Hi,
I'm an experienced metal drummer of almost 30 years and in my late 30's.
I've been in several metal bands over the years and recently departed my thrash/groove metal band Regicide as they are on the verge of signing and going big next year, but due to the birth of my first child being due this year and the time and cost associated with the level they're venturing toward, I've had to step away, which is what brings me here.
I'd still love to play metal, but I'm looking for something a little less busy and expensive, at least for this year whilst I find my feet in fatherhood.
I'd love to start a new metal project with the right people or join something relatively new that's similar to the style of bands such as Thrown, Paleface Swiss etc.
I'm definitely open to experimenting with djent, slam, deathcore, argent metal, deathstep, dubstep, dnb, those sorts of elements to make something unique and super fkin heavy.
I'm pretty quick and technical with double bass, fills and my grooves, I can comfortably play around 160 - 200bpm, and my drumming is tight.
I've just finished recording my EP with Regicide which will be out soon on most platforms, but we have some stuff up already, just search for RegicideUK or check my drumming out on YouTube at https://youtube.com/@regicide7820?si=90YDt61E5UtCjD3t
I'm personable and easy to get on with and would ideally like to write with like minded musicians, and with that in mind I'd be looking for people in their late 20's to 30's to write with who are reliable, can drive, have their own gear and are financially stable.
I drive and have all my own gear and would prefer to meet locally in Chelmsford, somewhere like AT Music in Rettendon or within half hour drive, maybe as far as Colchester.
If you wanna reach out get in touch at opticalnitemare@gmail.com and we can go from there.
Cheers
Chris
