  • Welcome to the release of Flametal “REDUX”, the final record of our beloved Ben Woods. As you must know by now, Ben was a groundbreaking guitarist, composer and artist. Bringing together his metal roots and his love for flamenco, he was always fearless on his artistic journey. His swan song is certainly no different with stripped down, reimagined versions of his classics along with brave new compositions, which he kept writing to the very end.
    Ben was an extraordinary person that touched everyone with his energy, positivity and generosity. May he continue to do so through his art for eternity.
    Credits:
    Written, Produced and Engineered by Ben Woods
    Cover art by Ben Woods.
    Mastering by Mario Alberni for Kadifornia Mastering
    Executive Producer Eric Jaeger
    ©℗ 2023 Ben Woods
    All songs, arrangements and instruments by Ben Woods except:
    “Bamflam”, Ben’s take on the Gipsy Kings classic.
    “Primal”, Ben’s tribute to Jason Becker’s Primal featuring:
    Ben Woods - Flamenco Guitar
    Brian T. Spalding - Electric Guitar
    Uriah Duffy - Bass Guitar
    Thomas Perry - Percussion
    Ben played his signature Ortega flamenco guitars, his “creation” the Nylocaster, and various electric guitars, palmas and drum programming.

    The creator of Flametal had a short life, but I will ensure his genre lives on. Will pass it on to my students and everyone I know who plays guitar.

    In my opinion, he'll live on as the only person who could properly mix flamenco and metal. R.i.p. to a GOAT of the guitar scene.

    Dammit, Ben Woods was the inspiration for me to grab the guitar again (must be honest, reason why I picked it up in the first place was Chopin, though), really sad to hear there will be no more content from him.

    Ben was a big loss to the guitar world 😔✌️. I wish there was video or stills of them creating this really exceptional playing, watching Ben perform always added to the work as you could see his passion as part of the sound. Without any doubt, this is his finest work, world class 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

    I have enjoyed Ben’s music and videos for many years. His suffering and passing made me so sad, I stopped watching the videos and music for awhile. I was reluctant to listen to this new record at first, but I really enjoy it. It is beautiful. What a beautiful soul. Thank you for your teaching and your beautiful music. Rest in Peace.

    I wish I got to see you one last time man. Love you brother. I remember you calling me to see you play a club in the U District and we hadnt seen each other in over 10-15 years. I got to the club right when your set ended and you came out of the club sweating and steaming in the night air and just had this glow of awesomeness about you. I knew you, you didnt recognize me. I just said "Hey fkr" The smile on your face is unforgettable. WIll miss floating rivers and camping man. Love you dude! Thanks to your new musical world friends for keeping you alive and pushing your new music. Very good ladies and dudes!
