Hi -
Shadow of Acolyte are an East Midlands-based Hard Rock/Heavy Metal band looking for a drummer.
We already have one full-length album release (Nicene Creed) and had a good review in PowerPlay magazine and were featured on a cover CD for Fireworks magazine.
We play a mixture of traditional Hard Rock/Heavy Metal with some Progressive tendencies. Our main influences include Melodic Classic Metal such as Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Savatage, King Diamond/Mercyful Fate, Scorpions, UFO, Yngwie Malmsteen etc.
We've been rehearsing weekly for around a year and we are looking to gig soon. We have already started to record new songs for our second album and you would be able to be involved in this.
The band currently consists of a vocalist, two rhythm/lead guitarists and a bassist/vocalist.
Location does not matter too much as we are spread across Nottingham/Grantham/Kettering at the moment but meet in Loughborough most Tuesdays and occasionally Thursdays and are gig-ready. You'd also need to contribute towards rehearsals (about £8 a week) and also towards recording sessions (about £30 per session, but this is less often obviously!)
We play originals plus one cover (Iron Maiden's Revelations) - we are not a covers band and our primary intention is to get our own stuff out there.
Must have a good sense of humour but be serious about being involved in some well-thought out music.
In terms of playing ability, we do need someone who is able to play in odd time signatures as some of our songs have sections with odd meters (nothing OTT though!). We don't necessarily need a 'double-bass' drummer but the odd flourish here or there would be great!
Some of our album tracks can be found here:

Anyway, if you are interested or want more info, just message us! If you have links to any recordings/videos that would be helpful too.
Cheers!
