Lyric Video – “ALCHEMY’S FIRE - Viewed Here:

Guitarist and band founder Kiko Shred has made plenty of noise in South America.
Since he started playing guitar in 1993, he has studied with several great guitarists and
has played in a multitude of high impact acts and continues to set the bar higher. With
the release of 2 albums; 2016’s “Riding The Storm” and “The Stride” in 2017, he now
looks to take the next step with the launch of “Royal Art” in 2019. Kiko is no stranger to
the big stage having officially joined the Latin American band of former Judas Priest
vocalist Tim “Ripper” Owens in 2015 and played with Owen’s this past April on the
South American leg of the Tour. With the release of his second album, “The Stride” in
2017, International praise intensified and Kiko launched his first solo tour in Mexico, a
country that he had previously visited while in Owen’s band. In 2018 he returned to
Mexico to accompany the legendary vocalist Michael Vescera (ex Yngwie
Malmsteen / Loudness / Dr. Sin) for several shows and after performing the shows
with Vescera, was asked to remain for a series of guitar clinics. During the trip, he
received an invite from the cabinet of the presidency of Mexico where he received a
medal thanking him for his presentations to the country; some amazing accolades
indeed. In 2018 Kiko started the production of his third album titled "Royal Art," under
the production of Andria Busic. To stabilize the band for this latest project, he called
upon veteran vocalist Mario Pastore to join Will Costa, Lucas Tagliari, and
himself to cement the high-powered lineup. Costa and Tagliari already having developed
a strong rapport with Kiko, playing shows with Ripper Owens, Vescera, UDO, André
Matos, Doogie White, Blaze Bayley, make this lineup one to keep your eyes on in
the coming years.
2019 marks the release of the album "Royal Art" and the band’s first show abroad, held
at the Metal Oasis festival in Chile. From here on out there is nothing, but big things on
the horizon for this Six String master. The world will soon see the talent that is Kiko
Shred.
