123. TESTAMENT’S ALEX SKOLNICK SHREDS EXPECTATIONS & REVEALS THE FULL STORY BEHIND HIS ENTIRE CAREER (PART 2)

The lead guitar player of Testament isn’t your typical metalhead. He’s had a long, varied, and surprisingly moving career in music.

In this episode, Alex talks with Discograffiti about:

  • Whether he prefers the classic early Testament records or the later stuff;
  • His search for more adventurous musical landscapes, and the resistance it initially caused within the band;
  • And his most ambitious project ever—the amazing Planetary Coalition!
