testament-brotherhood-of-the-snake

Chuck Billy of Testament recently joined The Pure Rock Shop Radio Show to discuss their latest album “Brotherhood of the Snake” which was recently released on Nuclear Blast Records.

During our exclusive interview, Chuck talks about the difficulties that went into making their new album, “Brotherhood of the Snake”, and how the tension in the creative process reflects in a much more aggressive Testament album than we heard on the past several releases.

Chuck talks about touring (starting in Europe with Amon Amarth) and being on the road for the next 18 months.  Chuck also shares his experiences with trying to convince his bandmates to play on the 70,000 Tons of Metal Cruise.

For more conversations with Testament, check out our classic interview with guitarist Alex Skolnick where Alex discusses his desire to be “just a good-all-around musician.”
