(Progressive Metal) The Element - From Sand - Part I - 2012, MP3, V1

The Element is a progressive metal band, which uses their knowledge as work tool, mixing technique, feeling and heaviness in their music. Some of the band’s influences are, Angra, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Dream Theater, Symphony X..

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.
