Kejadian buruk terjadi di konser Kukar Rockin' Fest (Minggu 9 Maret 2014) mungkin tidak akan dilupakan setelah band Indonesia Power Metal di potong pertengahan lagu oleh frontman Testament Chuck Billy dan insiden pencabutan kabel sound oleh crew Testament.

Masalah bermula ketika Testament akan tampil di panggung on time sesuai rundown mereka, namun dalam waktu bersamaan harus memotong penampilan band lokal Power Metal berada di atas panggung. Karena hambatan bahasa mereka berusaha untuk menjelaskan situasi mereka, tapi terjadi miskomunikasi. Akhirnya penampilan mereka di Kukar Rockin' Fest Sedikit berantakan.

Merasa bersalah, Testament telah mengeluarkan permintaan maaf dan penjelasan tentang apa yang terjadi di Tenggarong. Berikut adalah pernyataan resmi dari Testament:

To our Kukar Rockin’ Fest audience: We deeply apologize for any hurt that was caused. While we would have appreciated the support act being more accommodating, we nonetheless apologize to them as well and meant no disrespect. In hindsight, it might have been a better decision to just let them continue and cut much of our own set. But in the heat of the moment, a judgment call was made that backfired. We regret this turn of events, which does not represent what Testament is all about, nor what we’d travelled all that way for Testament deeply appreciates the fans of Indonesia and hopes they find it within their hearts to understand what has happened and forgive. We truly hope to return to this region one day amidst deeper understanding and better circumstances.

- Testament
