Testament will release their new album, Brotherhood Of The Snake, on October 28th via Nuclear Blast. In a new interview with WeedmapsTV/Marijuana.com, Chuck Billy and Eric Peterson discuss the marijuana industry and preview the new track “Canna-Business”.
In regards to how the song “Canna-Business” come about, and what inspired him to make a song about the growing legal marijuana industry, Chuck Billy says: “I probably wrote it about eight months ago, and it was just a play on words. I got my medical card about a year ago and also sell a line of vaporizer pens called “the Chief,” including a dry herb vaporizer and an oil vaporizer. So, I’ve been involved in the scene. After I got my medical card, my friends were telling me to get this new program for my phone – everything’s got a program, of course – called Weedmaps. So I go on Weedmaps and next thing you know, I’m having weed delivered to my house. It’s crazy, where it’s come from to what a business it is now. Whoever thought cannabis would become a legitimate business? The Canna-Business! I thought to myself, “I should write something about that” after my first few deliveries.”

The album is now available for pre-order in various physical formats (Digibook, Limited Box Set, Limited Mailorder Box Set, Vinyl) from Nuclear Blast here, as well as digitally here.
Berlin-based artist Eliran Kantor, who created the images that adorn Testament’s previous two albums – Dark Roots Of Earth (2012), and The Formation Of Damnation (2008) – talks about the cover art he created for Brotherhood Of The Snake, which can be seen below.
“Eric (Peterson, guitarist) told me of the title, referring to a secret society group – and I wanted to focus on the occult aspect of it without leaning on the already available myths.I pictured a ritual involving blindfolded figures coming out of chalices of black oil, holding scythes forming the teeth of a three-headed snake.
Looking for ways to incorporate the masonic pyramid felt like a great opportunity to use the classic logo while adding something new to it, and also give it an active part in the plot. There are many tiny details adding to the atmosphere: red tongue bookmarks in the books, two more ancient-looking figures in the shadows hinting at the brotherhood’s lineage, two serpent-shaped fountain tubes pouring the black oil etc etc. The latter two were suggested by the band.”
