About Me
- Alex S
- I joined the San Francisco Bay Area metal band Testament when I was sixteen. In 1992, at age twenty three, I left the band in a quest for new experiences, personal growth and artistic fulfillment. A few years later, I moved to the great art and culture center New York City, where I earned a university degree and began a new career focused on jazz. My metal life was far behind me. Or was it? Fast forward to the present: Testament is back. A reunion tour has led to a new album, rave reviews, awards and spots on this years top metal tours and festivals. Things are going better than ever, but of course, there are going to be challenges. Can the band and crew put all the past issues behind us? Will we rise to new levels of success and how will we handle it? And how will the worldly, educated person I've become coexist with the return of my inner metal dude? This blog will be the source of my observations, stories, spontaneous thoughts and whatever else spills forth as I live through this really interesting time of my life.
