The thing is, I'd like to find a band which has Spanish- or Latino- or such influences, you know, like flamenco guitar etc. And I'd also like it to be some kinda (prog)rock or -metal, you know, like Mars Volta. I seriously when they sing in Spanish or play some acoustic parts, even though the electric parts are as good too. Do you have anything to match my seekings? :P

Thanks in advance, even if you don't find anything you at least tried. ;)

I don't know if we have it in Progarchives, but Flametal is the best example of extreme/tech/shred-metal blended with flamenco.

I recommend Arnold Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire for fans of RIO/Avant. Schoenberg was the original avant chamber master. He invented a method of composing that completely steps outside of the realm of standard tonality. Along with publishing several books, Schoenberg was also an early teacher to avant composer John Cage. Fans of Univers Zero, Art Bears, Present, & Art Zoyd should feel right at home! Big smile
 
...give it a listen (tracks 2 - 22):

ALL Schoenberg is good.  Of his students, I like Anton Webern; have yet to hear Alban Berg, but I will be correcting that soon.

I recommend Cloudkicker. Cloudkicker is the instrumental, avant-prog metal project of Ben Sharp, who resides in Columbus, Ohio. He releases all his albums for free. Excellent math rock mixed with some post. Check him out!. Thumbs Up If you like the band Textures you'll enjoy this as well.

Well, I'm going to recommend people to give my album a try. I gave my own spin to the Genesis songs in the album that have found very positive reviews. My own compositions are brand new but bring back those sweet sounds of the Mellotron and the ARP synthesizer. I think it is an interesting mix but then again, I am the one who did it. However, Steve Hackett seemed to really like it and gave me some raving comments. Billy Sherwood (YES, CIRCA) was also very complementary as it was Shannon Taylor and Ty Tabor (King's X). With such great musicians complementing me on the album I can't help but to feel pretty good about it. Feel free to check out the sound samples at: http://www.leonplaysmusic.com/Site/Music_%26_Credits.html

I base my music on creating soundscapes and textures that at times blend or contrast with each other. For this particular album my compositions were heavily influenced by Genesis' instrumentals but they are still rich and hold their own. If you are a Genesis fan who would like to hear some new takes on some old songs as well as some new music done in the similar style of the Genesis from the late seventies, then perhaps you'll find my CD to be something you like. Check the web address listed here to hear the music and to read about the thinking behind it.

This is actually very good.

Rhythmically, it reminds heavily of Nothing and Catch Thirty-Three-era Meshuggah. However, on top of the angular riffing and the mechanical rhythmic patterns are layers upon layers of atmospheric melody that really do make this music come across as some kind of math-metal/post-metal hybrid. Think a mixture of Meshuggah, Textures, and something like Isis or Long Distance Calling. It also sounds a lot like the last TesseracT demo. Pretty impressive for a one-man thing anyways.

Definitely seconded.

Don't know if Tzibo is still looking here, but how abou those two Bozzio Levin Stevens albums?
Quite a lot of flamenco influence on those two.

I highly recommend the band Heldon:
