Former MR. BIG Frontman Offers To Sing On New TESTAMENT Album

May 9, 2007

Former MR. BIG singer Eric Martin, who was recently in Brazil for one concert in São Paulo, mentioned in his official blog that was amazing to meet members of TESTAMENT as well as the Brazilian singer Edu Falaschi (ALMAH, ANGRA) during his stay in the city. Martin wrote, "[I met] members of DR. SIN (the band that played with MR. BIG in São Paulo in 1994),the great Edu Falaschi, lead vocalist from ANGRA, Chuck Billy and his band TESTAMENT who just happened to be in Brazil the same night I was. It was great to see those guys." Added Martin, "Alright, Chuck, I'll sing on your new record if you and Alex [Skolnick] write me a music track ala classic '70s rock."

Eric recently wrote and recorded the theme song for the hit pay-per-view television show "Pride FC", which is a major ultimate fighting program. The track "The Last Man Standing" debuted New Year's Eve 2006 on pay-per-view to millions of viewers. Eric also wrote and recorded a song for guitar legend Ronnie Montrose's new CD, "10x10". Eric sings on the album, along with nine other singers, including Sammy Hagar, Edgar Winter, Davey Pattison and Mark Farner. The "10x10" album sparked interest in Eric's vocal performance and he was asked to sing the classic song "Guitar Man" with Ronnie Montrose, Danny Carmasi and Ricky Phillips to take to the Sundance film festival.

Eric Martin is married to his sometime drummer Denise, and is the father of twin sons.
