(PR) Riding high on a wave of critical acclaim for their new record, The Formation of Damnation, thrash titans Testament are MTV's 52/52 Artist Of The Week. For the uninitiated, 52/52 is a way for MTV to shower love on its favorite bands, giving one artist each week over 11 hours of on-air promo time filled with live performances, interviews, skits, and more. For Testament's appearance, MTV filmed the band's BB King's gig in NYC in April, as well as a special performance on Alcatraz in the band's hometown of San Francisco. There will also be tons more extra footage available at the below addresses.
