During an interview with Full Metal Jackie, Testament’s Chuck Billy discussed his plans for a new solo album. The frontman also revealed that he has approached Hatebreed vocalist Jamey Jasta about producing the effort.
Billy said the following:
“Actually, at the Milwaukee Metal Fest [in May], I spoke with Jamey Jasta. I’ve sang on Jamey’s solo records and did some stuff [with] him, and it was some really good stuff. And so I spoke to him about possibly him producing a record for me and working on some songs. And we spoke shortly just about — he’ll get some guys together, we’ll put some music together, and then we’ll do something.
But I wanna do something that isn’t Testament, for sure. I’ve done enough [Testament] records and songs. I wanna do something more really simple, old school-sounding, like the old records we used to listen to in the ’70s and ’80s. Just clean and raw rock and roll, maybe a little bluesy — just something where I don’t have to really push the voice, just something that’s real comfortable and natural, I think.
There’s a different side of me that I don’t push into Testament because I don’t wanna change it. But as a solo record, I think I will have that opportunity to do that.”
