KARELIA’S DISCORD is looking for a drummer to complete 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 resonate with listeners and are currently located in Aberdeen.
We have weekly practices and have our own designated studio & practice space that we are constantly expanding to enlist on new avenues.
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, Tool, The Cure etc.
Note that we are not limited to a specific genre, and we have song categories from pop to rock to progressive ballads to acoustic compositions, electronica and even jazz elements, we love to experiment and create, and we always come up with unconventional musical experimentations, so having a diverse taste in music is considered a plus, the more the merrier!
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, and we always love a creative approach to it.
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, if you have no problem in being able to play our material you’re more than ready to join us; a little music theory knowledge is beneficial but this is not required; a willingness to improve and develop yourself is more important to us!
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 over time, 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 www.kareliasdiscord.com as well as our music which can be found on any platform, available through the website or otherwise.
Just shoot an e-mail to kareliasdiscord@gmail.com and please include your name, relevant details, portfolio (if any), and a short summary of who you are and your interests, and what made you show interest in joining us.
Thank you for your time, we appreciate and await your response!
