The Bay Strikes Back

2020–23 concert tour by Testament, Exodus, and Death Angel

The Bay Strikes Back was a concert tour featuring Bay Area thrash metal bands Testament, Exodus and Death Angel. The first leg of the tour took place in Europe from February 6, 2020, to March 11, 2020. Death Angel was promoting their ninth album Humanicide, while the tour predated the release of Testament's thirteenth studio album Titans of Creation by around two months.[1][2][3] Other than two shows in Northern California in October and November 2021, the European leg of The Bay Strikes Back tour was the last tour that drummer Gene Hoglan did with Testament before he left the band in January 2022.[4]
