ALEX SKOLNICK, GARY HOLT, KIM THAYIL, CHUCK BILLY And More – BRIAN POSEHN Reveals Guests For Upcoming Metal Album; Video

In a new interview with Metal Injection, comedian Brian Posehn revealed work is almost complete on his metal album debut, which he is creating with Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian, Metalocalypse creator Brendon Small and producer Jay Ruston.

Posehn spoke to Metal Injection while promoting his new Christmas dark comedy, Uncle Nick. They asked for an update on his full-length album and here is what Posehn told correspondant Robert Pasbani:

“It’s taking forever but Anthrax is just finishing up their next record, it’s coming out in February. We’re using the same producer, [Jay Ruston]. We’ve been doing it for a while. It’s all written and most of the tracks are done. It’s just tweaking now. Scott and I wrote it with the help of Brendon Small from Metalocalypse, he wrote some songs too. It’s really close to being done and once we have it done, we’ll figure out when it’s coming out and all that.

“We’re putting it out through Megaforce [Records], which, as a metal fan is crazy. I’m doing something for that label 30 years after loving that label.

“I’ve been talking with Jay [Ruston] and after I finish promoting this movie, he and I are going to finish up what we can. We’re trying to get Phil Anselmo to do a guest part. We have a bunch of guests already. Alex Skolnick [Testament guitarist] did a solo. Gary Holt [Exodus and Slayer guitarist] did a solo. Kim Thayil from Soundgarden is doing a thing. So a bunch of badass guys are doing parts. And, I’m also using other vocalists, as I’ve done before. I had Mark Osegueda of Death Angel do “More Metal Than You” with me, because I can’t scream. So, we have guys like Chuck Billy [Testament vocalist] coming in. I wrote a thing for Phil [Anselmo] to do and Phil said he’d do it, it’s just nailing him down and getting him in LA. And that’ll be it. Once we get those final touches down, we can put the record to bed.
