Alex Skolnick Trio
"Last Day In Paradise"
|
The Alex Skolnick Trio return with seven originals and three covers including the Testament classic "Practice What You Preach" (in Spanish, "Practica Lo Que Predicas", due to its Latin arrangement). The three arrangements of rock/metal standards are now a concept upon which the trio has built a formidable reputation, and "Last Day In Paradise" represents their most unique and cutting edge recording to date. For this album, the group has gone beyond the traditional trio format, incorporating voice (whistles), slide guitar, loops, and other sonic embelishments, enhancing the strong, melodic compositions. Also included are a Latin arrangement of the Testament anthem "Practice What You Preach" and an electonica inspired version of the Rush classic "Tom Sawyer" - both incorporating modern jazz harmony.
