March 7, 2007

TESTAMENT's current lineup — drummer Nick Barker (DIMMU BORGIR, CRADLE OF FILTH) alongside original members Alex Skolnick (guitar),Greg Christian (bass),Eric Peterson (guitar) and Chuck Billy (vocals) — is currently working on new material for an upcoming CD release.

Guitarist Eric Peterson exclaims, "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 [singer Chuck Billy] 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'."
