From their debut, 1987’s The Legacy, to their latest release, 2008’s pummeling The Formation of Damnation, the band never compromised their vision or their musicianship.
Chuck Billy’s signature style was often imitated yet never duplicated; his growling vocals and gravel tone have influenced many of today’s rising metal stars. Although many extreme-metal vocalists attempt to perfect the “cookie monster” vocal-style, the vast majority of metal singers revere the authenticity and originality of Chuck Billy. His brutal bark is instantly recognizable, as is his harmonious howling, and Chuck transitions flawlessly between both. Even after surviving a very rare form of cancer, Chuck Billy bounced back, and is sounding better than ever with a newfound intensity.
Now, with their classic lineup once again intact, Chuck Billy and Testament look forward to spreading their aural aggression across the globe. The Bay Area thrash-metal stalwarts are back… So prepare yourself for the assault!
