Testament has joined forces with KnuckleBonz for an official collaboration that will bring the Bay Area thrash legends into the upcoming KnuckleBonz360 BackStage Experience. The immersive 3D platform is scheduled to launch in the summer of 2026, giving fans a new way to interact with the band and other members of the metal community.
“Testament is very excited to be a part of a new experience for fans to connect directly with the band,” says Chuck Billy, frontman of Testament. “KnuckleBonz360 is gonna blow some minds with what is available in this digital world.”
KnuckleBonz360 is being built as a digital destination centered around legendary bands and artists, recreating their visual identity through interactive 3D environments. More than 20 dedicated band worlds are expected to be available when the platform launches in 2026. Users will be able to meet other fans, take part in mini-games, browse exclusive collectibles, and experience classic album artwork brought into an explorable digital space.
According to KnuckleBonz CEO and creative director Tony Simerman, Testament was a natural fit for the project.
“Testament has been one of the defining forces in thrash metal for over four decades and building the Testament world inside KnuckleBonz360 means every fan around the globe now has a place to gather and live inside original thrash,” says Tony Simerman, adding: “Chuck and the band understand exactly what this platform can be for fans, and that energy is going to come through in every corner of the experience.”
The Testament experience is being created by a development team made up of artists, engineers, and dedicated music fans. The goal is to give followers of the band a place where they can celebrate its legacy while exploring key elements of its history and identity. Visitors will be able to move through environments inspired by the band’s rise from the early Bay Area thrash scene, alongside its recognizable skull artwork, crushing guitar riffs, and Chuck Billy‘s signature vocal style that has defined Testament for more than 40 years.
In addition to the virtual world itself, the experience will include digital collectibles, physical collectibles, and exclusive merchandise available for worldwide shipping. The multiplayer environment also gives fans the chance to explore the world together when the platform launches in the summer of 2026.
Founded in 2003, KnuckleBonz has spent more than two decades producing premium music collectibles and content for dedicated fans. With the introduction of KnuckleBonz360, the company is expanding into immersive digital experiences while continuing its focus on music memorabilia, art, and collector culture.
