FOR THE LOVE OF METAL

On Saturday, March 13th I went down to Buffalo NY to see Megadeth, Testament and Exodus play at the Town Ballroom. Here are my pics of Testament, who were cool enough to let me shoot their set. By the way, all three bands were fantastic on this night. It was very cool to see Testament play The Legacy and Megadeth play Rust In Peace in their entireties.
“We’ve heard some people ask why did you pick Kory Clarke, because he’s not a doom metal singer or he doesn’t sound anything like Eric, but we weren’t particularly looking for someone to sound just like Eric, and we weren’t necessarily looking for someone who was just a doom metal singer either. And we were thinking that maybe we could branch out and do something – a few little twists of things that maybe we’ve never done before with it, with a kind of vocalist like this.”
Laura Wiebe Taylor speaks with Trouble guitarist Bruce Franklin about the current status of the band, their three new North American releases, progress for their next studio album and what the future holds for the legendary Chicago doom metal outfit.
