In this episode of the Metal Command Show, I talk with legendary guitarist Alex Skolnick of Testament and Metal Allegiance for an in-depth conversation covering legacy, collaboration, and the upcoming Metal Allegiance show in January 2026.

Alex shares insight into his work with Metal Allegiance, discussing how the supergroup came together, the creative freedom behind the project, and what makes collaborating with some of metal’s most respected musicians such a unique experience. We also dive into the current state of Testament, reflecting on the band’s longevity, musical growth, and continued relevance in the thrash metal world plus other musical endeavors outside of the metal scene Alex has participated in.

Throughout the interview, Alex speaks candidly about Metal Allegiance, Testament and his musical journey outside of the metal scene.
