The same bean-smiths who partnered with metal legends like Cannibal Corpse and Max & Iggor Cavalera, Concept Cafes’ now collaborate with thrash titans, Testament. Inspired by the legacy catalog of the band, Brazen coffee is now available for pre-order by the bag, with its packaging now unveiled. Keep reading below to find out more.

Concept Cafes says “For us…the creative process is probably similar to most bands (and probably takes just as long sometimes, LOL). Brazen was a real challenge for everyone, merely because Testament’s creative core is like trying to capture the nucleus of an atom splitting. If you look close enough, you’ll actually see a trilogy going on; kinda like condensing a box set into an EP if you will, and trying not to let it burst at the seams. Yeah, there was a little cinematic influence here with this one LOL. Hey, the best compliment we can all get is when fans ask ‘Is this the new album coming out…?’”
Brazen debuted on the Klash of the Titans Tour where it is being exclusively sold in a limited edition collectible art tin. Testament and Concept Cafes celebrated the release of Brazen on October 9th with the band’s first ever Brazen Coffee popup at the 8th Wonder of the World, the infamous heavy metal headquarters, Duff‘s of Brooklyn, as the band enjoyed a rare night off from their Klash of the Titans Tour. The meet and greet at the world-famous Metalhead destination Duff’s in Brooklyn, NY was packed wall-to-wall and the guys shared both Brazen coffee and their new signature Apocalyptic City West Coast IPA beer collab with Modist City Brewing in an intimate meet and greet session. Fans turned out in droves and the band really enjoyed meeting the fans and sipping some freshly brewed Brazen beans
Fans were lined up down the block when Testament and Concept Cafes joined up with Park Ave CDs in Orlando, Florida for the second Brazen Coffee pop up on October 14th with a meet and greet/signing event where fans were able to buy the collectible, limited edition Brazen coffee tin and get them autographed and enjoyed a killer Q&A panel, and bought plenty of the vinyl reissues of the remastered The Legacy and The New Order plus more Testament classics. Testament followed up by an epic show the following night at Hard Rock Live at Universal Studios Orlando.
If you missed the two epic Testament meet & greet in-stores on this tour where they guys did everything from share a few sips, Q&A panel, vinyl signings, and more Brazen tin signings than a crippled wrist could wish for; don’t worry, it’s a fan experience the guys hopefully look forward to the opportunity to bring back on future tours.

Just like Concept Cafes’ founding mission statement to always remain 100% artist supportive, as well giving the fans nothing short of the most epic immersive coffee experience possible by never sacrificing on quality, Concept Cafes is also about supporting their own. Head artist and designer for the company, Marina Tsareva has been with them since the very beginning, even before their humbling success working with legends in the metal world. What most don’t know is, Marina live in the war-torn Ukraine of which is her home; albeit it is also Concept’s mission to be able to bring Marina to the U.S. someday if the war does not end. So, every time a metalhead purchases a bag of coffee, they can confidently know that part of the proceeds are going to support an incredible talent still living and working every day in a war-ravaged country like Ukraine.
More from Concept Cafes:
Everybody remembers that first opening riff, that mid-song breakdown, that blast beat crescendo that turned them on, and tuned them into metal forever. With our artist partners like Cannibal Corpse, Max & Iggor Cavalera, and Ministry; we’re trying to recapture that moment of Metal possession for the fans by immersing them into a metal coffee obsession like no other. As lifelong fans ourselves, we’re constantly seeking out the most epic metal experiences; whether it’s records, live shows, merch, etc., so if we can maybe someday say we were a small part of that collective fan experience, then we’ve done our job. It’s also super important for us to illuminate the fact that these are the artists’ coffee stories, not our own, we’re just the chaotic-evil little elves that help them conjure their visions and forge them into reality for the fans.
We’re not here to snobbishly push conventional coffee culture upon metalheads either, nor will we ever try to flip a quick gimmick on our metal brothers & sisters to make a quick buck. We’re humbled literally everyday with this responsibility, and the opportunity to work with metal legends. This is why we are constantly pushing the boundaries and possibilities, because foremost we believe there is no other comparison to the dedicated devotion metalheads have in keeping metal music alive and stronger than ever! Metal deserves the absolute best when it comes to coffee! Reality is coffee culture has become basic cookie-cutter over the past couple of decades; so safe and just a shell of itself which once fueled artists and their music across several generations. We want to revive that creative fire, and as far as playing it safe…it’s metal, motorcycles, & horror…what did you expect?!
