you can now check out a new interview with Jaimunji and TESTAMENT vocalist Chuck Billy and they talked about the band’ new albuma nd follow-up to 2020’s “Titans Of Creation” album. … asked if it will be a throwback to some early TESTAMENT or move forward Chuck stated (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I think we’ve always evolved. We never like to go backwards. These songs, definitely the old classic stuff, ‘The Legacy’ and ‘The New Order’, that’s where we came from, those are the first songs we wrote, so definitely that’s who we are, but we always wanna evolve. We don’t wanna do something we’ve done. But I will say the new record, we’re very excited for it ’cause Chris Dovas, the new drummer, it’s probably the most a drummer has worked with Eric [Peterson, TESTAMENT guitarist] writing material, and it shows.’

Billy also confirmed that the new TESTAMENT album will have a song which is a duet with Floor Jansen of NIGHTWISH. “Yeah, I reached out to her,” … . “Me and Floor became friends maybe under 10 years ago. Me and her, Joey Belladonna [ANTHRAX], Udo Dirkschneider [ex-ACCEPT], we all did this Christmas performance show through Europe. And we were singing our songs, but with a Christmas theme with an orchestra. And so we all traveled together and became friends. And she’s a powerhouse of a vocalist. Great voice. And when we wrote the song and the lyrics, first thing I thought was, ‘Okay, this song, it, it needs a strong girl’s voice,’ and, of course, Floor is the first one that came to mind. And this song, it’s gonna be pretty epic. We’re gonna put a string section on it, acoustic guitars”
