Description

Hey, im looking to start a band from the ground up, not really married to the styles in the headline but more of an idea of what i like to play. I play bass i have an ampeg 8x10 and sunn concert bass head as my rig currently (have an ampeg svt pro 4 and 3 but both need repairs) I like to tune to b standard and sound gritty and muddy. bands i like and am influenced by are: EXCRUTIATING TERROR, AXEGRINDER, BENEDICTION, BOLT THROWER, EHG, BONGZILLA, BUZZOVEN, NO LE$$, PLUTOCRACY, KNELT ROTE, FINAL CONFLICT, BEOWULF, ENTOMBED/NIHILST, IMMORTAL FATE, DESPISE YOU, and a ton of others. again wanted to this from the ground up, so not trying to hit the ground running and play shows by years end i would rather get our sound down first. I just started playing again after a 2yr hiatus from my last band (also got hurt in late 2019 at work so couldn't play for a spell) so working on my chops again. i played in STRAINS OF THE APOCALYPSE (grind core) SELF INFLICTED(fast hc/crossover)BADR VOGU(sludge crust) FARTICUS(wierdo stuff think ehg meets butthole surfers) INVERTEBRATE(grind/power violence) and NEGATIVE VORTEX(death metal)
