San Francisco Bay Area thrash metal veterans Testament have announced the upcoming remastered reissue of their coveted 1989 album Practice What You Preach, due on May 8 via Nuclear Blast Records.
The Practice What You Preach (2026 Remaster) reissue was remastered by Justin Shturtz at Sterling Sound. It will be available digitally and on 180-gram vinyl on yellow and orange swirl with black splatter (limited to 1250 worldwide) and is packaged with brand new artwork from Bill Benson (who also designed the original cover art), a 20-page booklet showcasing old photos and documents provided by Testament singer Chuck Billy and guitarist Eric Peterson, and newly provided liner notes.

Commenting on the reissue, Billy says: “I am stoked about the remastered ‘Practice What You Preach’ release with Nuclear Blast. With new artwork and bigger sound than the original. Drop the needle and bang your head!!”
Practice What You Preach achieved near-gold status in the United States upon its release in 1989 and became Testament‘s first album to enter the Top 100 on the Billboard 200 chart.
Testament‘s latest album, Para Bellum, came out in October 2025 via Nuclear Blast. The LP was recorded with Juan Urteaga and mixed for the first time by Jens Bogren. Eliran Kantor once again painted the cover art.
