TESTAMENT: New Video Interview With ALEX SKOLNICK - Aug. 19, 2012
Matt Hill from Metal Gods TV conducted an interview with guitarist Alex Skolnick of San Francisco Bay Area metallers TESTAMENT at this year's edition of the Bloodstock Open Air festival, which was held August 9-12 at Catton Park, Derbyshire in the United Kingdom. You can now watch the chat below.

TESTAMENT's new album, "Dark Roots Of Earth", sold more than 20,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No, 12 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD arrived in stores on July 31 via Nuclear Blast Records.

TESTAMENT's previous studio album, "The Formation of Damnation", opened with 11,400 units back in May 2008 to debut at position No. 59.

"Dark Roots Of Earth" was produced, mixed and mastered by acclaimed British producer Andy Sneap (ARCH ENEMY, NEVERMORE, ACCEPT, EXODUS). Special bonus tracks were recorded, mixed and mastered by Juan Urteaga (MACHINE HEAD, EXODUS, TED NUGENT, NIGHT RANGER) at his Trident Studios. The cover artwork for the effort (see below) was painted by Eliran Kantor, who has previously worked with ATHEIST, SIGH, ANACRUSIS and GWAR, among others.

"My name is Alex."

That's just indicated how the rest of the interview would go. Alex has no sleep, looks tired and thin, but was still cool. I would have fucked with this guy's head.

He mentioned his name is Alex because the interviewer did not even acknowledge Alex by his name, very rude and Alex handled it very professionally.

I love how the guy asks "so as far as sales, your most successful album?"

Then Alex says "well it charted better than anything we have done, but as far as album sales go, its less than we have sold in the past"

Its a shame that a band that wouldnt even reach the billboard charts made more money back in the day than they do now being in the top 15. The state of the music industry with everyone stealing everything sucks for the artist big time.

I dont regret quitting, putting down my guitar and going to college for computer science at all. My best friend growing up and playing in a band with is in a huge band right now and he lives and rents a rinky dink shit apartment and has to go to the coin laundry mat to wash his clothes. I own a house and have kids, I dont have to piss in an empty beer bottle in the back of a van going from show to show. I feel for these guys.
