Hi there, just came across your post. Just thought I'd give you a shout to see if you'd be interested in a project I've been working on. I'm putting together a power metal/ folk metal band, and have almost finished writing the first album (I'm up to nine tracks, currently working on the last track to make a cool ten).
I already write and perform in a band in Leicester, doing folk punk and gypsy punk since 2016. We've performed at a few larger festivals, the biggest I can think of was probably Boomtown, but we've got a solid reputation across the folk/punk scene and play a lot of smaller festivals each summer. I have been toying with the idea of putting together a tight metal band for a while, as it's something I've always wanted to do, but I wanted to get enough material written first before approaching any potential musicians. And it appears that time is now approaching.
It's still very much in its early stages, but you can listen to the instrumental demo tracks here, without any vocals yet added: https://soundcloud.com/jonnyeve/sets/thaumblast-demos . I'm aware they're not perfect and you will hear many minor mistakes, and I'm no professional when it comes to audio mixing, but these will hopefully give you an idea of the song structures and overall sound.
I have written vocals, all of which are very humorous and tongue-in-cheek parodies of the standard corny power metal fare, however I've not added them onto these recordings, so as to give a potential vocalist a chance to have a think about how THEY would contribute to these songs. My goal is ultimately to make a FUNNY band which is also tight as hell, thinking a wizard gimmick with costumes, ridiculous live shows with jokes and funny props, just a proper good time party metal band. But this is all of course negotiable in time.
If you're interested in any way, please feel free to hit me up on here, or drop me an email at jonathaneve@hotmail.co.uk
Cheers!
