from Brave Words...TESTAMENT's Steve DiGiorgio recently, and exclusively, updated
BW&BK in regards to the band's highly anticipated new album.
"We're not touring for the next little part of the year so we can concentrate on new stuff," explains the bass player. "Eric (Peterson, guitars) gave Chuck (Billy, vocals) a tape with songs on it, so Chuck's writing the lyrics right now. It's in the early stages, but the writing has been off and on for a while. It's in the style of The Gathering, but it's also a progression. It's time for a new Testament album, so we're shooting for an early 2004 release so we can get on some summer tours."
In other news, DRAGONLORD, the Eric Peterson-based side project DiGiorgio once played bass for, will also be releasing new material.
"There will be new material, but I'm not in the band anymore. I haven't been in the band since (2001's) Rapture came out. The new Testament takes precedence right now, so Dragonlord will come out after the Testament album."
