Drummer Wanted For Metal Band

Chicago IL

Description

Our band is looking for a drummer well-versed in metal to join our band. We have a practice space in Avondale and capabilities for at-home and practice-space recording, with studio recording being the ultimate goal down the road. Currently we're working on recording demos for a full-length album. Our previous drummer moved out of the area, but we were able to record his drums for the current album and are in the process of getting those mixed and edited; and we're in the early stages of re-recording guitars and bass. We'd be looking for a drummer to learn those songs--with the freedom to impart your own voice and style--but also, and most importantly, to jam and work on new material! There might also be opportunities to re-record your drums on the current album in a studio at some point. Stylistically, the music is a meld of doom, black metal, post-metal, groove metal, and some new age death metal. Think Wolves in the Throne Room covering Yob, Gatecreeper covering Cult of Luna, Outer Heaven covering Pallbearer, Wake covering Tool, Throes covering Pantera, Etc. Etc. Based on the above, double-bass drum rolls are obviously required. Blast beats are present in some songs but not gratuitous. We're also very much interested in a drummer that can write and hold a groove. If you also have your hand in synths, piano, lyrics, vocals, visual art...that would be cool but certainly not required. As far as live shows go, we're still very much in a pandemic so there wouldn't even be the possibilities of live shows for at least 4-5 months; and based on our age (mid 30s), jobs, and life commitments excessive shows and touring are pretty much out of the question. If interested please hit us up and we can share some samples!
