"TESTAMENT 'writing rehearsals' got underway the weekend of April 14, 2007. YES, they are *really* working on the next record! Alex [Skolnick, guitar] was back east due to shows with the ALEX SKOLNICK TRIO.

TESTAMENT singer Chuck Billy, bassist Greg Christian, and guitarists Alex Skolnick and Eric Peterson, alongside new drummer Nick Barker (ex-DIMMU BORGIR, CRADLE OF FILTH),have finished writing more than half a dozen new songs for the group's long-awaited follow-up to 1999's "The Gathering". Tracking is scheduled to begin in June. "Working hard with Nick on some new ideas and some cool old-school styles [that are] coming together really killer," Peterson previously said in a statement. "It's been a long time coming," Billy added. "This new album is like a good wine: You throw in the grapes and crush."
