Video: TESTAMENT Guitarist ALEX SKOLNICK's PLANETARY COALITION Performs At NAMM

February 12, 2015

Video footage of TESTAMENT guitarist Alex Skolnick's acoustic-focused project PLANETARY COALITION performing on January 24 at the Marriott hotel in Anaheim, California during this year's NAMM show can be seen below (video provided by the Ultimate Guitar team of Erick Bravo, Ivan Heredia, Jamie Gonzales and Carlos Antunez).

PLANETARY COALITION released a 14-track debut album last November.

An ethnically flavored collective of diverse musicians from all over the world, PLANETARY COALITION is driven by Skolnick, whose work spans jazz (ALEX SKOLNICK TRIO),metal (TESTAMENT),and world music (RODRIGO Y GABRIELA, ISHTAR).

Skolnick's book, "Geek To Guitar Hero", is available on paperback via Amazon.

Alex is a true guitar hero. At sixteen years old, he joined a group of twenty-somethings who'd formed a thrash metal band called TESTAMENT. Alex stayed with the band through several critically acclaimed albums and countless tours with, among others, SLAYER, MEGADETH, JUDAS PRIEST and WHITE ZOMBIE. After hearing and seeing one of Miles Davis' electric bands on TV, Alex relocated to New York City to play and study jazz.

TESTAMENT is currently demoing material for the follow-up to the band's 2012 album "Dark Roots Of Earth".
