CHUCK BILLY Hopes To Get New TESTAMENT Album Recorded Before End Of 2023

In a new interview with Uruguay's El Lado Oscuro TV, TESTAMENT frontman Chuck Billy confirmed that he and his bandmates have commenced writing material for the follow-up to 2020's "Titans Of Creation" album.

"We're working on a new record now," he said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET). "So it's time to put that one behind us and make another one."

Asked if the next TESTAMENT LP will arrive in 2024, Chuck said: "I think so. We didn't really book a lot of shows this year. We're doing Latin America and then we're doing Europe, and that's it, and then Japan, a couple of shows. But we're leaving a lot of the schedule open so we can get a lot of the music done. And hopefully by the end of the year we'll get into the studio and start recording, so we'll have a release hopefully early next year."

Regarding his relationship with TESTAMENT guitarist Eric Peterson, who — like Chuck — has been involved with all of the band's albums so far, Billy said: "Well, I mean, at this point he's like my little brother. We argue and fight like brothers. [Laughs] But I think I'm very fortunate and lucky to have Eric as a writing partner for so many years because Eric really is the heart of TESTAMENT as far as song creation goes, because Eric doesn't listen to a lot of other bands, like modern stuff; he listens to his black or some older-style stuff. So when he writes music, he really writes just what he wants, and I think that's what always gave TESTAMENT our own sound, because Eric's never strayed away from what he does. And he's always took it a step further and created better songs. And it makes it easier for me, and I think after working for so many years, we have a good relationship as far as songwriters; he'll write something and know what I can do and I'll have a suggestion knowing what he can do and what works. So I think, at this point, our songwriting is a lot easier and better now."

He added: "The 'Brotherhood Of The Snake' [2016] was a difficult record. That took two years. So it all depends how Eric's feeling or if he's got ideas, which that record took, like two years. 'Titans Of Creation' worked a lot faster; he had much more ideas. So it's really on how much inspired Eric is to create the new stuff, 'cause we all have to wait for that. So if Eric's excited and inspired, then it comes quick."

Earlier in the month, drummer Dave Lombardo revealed in an interview with BLABBERMOUTH.NET that he would sit out the remainder of TESTAMENT's 2023 shows, with no guarantee that he will return to the band.

Lombardo, who was the guest drummer on TESTAMENT's 1999 studio album "The Gathering", formally joined the long-running San Francisco Bay Area act last year. The former SLAYER drummer is currently a member of the MISFITS, MR. BUNGLE, EMPIRE STATE BASTARD and SATANIC PLANET, among others. He also played with SUICIDAL TENDENCIES from 2016 up until 2020.

TESTAMENT is currently touring South America with drummer Chris Dovas (SEVEN SPIRES),who previously filled in for Lombardo on the first six dates of TESTAMENT's summer/fall 2022 leg of "The Bay Strikes Back Tour". Lombardo was unable to make those gigs due to a scheduling conflict with the MISFITS.

TESTAMENT's "Klash Of The Titans" tour of Latin America with KREATOR kicked off on April 19 in Lima, Peru and will run through May 9 in San Salvador, El Salvador.

вот и отличненько

Отлично! Одна из немногих тхрэш-групп, которая держит марку и у которой поздние альбомы, порой, слушать более интересно, чем их же классические альбомы.

Сказать что сильно жду, нет. К сожалению для меня, после чумовейшего "The gathering", написанного в непростое для треша время, ничем больше Тесты так и не удивили. Современные албумы какие то однообразные, скучные, среднетемповые, хотя уверен армию поклонников они собрали.

smolet18-02-44, не могу согласиться и не могу не спросить, чего ж это они среднетемповые? скоростных номеров хоть отбавляй

graillyc, Только про среднетемповость не согласен. Так-то мне они тоже скучны. Бывает, выйдет новая песня - вроде неплохо. Потом слушаешь альбом и в целом немного вымученно, послевкусие не то.. Но атмосферы 90х все равно не вернуть практически никому.
Мотивчики любого старья типа Chasing Fear , So many Lies , John Doe , Riding the Snake самопроизвольно напеваются в голове, а из посто 2000х даже вспоминать ничего не тянет, хотя слушал все по нескольку раз.

Простой пример, Pale King - "I was awakened by the howling of the dog. Or perhaps a wolf. " ну чо за.., уже первые строки режут ухо, не по тестаментовски как-то. Потом, песня вроде не плохая, но после середины там где "10000 years of searching" стабильно происходит желание скипнуть, нудно, капец. Щас для интереса поставил ее еще раз и на середине мозг будто забыл, что щас вообще какая-то песня играет.

nabastak_, ну я в общем про среднетемповость и спрашивал только, потому как все остальное — уже вопрос вкусов.
лично мне последние три альбома запомнились от и до, достаточно вспомнить название трека, а дальше его можно проиграть в голове без особых проблем)
последний альбом, может быть, чуть меньше зашел чем другие после гезеринга, но и на нем есть отличнейшие вещи, прям золотом вписать в коллекцию хитов. но — см.выше, все субъективно.
а Pale King, к слову, я не сразу расслушал, сначала было на уровне "ну ок", а через годик где-то зашло по полной. особенно вторая половина, соло и финалочка

PS так-то мне и самому больше по душе 94-99
