In this electrifying episode of The Mixtape, we’re joined by Eric Peterson, legendary guitarist and founding member of Testament, one of thrash metal’s most influential bands.
Eric opens up about Testament’s latest Australian tour, what fuels his passion after decades in the game, and how stripping things back with acoustic versions of heavy classics is unlocking new creative territory. From massive riffs to mellow moments, it’s a rare glimpse into the evolution of a true metal icon.
As always, we dive into Eric’s musical roots as he curates an exclusive imaginary mixtape, revealing the artists and songs that shaped his journey — from early inspirations to current obsessions.
🎸 Whether you’re a die-hard Testament fan or a music lover curious about what drives a metal legend, this episode delivers insight, inspiration, and killer stories from the road.
