Testamentin nokkamies toivoo yhtyeen siirtyvän studioon tammikuussa
Yhdysvaltalaisen thrash metal -veteraani Testamentin laulaja Chuck Billy on paljastanut tuoreessa Full Metal Jackielle antamassaan haastattelussa, että yhtye toivoo pääsevänsä studioon tammikuussa nauhoittamaan tulevaa albumiaan, joka julkaistaan huhtikuussa 2019. Chuck kertoi yhtyeen aikovan keskittyä albumin kirjoittamiseen Slayerin kanssa yhdessä soitetun kiertueen jälkeen:
”The plan is to get a lot of riffs and stuff going out here on [the second leg of TESTAMENT’s] tour [with SLAYER], ’cause we do have a lot of time on our hands,” he said (hear audio below). ”So by the time we finish this, we’ll go home and me and Eric [Peterson, guitar] will really get together and really try to chop out a bunch of music, ’cause the goal is to get in the studio hopefully by January and have a record out hopefully by April. That’s the goal.”
We talk about that, ’cause in our early years, when we first came out, we did five records in a row, year after year,” he said. ”And I think about it — back [then], we wrote a record and toured, [went] right back in the studio, wrote a record, toured; there was no time off. But you had a lot of momentum going. So, you’ve gotta think of that — you don’t want to lose the momentum when you’ve got something going. So, it’s a tough balance. But if you’re prepared, we go for it.”
