KARELIA’S DISCORD is looking for a drummer to join our line-up.
We’re a VISUAL ROCK band with an emphasis on genre blending, visual aesthetics and ephemeral melodies to create our own atmosphere and are currently located in Aberdeen.
Sonically, our music draws a lot of inspiration from avant-garde & Japanese rock and other known bands such as DIR EN GREY, X JAPAN, sukekiyo, MUCC, The GazettE and western streaks of influences of acts such as A Perfect Circle, The Mars Volta, Leprous etc.
In our band culture, our songwriting and arrangements compliment the piece or song as the intent of our compositions require a mixture of atmosphere and traditional songwriting, for instance, we do not persistently label a guitarist strictly as ‘lead’, or ‘rhythm’ but more attuned to what the composition requires, and what works texturally.
The drums play an important part in this and we incorporate textures that can translate into rhythms or grooves that manifest the foundation of the music.
We are excited to provide a unique opportunity to the successful applicant as we believe they will be able to express themselves freely within the musical boundaries of our repertoire and really shine, utilizing their opportunity and showcase themselves.
We are open to various skill levels, but it is expected that you can play your instrument proficiently to some degree and know a little bit of musical theory although not required; a willingness to improve and develop yourself is more important to us.
Fundamentals and concepts of music are advantageous I.E., musical theory when submitting a query for the band of course.
Above all else, we are seeking a member for long-term, with a strong work ethic and willingness to improve which is more important to our band setting as our philosophy strongly insists that skill can always be improved upon, whereas a poor work ethic is harder to ‘fix’.
To reiterate, we are seeking a member that can see themselves long-term and is willing to commit to this as a core member.
More information about our music can be found on our website on https://kareliasdiscord.com/ as well as our music which can be found on any platform, available through the website.
For any serious contenders, please allow yourself to listen to the latest release titled ‘SILENTIUM’ before applying, as this will give you a glimpse into our musical repertoire, but not limited to it.
Note that we are not limited to a specific genre, as you will find out after a thorough examination of the way we work and create, and we always come up with unconventional musical experimentation, so having a diverse taste in music is considered a plus.
please e-mail staff@kareliasdiscord.com and please include your full name, relevant details, portfolio (if any), and a short summary of why we should consider you.
Thank you for your time
