Hello, sorry for this wall of text, but a tl;dr will be at the bottom.
We are a melodic death metal/melodic metalcore band hoping to find an experienced drummer as well as a vocalist to join us. Our main influences are melodic death metal bands such as The Black Dahlia Murder and Children of Bodom, as well as classic metalcore bands such as All That Remains, Bullet For My Valentine, and Killswitch Engage. We have a decent amount of original material written (we have some of our tracks linked at the end of this ad), although it is instrumental due to none of us having any vocal experience or training, but we are willing to rewrite parts to accommodate your skill level or preferences.
General Requirements:
- We would prefer people around the age of 18 (between 18 and early 20s), although this isn't a hard limit, and if you're a great fit then age won't really matter.
- A decent understanding of our genre.
- While we'd prefer for you to be in the area as long as we can easily travel to you, or you to us, then location isn't too much of an issue.
- We don't require you to have any experience playing live or recording, we're happy to teach you everything we know and won't judge.
Vocalist Requirements:
- For the vocalist we would like someone that can either do Death Metal styled vocals similar to vocalists like Chuck Schuldiner (Death) or Trevor Strnad (The Black Dahlia Murder), but if you can also do a mix of cleans and screams in the style of Phil Labonte (All That Remains) or Matt Heafy (Trivium) that works for us too.
Drummer Requirements:
- Decently skilled in Death Metal drumming, so be prepared for a lot of blast beats and technical playing.
- Able to transport your kit or, if possible having the space for us to practice with you, if that's not possible though we also have a very basic electric drum kit with a double kick pedal.
- Comfortable playing in different time signatures as well as switching time signature during a song, e.g. going from 4/4 to 7/8 or 9/8.
Thank you for reading our ad! if this interests you or if you'd like more information then feel free to message me either on here or reach out via text (07889 268375).
tl;dr: Looking for a Death Metal drummer in the style of The Black Dahlia Murder/Children of Bodom, and vocalist who can either do Chuck Schuldiner/Trevor Strnad type vocals or Phil Labonte/Matt Heafy vocals.
