Expert shred fusion guitarist Ramon Ortiz, who was originally discovered on an international scale during his successful stints with revered Latin American metal groups Puya and Ankla, will release his second solo album Portal on September 15th. The album is available for pre-order via iTunes now with instant-grat tracks.

Ramon Ortiz’s career has always been characterized by the exploration of seemingly incompatible musical genres and the relentless pursuit of fusing them together. His music ranges in influence, craftily balancing traditional shred with Latin American rhythmic instrumentation and various fusion elements. Portal showcases these influences and more, and progresses even beyond Ortiz’s first solo record, Ortiz (2012). This first record initially introduced fans to Ortiz’s undeniable musical ability in a solo setting, and reached the top 20 most-played tracks on Sirius XM Liquid Metal.

Ramon Ortiz is currently sponsored by Seymour Duncan pickups, Mesa Boogie amps and Fernandes guitars, who built him his first signature seven string tribal themed guitar, designed by Ortiz himself.

Stay tuned for more music and videos coming soon from Ramon Ortiz in the coming weeks.
