Hi all, I’m looking for a singer(s) to work with on some home studio recordings for fun to release for free digital downloads.
My background is I’m a guitarist / riff writer in Hellion Rising, we’ve become known for our groove and classic rock / metal riffs and built up a national following, realsed several studio cd's, played a few festivals and high profile supports etc but some of my favorite riffs and songs I’ve written just didn't fit the band, either the style didn't fit or personal preferences meant we would drop songs. Rather than let them go to waste, I’m looking at doing some semi studio quality recordings and releasing them as free digital downloads online.
I’ve got the music and production side covered, so I’m looking for an enthusiastic singer, or singers to work with to write lyrics and vocal melodies, and record vocals either at mine, or at your own place and we can work together via email. It may be that I use different singers on different songs depending how styles fit vocal styles and the interest I get.
There would be no costs for anyone – the reason I want to do this as home studio recordings is to avoid running up studio bills, but we will still aim for as near as studio quality recordings.
Below are a couple of links to some of the songs I’ve written for Hellion Rising:

And more importantly, here are some old demos from when I first wrote the type of songs I want to work on (this was before I had any decent recording software so is just done on an 8 track)
