Hi,
I'll try and cut the waffle and get to the point - I'm a 37yo bloke, I've been making music for ages. I've previously played in actual bands on stage, but for a while I've just been busy in my studio writing music and collaborating.
Recently I spun up a new project. I have no idea of the true genre, hence the 'Prog/Metal/Doom/Goth(???)' being as close as I can to categorising it. You can listen to an early, and rough, draft demo of the album here:

(If you're impatient, skip to around 08:35 for a song that covers the style early on - warning that the guitars are horrible placeholders)
I don't have any concrete plans for this other than recording it, however I'm throwing it out there in the chance other likeminded people want to get together, either collaborating or forming an actual band. There's a lot of synth in this, so it's likely we'd probably have some form of pre-coded synth track, ideally I'd like to go quite theatrical with it, maybe some sort of video/visual elements, lighting, but that's a conversation for further down the line.
If this tickles your pickle, let me know and we can figure out logistics. There's no rush with this - I'm a Dad and permanently knackered anyway - but my only goal is to get this released this year, actual band behind it or no. If we do go live, I have no intention of touring or any of that, I'm too old and cranky to do that, but I would like to instead focus on other things I feel I ignored when I was younger - recording videos, working on a follow up album, actually creating a body of work.
I know the above draft is quite rough, so if you're interested in what my actual finalised work sounds like, here's an example (timeskip intentional - latter half of the song is probably more applicable to this project):

If you're not keep on this particular project but still fancy working on something, give me a shout - I usually have several projects on the go at once
