Hi all,
I'm a versatile vocalist in the area of metal, ranging from high screams, mid shouts and low guttural as well as clear shouts in the more hardcore and punk vein. I can also provide some clean vocal too. Along with this I'm a very active front man whilst on (or somewhere around) the stage.
I'm extremely passionate when it comes to writing lyrics so I'm looking to put these back into something with meaning instead of just being words in poetic form sitting on my laptop at home.
I'm in my very early 30's, Bicester based and I also drive. If needs be I also know a great studio to rehearse and write etc.
I've been in bands in the Oxfordshire area for over 10 years, with that I have plenty of experience when it comes to writing, recording and performing. I'm very energetic on stage, providing something to be seen and not just heard to create that full live experience. I've performed all over the UK at many established venues such as the O2 Academy Oxford and The Craufurd Arms in MK. In turn, I still have some pretty decent contacts too. Along with that, I have played along side bands such as Hacktivist, FellSilent, Tesseract, Sworn To Oath, Young Guns, ChuggaBoom!, Bam Margeras Fuckface Unstoppable, Hang The Bastard, Evil Scarecrow, Dear Superstar, Desert Storm, Cerebral Ballzy and He Is Legend.
My main direction regarding sound is in the vein of the following :-
(Note - my influences range much further that what is shown below).
Killswitch Engage - The End Of Heartache and As Daylight Dies
As I Lay Dying - Frail Words Collapse, Shadows Are Security and An Ocean Between Us
All That Remains - The Fall Of Ideals
Caliban - The Opposite From Within, The Undying Darkness, The Awakening and Say Hello To Tragedy
Parkway Drive - Killing With A Smile and Horizons
Bleeding Through - This Is Love, This Is Murderous and The Truth
Sea Of Treachery - At Daggers Drawn
August Burns Red - Leveler
After The Burial - In Dreams
Still Remains - Of Love and Lunacy
Bury Tomorrow - Portraits and The Union Of Crowns
You get the idea.
Please get in touch if you're looking for anything along these lines. I'm ideally looking to start a fresh band, but I'm open to hear any other offers.
If you have any demos, even better. PM me and I'll happily provide an email address to send them over to.
I also have past material to hand should you like to hear.
Thanks for your time.
