​
ERIC PETERSON of TESTAMENT​

When it comes to talking about riff masters of metal, particularly in thrash, there's no way you can have a conversation about that without mentioning Eric Peterson of Testament.  The man has been the driving force of the band since day 1, and has written some of the best riffs in thrash.  Not only that, but he's one of the most underrated rhythm guitarists and songwriters in metal as a whole.

He was playing in several local bands in his early years as a musician, and in 2004, bass master Paolo Gregoletto joined a band that would become not only one of the leaders of the New Wave Of American Metal, but one of the biggest modern metal bands in the world right now, and that band is Trivium.

Paolo first joined the band to record their seminal album Ascendancy (which just celebrated its 15th anniversary) in 2004, and has been with the band ever since.  Trivium is about to release their ninth studio album What The Dead Men Say, which will be out on April 24th on Roadrunner Records.

Interview by Alex Stojanovic

Mark Tremonti: one of the most talented guitar players in rock and metal.  Being known for his time in Creed, as well as his current bands: Alter Bridge, and his solo project Tremonti, he has deserved every accolade he has achieved, including the Riff Lord award at the 2014 Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards.

Alter Bridge will be releasing their sixth studio album called Walk The Sky through Napalm Records on October 18th, and the band have just begun their North American co-headline tour with Skillet.  Mark was kind enough to take a few minutes to chat with us on the phone from the road.  We talked about the new Alter Bridge record, what the future plans for Tremonti are, we touched on some Creed related stuff, and about his friendship with comedy legend Larry The Cable Guy.  The entire interview can be read down below.
