Black metal band looking for a guitarist and a bass player

Grand Rapids MI

Description

Hellish Torment is looking for a new guitar player and a new bass player. Below is a link with our 4 song demo. If it wasn't obvious, we play black metal. Basically if you can play Iron Maiden riffs and leads, then you are desired for this band. We pretty much want a melodic death metal sound like Kalmah and combine it with black metal. We want to keep it black metal and are not changing that. We won't even bother with someone with a huge prog influence. We like prog but let's be serious, prog and black metal just doesn't mix. Our last guitar player tried to bring it in and just listen to the third song on the demo which he wrote a majority of. It's real hard to add black metal riffs to that style to compliment it well. So some songs likely will go through a few changes. If you can write catchy fast riffs and not have a habit to drag it on too long, give us a try. We do have enough songs for a full length album and are trying to save up to go into the studio. Now where we are located. Me, the guitarist and vocalist, I am right in Grand Rapids but the drummer is 2 hours north of me. We might practice at my place sometimes and other times at his. If you live in GR or north and want to join us then cool. If this is an issue for you then it's up to you, but I am not going to drive out of my way to pick up somebody and then drive in the opposite direction to practice at my drummer's place. You are welcome to drive to my place then carpool with me. Same goes if you live way up north and we plan to practice at my place, ask to carpool with my drummer. We also don't practice constantly together due to distance and we have full time jobs. So don't hope to practice 5 days a week. Just a couple times a month on weekends. I also have contacts with some major acts such as Exmortus, Insomnium, Omnium Gatherum, Starkill, Vomitory, Witherfall, Exciter, Ne Obliviscaris, and somewhat with Dark Tranquility and Into Eternity. So if any of these bands are playing a show in Michigan or Chicago, I can get us booked with most of them, but probably not Witherfall since we really wouldn't fit on that bill. But regardless, we have great networking skills and are always getting more connections. https://youtu.be/zv6Kc53oC-k
