Richard James is a solo heavy metal and neoclassical shred project that has been active since 2015, devoted to the intersection of classical composition and heavy guitar playing in the tradition of Yngwie Malmsteen and Tony MacAlpine. The project favors virtuosity as its organizing principle — technical proficiency deployed in service of melodic ideas that reach back to baroque and romantic influences as much as heavy metal tradition. Without a fixed location, Richard James operates in the global community of guitar-centric metal that has always transcended geography.
São Paulo guitarist who released his debut solo album Reasons for My Vengeance on October 4, 2024, through MS Metal Records with distribution by Tratore Music. The ten-track instrumental record was produced by Thiago Bianchi (Noturnall, ex-Shaman) and features Marcell Cardoso on drums and Alexandre Panta (ex-Hibria) on bass as a special guest.
Denver, Colorado's Ricochet have been flying the flag for traditional heavy metal since 1996, making them one of the Rocky Mountain region's most durable acts in the genre. Their sound looks backward to the classic NWOBHM and American heavy metal templates — anthemic, guitar-driven, melodically confident — at a time when the Denver scene was largely consumed by grunge's aftermath. Nearly three decades of activity is a testament to their commitment to a form of metal that never stopped being relevant to those who truly believe in it.
