The name Mayhem does not need any kind of introduction when it comes to black metal and extreme music.

Testament Live in Budapest – August 2019 AB
I first saw Testament live 16 years ago at Sziget Fesztival, but I cannot recall too much of their performance considering the fact that their show took place right after Slayer destroyed the main stage, when they performed the famous Reign in Blood in full. 16 more years had to pass for me to be...
