Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson commented:
“When we initially booked this tour, we didn’t know how well we would hold up to the rigors of the road — so we played it safe with lots of days off to recover — but life is nothing if not surprising and we’re doing fine and having a blast, so why not try to hit a few more of the cities that have always treated us so well.”
Rose Tattoo frontman Gary “Angry” Anderson has been hospitalized after suffering cardiac arrest. This news comes after the band recently cancelled their remaining European dates.
Rose Tattoo commented:
“On behalf of Angry and his family, we would like to sincerely thank everyone for the overwhelming messages of support, love and kind words.
Your thoughts, prayers and well wishes mean more to Angry and his family than we can express.
We would like to let everyone know that Angry suffered a cardiac arrest and is currently in hospital receiving treatment and the care he needs.
At this time, we kindly ask that you please respect the privacy of Angry and his family as they focus on Angry, his treatment and his recovery. We appreciate everyone’s understanding and ask that you continue to keep Angry and his family in your thoughts and prayers during the days ahead.
We are incredibly grateful for the love and support that has already been shown. It is comforting to know just how many people are thinking of Angry and wishing him strength in his recovery.
Thank you again for your kindness, understanding and continued support.
With love and gratitude,
Angry & Family”
It appears Testament are already working on material for a follow-up to “Para Bellum.” According to Chuck Billy, the band have “close to nine tracks” so far.
Billy told Appetite For Distortion the following:
“Writing with Eric [Peterson] and Chris [Dovas] now, just really delivering a lot of tunes right now, we’re in a good place where we’re probably gonna deliver records every couple of years instead of every four years at this pace right now, which is a good thing for us.
For us, where we’re at in our life and our careers, there’s a lot of new bands, a lot of new music coming up… ‘Cause we get inspired by what new bands and people are doing. We can’t go out and be that, because we don’t wanna mimic it, but we can definitely be inspired by it, and I think we’ve done that kind of in our last record. Some of those songs have a more modern flair, just of the influence, I guess.”
He continued:
“Some of those songs, especially with Chris, [he’ll] bring it to Eric, more bands like Lorna Shore or more real death stuff. Chris really loves his death metal, and he likes playing fast. And Eric loves black metal and loves playing fast, so it’s a good combination for the two of them because Eric loves that way and Chris loves to play that way. So it’s a good marriage to what they’re doing, and it doesn’t take long for Eric and Chris to mold out a song. They’re just really in a good writing groove right now. So I think they got maybe good close to nine tracks [for the next Testament album] that they brought over to me to start listening to. So we’re way ahead of the game. Hopefully, I think next summer is our goal to get in to start recording the record. So we’ll see what happens from now until then.”
He also added the following about experimenting without straying from the band’s sound:
“In our music, I think we’re beyond trying to prove a point. When you’re a younger band, you’re playing hard and fast and give it your best shot right now. People are listening. We wrote a lot of records and a lot of songs where it’s more about writing for what really inspires us or makes us feel good, or especially when we’re trying new things that we haven’t done before, especially on these last couple of records, so especially vocally I’m trying some new stuff, finding some new voices and tones that I haven’t used, which I think’s pretty cool after 40 years to still be able to be pushed to an uncomfortable spot, but still to be pushed to something where it’s being creative for us and for me as a vocalist, trying different things, which is fun. It’s kind of exciting to, like, ‘Okay, well, what else can I do or push to?’ And then take those newer bands that are influencing [us], just real heavy shit, going, ‘Okay, well, how can I incorporate some of the stuff that is happening now?’, [that] people are loving, which I used to do in the past, that I could still do, and maybe try to cross it together with what I did and what people are doing. Maybe it’d strike a nerve a little. I don’t know.”
