I'm currently looking for a person or people to join in with an industrial metal type project. I'm thinking something along the lines of 3teeth/Static-X/Powerman 5000 (when they were good).
I'm mainly a vocalist but also a songwriter. I don't really play an instrument but I have a 5 string bass (because I love that low end) that I use to get down "riffs" that I have in my head. Generally I like to write lyrics but as they take shape I kind of hear the music in my head to go along with it and therefore can "write" a song in my head in terms of structures and the general sound of each part such as lighter verse, heavier chorus etc.
I can also play drums to an extent and can easily track some simple beats. At the moment I'm using a mobile app to track basic beats to get the basic song structures down to then play the bass lines along to or sing along to to get the vocals lined up.
Generally this would start as more of a studio project just to get some full songs written and recorded before thinking about playing live. With this in mind I'm not looking for a specific type of full band, more just a person or people who are interested in chipping in and throwing in ideas etc.
Mainly I would like to find a guitarist to get some riffs down, but it would also be helpful to eventually get someone that can play bass and drums competently to save me doing it myself. I'd prefer to tell someone "I want the riff to go like this..." and kind of sing it, rather than getting them down on the bass myself.
I'd also like to find someone who can do keys/synth as I'd love to have some of that involved to rally good a good industrial sound.
Give me a shout if you're interested and we can have a chat and share some ideas and see how it goes.
