San Francisco Bay Area metal veterans TESTAMENT have released "Shadow People", the second single from the band's upcoming album, "Para Bellum", which is due on October 10 via Nuclear Blast.

"Shadow People" is a haunting and groovy track that will have you looking over your shoulder. It creates a vivid sense of unease and dread — both lyrically and musically — as if something from the unknown is coming for you.

The official animated video for the song, created by Freakshot Films.

Not the greatest video, but I get it, budgets are meek and it's better than just the album cover in the background... song is pretty bitchin! Cool main riff and Chuck Billy is firing on all cylinders.

I like this one way better than the first single

That’s fucking great.

Same thoughts. Much improvement.

Amazing!!

Very well done! I agree it's better than the first single, but they're both pretty awesome slabs of thrash!

Kickass song. And I rather like the video, too. The whole Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark art style has always been nice & creepy and it fits well here.
