Prog Metal band ISO Bassist and Keys

Austin TX

Description

Guitarist/vocalist (Manny), Lead guitarist (Alex) and Drummer (Bert) are looking to fill the void of our recently moved bassist/synth player. We are currently looking for a skilled Bassist and Keyboardist for a metal / hard rock project. Elevator pitch of what we sound like... think in the vein of A Perfect Circle and Karnivool vocally and BTBAM and The Human Abstract musically. In the broadest strokes obviously. Firstly we’re looking for a bassist that has those prog worthy chops, can contribute to the song writing process and obviously for any band member can mesh on a personal and musical level. If you can provide any kind of vocals that’s a plus and it’s worth stating that we play 7 string guitars so if you play 5 or 6 string bass that’d be optimal. Secondly, we’ve been a four piece for a long time but we’ve opted to add on a full time key player to really fill out the soundscape of this new direction we’re envisioning. We have some parts written but this is new territory for us. And again if you have confidence in your vocal abilities, I have vocal harmony parts I’d love to try out or hell you can be the singer sometimes, there’s no rules. This band is meant to be a collaborative effort between us… well five now, so ideally we’d like our bassist and keyboardist to have as much input in the song writing as any of us (think more Mastodon than Mars Volta). If possible we’d prefer to add members who are not currently in other bands but not an absolute deal breaker for the right fit. We’re looking for people who have their head on straight, have pro gear, can make it to practice on time and can contribute to this band. Finding the right band members is obviously a difficult task but we want it to be known that the door is open to everyone, male, female, nonbinary, all races, all creeds etc. It’s about finding the right fit as people. A little about us, we’re 3 guys (31,32,33) who have played a lot of music over the years and strive to continue making great music. We’ve been on an extended hiatus through this pandemic but we’re hoping to, Avengers Assemble a full band again and finally record the EP we’ve been sitting on. From there the hope is the five of us will begin writing new material and start playing shows. With that said I want to be upfront and say we do this project in our spare time. We're not looking to "make it big" or tour the country, we simply want to make records and play shows and if we gain traction from that then awesome. For a taste of what we sound like, here's an oldie. We have demos of new stuff as well https://youtu.be/6CK6ar5BmC0 If youre interested we'd love to hear from you. https://linktr.ee/DissolvedHorizons random bands to help people find this post tool a perfect circle APC karnivool between the buried and me BTBAM the human abstract protest the hero the mars volta mastodon opeth devin townsend dream theater gojira dear hunter pantera plini polyphia intervals chon tesseract ghost periphery cynic katatonia steven wilson porcupine tree artificial language caligula’s horse
