Testament’s Brotherhood of The Snake is out today via Nuclear Blast. In an exclusive video at Ghost Cult, watch Chuck Billy discuss his musical heroes:
In a recent interview with Mat Davies for Ghost Cult, Chuck described the album as akin to Slayer’s Reign In Blood in terms of aggression:
“…with Brotherhood of the Snake we wanted to go for a far more thrashier record, a harder and much more aggressive record than Dark Roots of Earth. From a personal perspective, I wanted to focus this time on doing a lot more singing, but ultimately it was about doing something more aggressive and heavy and I think we have accomplished all of those things.”
Produced by Juan Urteaga (Exodus, Heathen, Machine Head), guitarist Eric Peterson and singer Chuck Billy, Brotherhood Of The Snake, was mixed and mastered by legendary metal producer Andy Sneap (Accept, Arch Enemy, Cradle Of Filth, Kreator, Machine Head, Megadeth). The cover artwork was created by artist Eliran Kantor (Hatebreed, Soulfly, Kataklysm) who also worked on 2012’s Dark Roots Of The Earth.
