Lucas Yaksic: Elemento 115

Chilean guitarist Lucas Yaksic is back in 2010 with another awesome onslaught, Elemento 115, which is a follow up to his 2006 solo instrumental heavy metal CD, Vol. 10. Yaksic offers more of his trademark devastating riffs and solos, showing great technical skill, creativity, and intelligence. Guitarists such as Paul Gilbert, Andy Timmons and Michael Angelo Batio team up with Yaksic for clinics and shows when in Chile, giving the metal guitarist even more exposure to the rabid guitar community. Acts such as Metallica, Iron Maiden and Motley Crue have influenced his style, which adds a shred component to ferocious metal rhythms tempered with psychedelic rock ideas, and even more eclectic tone passages. Fans of guitarists such as Alejandro Silva or Pascal Allaigre should warm up quickly to the music of Lucas Yaksic and his band Buy
