We’re four musicians (drums, 2x guitars, bass — with bass evolving into guitar/synth/effects for some songs) putting together a metalcore project for fun with serious gigging intent. We aim to practice weekly, but fortnightly is more realistic as we all work shifts! We’re aiming to be gig ready within 2–3 months — hopefully before the end of the year.
What we’re looking for:
• Vocal style: Ability to deliver both harsh and clean vocals and transition between these.
• Creative input: We’ve got plenty of songs to share, but nothing is set in stone — we’re open to new ideas and building tracks from scratch.
• Stage presence: Confidence and energy to front a live show
Vocal preference:
We’re especially inspired by the unique energy and tonal range female vocalists bring to metalcore, so we’d love to find someone who shares that vision. That said, we’re open to anyone who can bring passion, creativity, and commitment to the project.
Influences:
Spiritbox, Novelists, Architects, Sleep Token, Tool and other metalcore classics (although what that consists of could be debated…)
About us:
• Four fellas with a tight rhythm section and layered guitars.
• Focused on writing dynamic, atmospheric, and heavy material.
• Collaborative approach — we want this to feel like a band, not a job. We can’t emphasise enough that we just want to have fun with this.
Next steps:
• Drop us a message with a short demo if you feel comfortable.
• Tell us about your influences and ideas.
• We can send you some of our old and newer ideas, if you like them we can arrange a little practice
