hi so we are three guys from currently active bands that have resurrected a previously shelved band
myself on guitar (40's) drummer (40's) vocals (30's)
we are playing old school influenced thrash / death metal with some hardcore punk attitude
some more well known influences might be mid era sepultura, slayer and that sort of thing, i'm obsessed with the obscure and cult metal relics and take more influence from that so we want the band to be credible in that respect but also with some appeal to your average bloodstock metal head
we don't play nu metal, metalcore, deathcore, or anything like that, that is all cool music but it's not us
we require a lead guitarist and bass player to complete the line up
guitar player must be able to command aggressive and fast rhythm playing for 25 mins or more (jeff hanneman style) or the solos mean nothing! my stuff is not insanely technical but requires stamina and precision, then on top of that we want you frequently rip out wild thrash solos! you need an amp not a modeller but if you can do the other requirements you might get away with that!
bassist needs to know that you are part of the rhythm section and lock in with the drummer!
over 30 for continuity and i think some experience will be necessary, any walk of life is welcome if you can play, we need reliable and fun people - we make arrangements together and stick to them this is non negotiable! if you're a bit younger and want to make a name for yourself and gain some experience shredding on the live circuit, then we can discuss this
we don't have any big financial commitments but you need to be able to get around to make stuff happen and chip in for rehearsal if you were to join, we don't compete with anyone's partner, they're either cool and supportive of you doing a band and all that comes with it, otherwise don't waste our time
i'm the primary songwriter but the other guys have a lot of say and we work together, if you're any good and fit into our style first, before suggesting what we should or shouldn't do then it won't be long before we ask you what riffs and ideas you have and if we like them then you will be writing a lot too!
we are life long metal maniacs and experienced musicians, not bread heads or poseurs so we do it to serve metal, however we would like to become solvent at some point so this is a serious band but we are easy going too, look out for and support each other and love to play so this is an opportunity to be involved in something concrete!
enough talk, message me on here if you're interested, distance can be overcome and we can accommodate the right people, just get in touch and we can talk,
stay metal!
