Guitarist
Alex Skolnick has earned an enduring career due to his self-described ‘restless creativity’ and his versatility. Joining Bay Area Thrash vets,
Testament at only 17, Skolnick successfully mixed melody amidst Thrash’s intensity to create a signature sonic assault beginning with 1987’s
The Legacy.
Titans of Creation marks the group’s 13th studio record and reveals a revitalized energy while retaining Testament’s hallmarks. Recent Thrash biopics and books dedicated to the genre have contributed to its resurgence and coupled with many of its founding artists still recording and touring, Thrash continues growing its legacy for a new generation.
“It can be hard to get a perspective when you’re one of the creators directly involved. I was just in my teens when it all began so to have all these anniversaries of the group, genre, and my peers feels strange and surreal but it’s a good reminder to see the impacts it has made on others. It’s very special to me and I’m forever grateful,” said Skolnick.
