Prior to Kreator, Testament, and Possessed’s October 23 concert in Albuquerque, NM, the latter two groups were presented with keys to the city. The bands were honored by Albuquerque’s metalhead mayor Tim Keller.
Testament said the following:
“A few nights ago before a packed concert at Albuquerque Convention Center, the boys received keys to city, courtesy of the Keller Bros, Metal @mayorkeller and Metal Minister Scott Keller.
These genuine metal keys are modeled after those which once unlocked the city’s jail cells. Towards the end of the set, Testament’s 1987 prison breakout anthem ‘Over The Wall’, was played in dedication, to which Tim Keller responded with a Mayoral crowdsurf.
Thanks to the Keller Bros and the City of Albuquerque for this great honor and to the ABQ fans for always making the band feel so at home in ‘The Duke City!’”
Possessed’s Jeff Becerra also commented:
“I’m honored to receive the key to the city of Albuquerque. I support Tim Keller. I support the Democrats in New Mexico #possessed”.
Kreator added:
“Albuquerque was one the highlights of this run! @mayorkeller instead of giving us the key to the city, he gave us to key to escape the city jail, wich is metal as f##k!
Lots of love to Albuquerque hordes.
WE WILL RETURN!”
