dimebag_90Testament guitarist Alex Skolnick has contributed to a track on Mexican duo Rodrigo y Gabriela’s new album that is dedicated to Dimebag Darrell. Hear it inside!

Speaking of their collaboration on the track ‘Atman’ and the legacy of Dimebag Darrell, Rod y Gab themselves say: “Alex Skolnick, thrash metal guitar hero of Testament, came to our studio in Mexico to lay down his incredible solo on ‘Atman’. Atman is a Sanskrit word meaning the only deathless part of the human being. This song is for Dimebag Darrell – metal guitar god and former member of Pantera. Dimebag was shot dead on stage while performing with his last band, Damageplan, at a venue in Columbus, Ohio in 2004. He influenced and inspired a whole new generation of guitarists around the world – his legacy is as endless as his memory is within us. Please visit www.dimebageternal.com.”

Hear ‘Atman’ below. ‘Atman comes from the album ‘11:11’ which will be released on Rubyworks on Monday, September 7.

Sweet! Rodrigo y Gabriela are fantastic! Thrash metal fans jamming on classical guitars and made it big busking in Dublin…

Stunning… Although the fact that Skolnick is playing distorted electric on a mostly classical guitar track does sound a bit strange…

Amazing musicians. Love that they’re doing this for Dime! \m/

Rodrigo & Gabriela’s last CD blew me away… this i love and can’t wait to hear more.
