Flamenco and Metal fusion. True flamenco guitar and rhythms-mixed with very progressive shred metal. In this highly adventurous disc, Flametal proves to be the new blacksmiths of technical, worldly metal.
FLAMENCO and METAL unite to form the unholy. A new sound, and a fresh take on live performance, Flametal explodes with fiercly original and technical artistry. Live performances includes a full, shredding metal band, with lyrics sung in spanish and english, professional (and sexy) flamenco dancers in original choregraphy with flamenco guitar at the helm. Flametal delivers a fusion of 50% flamenco, and 50% metal, and does not claim to be either, but both. Real flamenco, contains the 3 elements of Cante(sing), Baile(dance), and Toque(guitar), and flametal only uses the guitars, dance/palmas and tradtional rhytmical forms of flamenco. Put this into a real metal environment: loud, evil, and technical, and you get FLAMETAL---something very unique.

BENJAMIN WOODS' FLAMETAL BIO:
"Born is Seattle, I taught myself to play guitar by listening and playing along with Iron Maiden albums. Soon after, I was playing speed metal and in a short time, it stopped being a challenge. My junkie roommate stole all my electric guitar gear forcing me to play my speed metal tunes on all I had left, a classical guitar. It literally struck a chord in my head and I started to pursue flamenco in hopes that I could make my electric guitar sound more original. Little did I know I would be swept up by this incredible art and transformed into a flamenco guitar soloist and accompanist, having the utmost respect for its high level of virtuosity and profound expression. After 8 years of flamenco study and ongoing performances, I finally went to Spain where I felt strangely at home and accepted. When I returned, I remembered my original idea and finally having the musical maturity in both genres, I created Flametal. My intention is not to dilute or steal flamenco, but to open the minds of others to its beauty, while simultaniously staying true to my metal roots." |
