Benjamin Woods and his monster creation FLAMETAL released their latest masterpiece, Heavy Mellow, on July 6th, 2010 via Flametal Records. Woods is featured in a new interview with MetalSymphony.com, where he discusses the record and the band's forthcoming album, Vision. An excerpt is available below:

Q: Some months ago you released Heavy Mellow, your third album which represents the consolidation of Flametal in the rock scene. How do you feel about this work?

BW: "Heavy Mellow was really a solo album, where I played the flamenco guitars, cajon and palmas, and that was all the instrumentation. I had a great time arranging some of my favorite metal classics for flamenco guitar in tango, rumba and buleria forms. And learning the solos was a *****, but a fun challenge (especially KING DIAMOND). I'd love to do another album like that with more of my metal and rock favorites. Maybe next year."

Q: What plans does the band have now: release a new CD or keep on doing promotion of Heavy Mellow?

BW: "I wanted the Heavy Mellow album to be publicised much more than it was, which was disappointing. But hey, whatever, shit happens. I actually have the new Flametal album, Vision, all completed, which should be available by by this summer. This album has awesome guest appearances from some of my favorite artists such as Marc Rizzo (SOULFLY), Steve Stevens (BILLY IDOL), Glen Drover (ex-MEGADETH), Sean Reinert (DEATH) and more. This album is a 'game changer' and defines a new genre. I couldn't be more happy with it. Flametal will continue to play our live shows in more and more places with myself, Thomas Perry, Brian Spalding and Angeline Saris."
