(03.08) Testament
may record a few new songs before going back out on tour post-pandemic.
Says vocalist Chuck Billy: "Eric [Peterson, guitar] is writing some
music [on his own]. I haven't heard anything yet. It all starts with
Eric, so I just kind of wait. He's gotta be in the right mood. And
probably, being stuck at home with the pandemic, I would think he would
be jamming and writing some stuff. So I think we'll probably at least
have a couple of new songs. 'Cause it makes sense — if we write a
couple of new songs, maybe we can do a repackage of the [latest
Testament album, 'Titans Of Creation']. We're talking about possibly
writing a song called 'Titans Of Creation', 'cause there is no title
track. So, we could have a song called 'Titans Of Creation' and maybe
re-push it out there with the record again. [That would be] more of a
marketing thing. I think that's kind of what the talk is [that] might
happen."
