I have gave this a lot thought and decided that enough time has passed, and that it is now the time to try and get this band back to where it belongs. It was the creation of myself and my brother back in 2010, but last year 3 members left to pursue a different musical direction. As it stands I am the only current member of the band. The band is called One Life Left and we were signed to a record label called 'Dark Zero Records'. We released two tracks off an EP that was due to be recorded through Dark Zero, and we received radio play through BBC Introducing and other radio stations. We have also shared the stage with established acts such as Desolated, Create To Inspire, Carcer City and First Blood. Here are the links to the two tracks:

I am looking to eventually develop an overall sound, either similar to the two tracks above or something completely different, but I am open minded about this. I am looking for the following:
LEAD VOCALIST:
Ideally must be able to perform unclean vocals (highs and lows) to a good, consistent standard. Must have excellent frontman presence and confidence, and be able to keep a crowd's attention. Must be able to learn lyrics quickly and have good writing ability. Ability to sing clean vocals would be a massive bonus.
RHYTHM GUITARIST:
Must have excellent metal guitar playing technique and good writing ability. Own equipment (head/cab/pedals) would be ideal. Ability to sing clean vocals a massive bonus.
LEAD GUITARIST:
As above but need to have excellent soloing technique and ability to play the lead parts in the two tracks. A good ear for where lead parts in tracks would go well would be a massive bonus.
BASSIST:
Must have own equipment and good bass technique. Good knowledge of scales and ability to compliment the guitar and keep time with the drum rhythms. Bass distortion pedals would be great, as would the ability to sing clean vocals.
If any of the above sounds like you, and if you like what you hear then do not hesitate to get in touch. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope I haven't waffled on too long! I look forward to making music and having fun again in the future!
Cheers
