Nottingham based metal band, The Parasite Syndicate, require a new full time vocalist to move forward with, following the release of our debut, self-titled album.
After a series of life changing events and a health scare, our former vocalist made a tough decision to leave the band. This was a decision that had to be made in a very short space of time, and as a result there was little warning of his departure. This also happened very close to our album release date, causing a few unavoidable set-backs. However, now that things have settled back down – with some amazing opportunities ahead of us – the search must begin...
Having released the album, we’ve made a decision to drive the band forwards in a new direction, with the addition of a new vocalist. Our new vocalist will be an equal member in the band, and have an equal amount of influence in the band’s music and direction going forwards.
We have a number of gigs confirmed over coming weeks, most notably our album release show in April (further details on these gigs will be given to all who show an interest). Our new vocalist will need to be able to learn the songs from the album in a given time frame, to be ready to perform the album live. HOWEVER, we appreciate that every vocalist is different... You will of course need to perform the songs on the album live, but we don’t expect you to replicate and reproduce precisely the vocals that you hear on the record; in the way our former vocalist did them. We expect you to be yourself, with your own style, and bring something unique to this band.
It doesn’t matter if your screams are higher or lower than his, or if your cleans are different to his (or not so clean at all) – we’re just looking for someone who is able to blow people away with their OWN voice.
If you’re interested in auditioning – don’t hesitate to get in touch. We’re all friendly, open minded people and would love to hear what you’ve got! Any examples of previous work/performances are welcome and more often than not helpful – however, not necessary. A couple last points before I leave you – we’re ideally looking for someone who...
- Has their own equipment
- Can commit to regular rehearsals (we have our own rehearsal space/lockup)
- Has their own transport (although not essential)
- Is between the ages of 18-25 (again, exceptions can be made)
- Is financially stable (most musicians aren’t loaded – we just want to make sure you’ve not got outstanding debts with the local dealer – this isn’t good)
- Isn’t a drug addict (I was reminded by my last point...)
