Chuck Billy has been at the centre of the thrash metal cyclone for an incredible 40 years, beckoning untold thousands into the pit as the singer for Testament. He was there when heavy metal blew up the Bay Area in the 80s, crawled out of the crater left by grunge in the 90s with his head held high, and was playing air guitar like a maniac during thrash metal’s glorious rebirth in the 00s.
Along the way he has recovered from cancer, flown the flag for his Native American roots and even lent his distinctive voice to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in animated show What If…?. Anything else? Oh, yes, he’s writing a book. Kind of makes you feel bad for not getting off your arse to unload the dishwasher, doesn’t it?
