BIOGRAPHY
www.theelementmusic.com
The Element is a California/USA based Rock/Metal/Progressive act which uses their knowledge as work tool, mixing technique, feeling and heaviness in their music.
The band began with their debut concert in Brazil, opening for Blind Guardian in 2002. After they received such good reception in Brazil from their first album, "Mind Sludge", they decided to move their efforts to America in order to expand to an already fast-growing fan-base there.
After Rafael Macedo - Guitars/Vocals/Songwriter joined forces with Mitch Stewart (Circle II Circle)Bass/Co-singer/Co-songwriter, Henry Moreno (former-Imagika, Taunted)Drums, and Jeremy Villucci - KeyBoards, the band had found it's perfect lineup.
With their new lineup complete, the band began working on their second album with legendary producer, Beau Hill (Ratt, Warrant, Alice Cooper, Europe, Gary Moore, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Winger), who mixed and mastered the band's new album titled "From Sand - Part I"
The band is getting ready to tour in order to promote the new album.
