Karmakaze
Punk rock only takes three chords and a lot of attitude.
However, technical metal requires all of that in-your-face attitude, plus full knowledge of pentatonic and Dorian, major and minor, scales and arpeggios — all played really fast.
The guys of Karmakaze are up to the task, dishing out technical, avant-garde metal that is more than just head banging.
Guitarist Rick Horton, bassist Ryan Melanson and drummer Luis Rodriguez blend fast, high-pitched solos with laid-back, jazzy backgrounds, still retaining their toughness.
The new trio has already won most technical band and most inspirational band awards at Murphy’s Law at Seminole Hard Rock.
