Testament is an American thrash metal band from Berkeley, California, who formed in 1983. They are often credited as one of the most popular bands of the 1980s thrash metal scene. In the years since its inception, Testament has had numerous lineup changes, and guitarist Eric Peterson has been the only constant member, although the band currently also features two of its original members, Alex Skolnick (guitarist) and Greg Christian (bass). Chuck Billy replaced former singer Steve Souza in 1986, prior to the recording of their first studio album, ''The Legacy'', and has been a member of the band since. To date, Testament has released ten studio albums, four live albums, six compilation albums, and six singles. After signing a recording contract with Atlantic Records in 1986, they released their debut album ''The Legacy'' in 1987 to critical acclaim. Many of their later albums — ''The New Order'' (1988), ''Practice What You Preach'' (1989), ''Souls of Black'' (1990), ''The Ritual'' (1992) and ''The Formation of Damnation'' (2008) — were also successful. Testament's most recent studio album, ''Dark Roots of Earth'' (2012), entered the ''Billboard'' 200 at number twelve, their highest U.S. chart position so far. During the soundscan era, from 1991 to 2004, Testament sold over 1.1 million albums in the U.S.
