Dark Roots of Thrash
Dark Roots of Thrash is a live set from American thrash metal band Testament, released in October 2013 on Nuclear Blast as a double album paired with a DVD. It was recorded at the Paramount Theatre in Huntington, New York, on 15 February 2013. It arrived a year after the studio album Dark Roots of Earth, so it catches the band on stage in the wake of that record.
