I'm looking for musicians to collaborate with me on bringing two fictional bands to life for a new tabletop game I'm creating.
The game is set in Crossreach, a brutal industrial city with its own music scene. Two of its bands already exist within the world — they have artwork, posters, lyrics, stories and a rivalry going back years.
What they're missing is the people behind the music.
I'm looking for a band or a solo artist for either project.
BONE TAX
Fast, abrasive punk with a sarcastic, confrontational edge. Short songs, big hooks and plenty to say.
Bone Tax are a loose collective rather than a conventional fixed lineup, so this could work particularly well as either a band or a solo project.
CHAIN GOSPEL
Something darker and heavier — extreme metal built around the sound and imagery of a religious congregation.
Chanting, choral voices, liturgical passages and ritual atmosphere collide with crushing guitars, harsh vocals and huge, heavy sections.
They're faceless by design, hidden beneath deep cowls, and the people behind the voices can change from record to record. Because of that, this could work equally well as a band or as a solo project.
THIS IS A CREATIVE COLLABORATION
This isn't simply a request to make a soundtrack for a game.
The idea is to actually bring these fictional bands to life together.
You bring your musical style, ideas and creative talents to the project. I'll build the fictional world, characters, artwork, posters, releases, stories and visual identity around the music.
If you're comfortable with the visual side as well, we'd love to work with you on a photoshoot and actually dress you as the fictional band. That could become part of the band's photography, artwork and promotional material.
If you'd rather stay behind the music, that's completely fine too — we can use models or stand-ins for the visual side.
The bands will ultimately appear within the tabletop game, including as physical miniatures.
The music remains yours, you'll be credited as yourselves, and any income generated by the music belongs to you.
WHO WE ARE
I'm building a new tabletop games publisher called Black Orchard. We're new, so searching the company name won't turn up a huge amount yet, but the games themselves are real and live.
Our current projects are:
thehiddenrpg.com
enochtheveil.com
vhsthebleed.com
843acres.com
The Hidden is our first release and is heading to Kickstarter shortly.
The Crossreach project is here:

If either Bone Tax or Chain Gospel sounds like something you'd genuinely enjoy exploring, get in touch.
I'd much rather find people who are excited by the idea and see where the collaboration goes than try to prescribe exactly what it should become.
