“The Shreddite” Diego Vargas is a Nashville based shred guitarist. Combining his love of crushing riffs, fast guitars and modern production with a theatrical twist, he strives to bring the excitement of metal and shred to a whole new audience of headbangers. Taking influence from artists such as Ice Nine Kills, Nita Strauss, and Pantera, his music has been described as Cinematic Metalcore (Theatricore) mixed with thrash roots and enough shred to melt your face off.  

He has toured the country with multiple artists, most notably opening as direct support for Nita Strauss on her Winter Wasteland tour. He released his debut single in October of 2023 “Dead by Dawn”, an exhilarating ride of chaotic riffs and intense shred inspired by horror movies of the past. He immediately followed it up with his latest single “Down With the Ship”, a dramatic metal dream that slowly turns into a nightmare about the pressures of life, and that we either rise to the occasion or go “Down With The Ship”.

 “The Shreddite” Diego Vargas is currently playing with Nashville Female Fronted Hard Rock Band “Jane & The Killer Queens". He has a third single on the way along with a pop culture metal cover and a jaw dropping live show in the works, he is planning on taking the metal world by storm, and he’s only just begun.
