going to be a monster of a good time – for all of us and for the fans. Plus, with the incredible success of The Big Four shows over the last year, we wanted to tour with some of the ‘second wave’ of thrash bands.”
