I’ve been out of the game for a while now - 5 years or so. In the past I’ve played in all sorts of heavier bands, but most recently was 6 years in a dark hardcore / crust band that was pretty active, touring regularly, releasing 2 albums and several EPs.
I’ve toyed with the idea of trying to get back in to something for a while now so putting the feelers out to see if there is anyone who shares the same sort of vision.
About me - 36, lots of gear (good standard), own transport and financially stable. I work shifts which means I can’t commit to a regular day every week so would just need to be a little more fluid in terms of rehearsal times etc.
I’ve been playing bass for over 20 years. I also reckon I could handle second guitar in a band too but quite happy with either. I live in Hertfordshire with easy access to London or counties surrounding Hertfordshire.
In my head I’ve got an idea of doing a band that is a mash up of black metal / post metal / sludge. Blackened-postsludgegaze might sum it up. I also have some ideas about incorporating elements of electronic music in to it but that doesn’t have to happen straight away or at all!
I’d be interested in hearing from any and all other instruments who might be interested in doing something similar. Age / gender not important. No egos / drugs / politics. Just want to make good music with good people who can turn up on time. Ideally looking to work with people with similar experience levels / good gear.
Quite happy for it to be a studio / recording project also for now with no pressure to get out and gig straight away. More just for the love of creating music and seeing what happens and hopefully meet some good, likeminded people along the way.
I’m also open to joining already established projects looking for a bassist / 2nd guitar.
Drop me a message if this sounds up your street!
