During a recent interview with Lana Morgan of Milwaukee’s 102.9 The Hog, Testament’s Chuck Billy talked a bit about the band’s new album. According to him, the effort has “a bunch of different moods.”
Billy said the following:
“I don’t know about surprises, but I think we definitely keep TESTAMENT fans on their toes as far as it’s always something new, always a different twist, always a different feel, but still being TESTAMENT. So I think again Eric [Peterson, guitar] really captured some new riffs. The mix is pretty straightforward TESTAMENT, like it’s been, but I think the songwriting is definitely a little bit… It has a little of everything; it’s got a bunch of different moods on the record. Again, I think fans will be, like, ‘Yeah, right on.’ It’s definitely a different TESTAMENT record.”
He also revealed that the record won’t include a ballad, despite previously saying that it would:
“We have some moody stuff, but I wouldn’t say we would gear up to try to write a ballad. I just think — I don’t know if that’s really who TESTAMENT is.
When we had Atlantic Records backing us, they were always the ones that wanted the singles and the videos, and everything always seemed to lean towards the ballads. So, that’s kind of where that went back in those days. But we’re long past that now.”
