Bay Area thrash legends TESTAMENT have released Shadow People, the latest single from their upcoming fourteenth studio album, Para Bellum, set for release on October 10th via Nuclear Blast Records.
Following in the band’s tradition of pairing unrelenting thrash aggression with incisive themes, Para Bellum explores the uneasy relationship between humanity and its own creations in an era of accelerating technology and growing disconnection. Described as both a battle cry and a stark reflection of modern chaos, the album sees TESTAMENT pushing forward with music that is urgent, sharp, and uncompromisingly human.
Shadow People embodies that vision with a haunting groove and unnerving atmosphere, evoking the feeling of being pursued by forces lurking just beyond perception. The animated video, created by Freakshot Films, amplifies the song’s chilling themes with striking visuals that bring the lurking dread to life.
