Astrophobic is a new project, although we have 5-6 songs written and recorded. We already have two guitarists and bassist, and we're interested in taking this project live. We had a drummer who wrote parts for one song - he isn't able to commit to gigs at the moment. Have been described as a 'heavy King Crimson' by more than one person. Influences are Opeth, Devin Townsend, Porcupine Tree, Tangerine Dream, and Mats/Morgan.
It is very metally in places, so ability to play (or willingness to learn) extreme metal is a must. Ideally some versatility with prog and unusual time signatures would be great. You'd need to be able to play to a click.
You would need enough gear to get by for live and rehearsals. And you'd need to able to make it for rehearsals in either Reading or Basingstoke, up to weekly before gigs.
You can listen to one recorded song at Bandcamp - https://astrophobic.bandcamp.com/releases.
