TESTAMENT - featuring vocalist Chuck Billy, guitarists Eric Peterson and Alex Skolnick, bassist Greg Christian and drummer Nick Barker (DIMMU BORGIR, CRADLE OF FILTH) - continue work on their upcoming CD.

Band guitarist Eric Peterson exclaims, “Hey Metal world! Working hard with Nick on some new ideas and some cool old school styles and it's coming together really killer! Six songs already in the can so far! Just waiting for the Chief to come up with some lyrics to match, we get into the studio to track the drums in June...looking forward to busting out some new ones for this summer at the festivals and get a reaction!"

Chuck Billy states "It’s been a long time coming, this new album is like a good wine, you throw in the grapes and CRUSH."
