TESTAMENT frontman Chuck Billy has penned a memoir that is as much about the life of a rock star as it is about facing his mortality.
In Holding My Breath: The Two Testaments Of Chuck Billy, due out on November 10 via Permuted Press, Billy chronicles his life story in vivid detail.
From his early days as a thrash metal frontman to his battle with cancer and spiritual journey, Billy's memoir is a testament to the power of music and the human spirit.
With the help of co-author Dave Erickson, Billy recounts his life in two parts: The Old Testament covers his early years growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area and becoming one of thrash metal's most iconic voices.
The New Testament takes readers on a harrowing journey through Billy's cancer diagnosis and treatment, as well as his spiritual explorations and encounters with healers.
The book features a foreword by Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford and an afterword by Lamb of God vocalist Randy Blythe, both of whom offer their perspectives on Billy's enduring legacy.
Throughout the memoir, Billy writes candidly about his experiences as a Native American and Mexican-American frontman in the thrash metal scene.
Holding My Breath is not just a rock star's story, but also a powerful exploration of identity, mortality, and the unbreakable bonds that define us.
With its release on November 10, fans can pre-order the book at chuckbillybook.com or visit the website for more information.
