Phrygian dominant is Phrygian with a major third: 1 b2 3 4 5 b6 b7. The half step above the root against a major third is the sound of flamenco, klezmer and Middle Eastern music, and a favorite of metal players. It is the fifth mode of harmonic minor, so E Phrygian dominant uses the same notes as A harmonic minor.
