Original Lineup Of Testament Will Play Thrash Against Cancer
The original lineup of Testament will headline the Thrash Against Cancer benefit, which will be held at The Pound's amphitheatre on Saturday, July 9. This will be their first show in San Francisco since 1993 with the classic lineup that recorded "The Legacy." Brocas Helm, Dreams Of Damnation (featuring former Dark Angel guitarist Jim Durkin), Agent Steel, and Dekapitator (featuring Andy Maniac and Matt Hellfiend of Exhumed) have recently been added to the bill. HIRAX, Laaz Rockit, Vicious Rumors, and Mudface (Death Angel guitarist Ted Aguilar's side project), original Anthrax vocalist Neil Turbin and his band Deathriders, Imagika, will also lend their support to this historic event. Steve "Zetro" Souza, ex-vocalist for Bay area thrash bands Legacy and Exodus, will emcee the benefit. "To see these bands coming out of the woodwork lending their support to this benefit - some with their original lineups and some who haven't played together in years - makes me proud to be a part of the Bay area scene," said Testament vocalist Chuck Billy. "This benefit for Keith Regan's family has been a long time coming and I'm pleased not only that the show is finally coming to life, but that it's turned into a major event with volunteers, bands, and businesses alike doing what they can to help out. You don't have to be a metal fan to come out to The Pound and give your support to help families who have been affected by this terrible disease." Proceeds from Thrash Against Cancer will aid in the financial recovery of families dealing with life-altering medical diagnoses. Among the families that will benefit from the concert are Keith and Brandy Regan, whose son, Cole Regan, was born with cancer (leukemia/AML) and survived until just three months short of his second birthday. The show will also help other families who have who have children with pediatric cancer and are in severe need of help. Tickets for Thrash Against Cancer benefit are $40 in advance and are available through Ticketfusion.com and at The Pound SF's box office (415-826-5009), as well as www.poundsf.com. Ticket price includes a barbecued item, a beer or soda, and a raffle ticket. Halo Guitars has donated a guitar for the raffle, and some of the bands will be donating their personal gear to be raffled off as well.
