Testament singer Chuck Billy publishes Holding My Breath: The Two Testaments of Chuck Billy today through Permuted Press, and has two California appearances around it.
The first is tonight in Seal Beach, at the Affliction HQ store on Apollo Court, from seven until nine. Jose Mangin hosts the release party and Brian Posehn runs a question and answer session. The second is on 14 November in Dublin, at The Back Lounge on Village Parkway, two until six, with Phil and Marta Demmel hosting and Posehn appearing again.
A livestream on TalkShopLive runs at half past eight Eastern on the evening before the Seal Beach date.
The book is built in two halves, which is where the title comes from: the Bay Area thrash years on one side and the cancer diagnosis at thirty eight on the other, including the Thrash Of The Titans benefit that pulled the scene together around him. Dave Erickson co wrote it. Rob Halford supplies the foreword and Randy Blythe the afterword.
Billy has fronted Testament through fourteen studio albums.
