DNB+Metalcore band looking for bassist+clean singer

Livonia MI

Description

Looking for a bassist to join an electronic metalcore band based out of Livonia and Canton. It would be amazing if you could also be our clean singer. Must have your own gig equipment. We're 25 and 27 and would prefer you not be extremely far out of that age range. I'm not interested in working with conservatives. The original plan was that guitar would be the only actual human instrument in the group, but I'm coming to realize how important the bass guitar is. Right now we are a vocalist and guitarist+producer. The drums are going to be electronic, and there are lots of synths. The easiest way to describe our sound would be that we're mixing drum and bass with metalcore. Most of our songs are at or near 174 BPM. We have some songs that are regular verse-chorus songs, and some that are closer to DnB structure songs with build ups and drops. I want a healthy mixture of the two. I'll also be adding a slightly bigger dubstep influence as time goes on and I know better how to make dubstep sound good. Big influences are Enter Shikari, Crossfaith, I See Stars' New Demons album, Maduk, and The Qemists. This is an example of a verse-chorus song: https://soundcloud.com/cameron-sumner-1/174-dubsteppyish-5-new-mid-bass/s-WwCUEO4cHiw And this is an example of a DnB style song (this style will be a lot better for the 2nd release now that I have more songs under my belt and I get how to make this work): https://soundcloud.com/cameron-sumner-1/breakbeat-guitar-chorus-first/s-0BwLo6VX1JE There's still going to be a bunch of sub bass from synths, so we would have to experiment to figure out the best way to bring out the punch of the bass guitar without losing the sub bass. Right now, I have 6 instrumental tracks written for our first EP and the vocalist is writing on them, so on the first EP, I'm mostly just looking for the bass to help fill the sound of the guitar. For all music we make after this first EP, I would expect you to have a bigger creative role. Because the bass is so important to the sound, there is a lot of room for interesting and intricate writing if you want to do that.
