Vocalist Needed
Are you a dynamic, confident vocalist with powerful vocals?
We are a melodic metal band (guitar / drums / bass) in the Northants / Oxon / Warwickshire area (we rehearse in Southam), looking for a vocalist.
(We’ve previously had female vocalists but female or male isn’t important - ability is.)
We’re ‘Xyloc’ - not speed-metal or thrash-metal but closer to those genres than other metal-types: think Anthrax, Sepultura, Testament, with a healthy dose of early Black Sabbath and you won’t be a million miles away.
We’re not looking for screaming / grind-core / growl vocals – clean and powerful for us.
(It’s easy to find examples of our stuff on the interweb: FB / BandMix.)
We have 6 complete original songs (demo available with guide vocal), looking to write 3-4 more to complete an album. A few covers should complete a live set.
We’re a mid-aged group of passionate musicians committed to creating powerful, melodic music. No spring chickens but not dead yet. Your age isn’t important as long as your confident and into making music, it’s all good.
Rehearsals are currently evenings to suit diaries.
We are a collaborative band: you’ll be part of it, adding vocal melodies to songs, throwing in ideas wherever you have them with the music.
What We're Looking For:
Confident vocalist, capable of melodic and powerful performances.
Commitment to rehearsals and gigging – gigging is what it’s all about: you must want to gig, but we won’t get there without putting the work in at rehearsals.
Experience in rock / metal would be good but not essential.
We don’t do BS or egos, we do do (hu-hur!) a lot of laughing, being passionate about the music, believing in it and wanting to get it out there to a wider audience (gigs!).
If this sounds like something you’d like to be a part of, send us a message with a brief introduction and any demos (if possible) showcasing your vocal abilities and we’ll go from there.
Thanks for reading – you’ve been great, we’re Xyloc… goodnight!
