Felix Martin "Caracas" CD
★With Japanese commentary
Progressive Latin Jazz Metal has arrived! The latest work by the super-fast Venezuelan guitarist Felix Martin, who is adept at playing the amazing double-neck 16-string guitar, will be released in Japan!
A must-listen for this unique sound that combines progressive metal in the style of DREAMTHEATER and ANIMALS AS LEADERS with melancholy melodies reminiscent of AL DI MEOLA and RODRIGO Y GABRIELA!
This is the fourth studio recording by Venezuelan technical guitarist Felix Martin, and it is a progressive Latin jazz metal album that takes traditional music from his hometown of Venezuela and transforms it into rock, prog, metal, jazz, and fusion, while keeping the Latin flavor intact! The band members include Victor Calacedo (drums), Javier Sepulveta (bass), and Adam Bentley of Arch Echo, a technical fusion band, who also participated in the mixing and mastering, providing full support from his allies from his Berklee days! He has also been highly praised for his collaborations with technical musicians such as SONS OF APOLLO and TONY MACALPINE, which were formed by former DREAMTHEATER member Mike Portnoy and MR. BIG member Billy Sheehan, and is currently the most popular technical guitarist, having toured the US with new generation guitar queen Sarah Longfield since May 2019!
