Hi, I'm JD. I'm a 20 year old guitarist and songwriter from Portsmouth and my band is called "Hell is Empty". I've written 4 albums of unreleased music and am looking for band mates who are interested in making "being in a band" their lifestyle and career. I'm not looking for anyone to write their own parts but people who are talented and can learn the parts I've written for the 40+ songs already written. I compose all the songs in guitar pro 7 so all you'll need to do is learn the sheet music/tab and then voila you're now a member of the band. It's a really easy gig if you're as serious and passionate about it as I am. If you aspire to be in a famous band, with original songs, signed to a label and touring, selling merch, and being in videos, this is for you. If you just want to be in a local covers band doing pub gigs, this isn't for you. (I hate to come off so strongly but I've been messed about by too many time wasters already)
I honestly can't compare myself to a specific band as I have so many influences, but it's probably somewhere between Bullet For My Valentine, Architects, and Rise Against. A mix of melodic hardcore/punk/metalcore/post-hardcore, and even some thrash influences. I'm a very unique musician (not in an egotistical way mind), but I work relentlessly on writing songs and getting actual results. This is a band that plays FAST metal/punk based music, but also melodic and I guess "radio-friendly" singles.
You DON'T need to have your own transport, you just need to be a decent person and respectful of other band mates, and find a way to show up to rehearsal. I'm looking for 3 guys aged 17-30 who are down to become best friends and take over the world with an amazing band!
I'm a visionary. I've got experience playing in bands and working with session musicians, but you don't have to be a music theory guru to be in Hell is Empty. Many bands have a creative leader and this is my role, a bit like Dave Mustaine of Megadeth, or Chuck Schuldiner of the band Death, where, without those individuals the band wouldn't sound the same. Although I write all the parts, I play rhythm guitar 90% of the time (I'm not into shredding but I play very fast rhythm).
(PS: if you aren't very intelligent or some rough Chav-like hardcase who takes drugs (hate to say it but I've played with some REAL morons in the past), please don't waste my time because this is a JOB, not a hobby. Making albums under an actual label is priority no.1, the purpose of gigging is to promote the album. If you want to make £50 a week doing pub gigs as a side thing to your job then you're not the guy I'm looking for.)
Need:
A fast drummer who can play double bass pedal
A fast lead guitarist to learn the parts, not write
A bass player (any level)
