Metalcore band in search for vocalist, bassist, and 2nd guitarist

Keyport NJ

Description

Seasoned guitarist and a professional drummer in search for a versatile metalcore vocalist, bassist and 2nd guitarist. We are in our early 30s and are extremely committed to music and taking this band as far as possible. Both of us have played many shows and have plenty of experience in writing/recording. We want to create opportunities for ourselves rather than waiting for “the big break” by working hard and growing through extensive marketing, perfecting our recordings/mixes, relentless networking, and becoming better overall musicians. We are extremely transparent with each other and constantly try to make each song fresh and different from the previous, while still staying true to our core sound (heavy, melodic, unpredictable). We are looking for a vocalist who is proficient in both singing and screaming. Stylistic and tonal ‘fit’ is extremely important to us, along with the the ability to write catchy hooks and melodies (Jesse/Howard from Killswitch, Oli Sykes from BMTH, Matt Tuck from BFMV to name a few). Reliability, dedication, and energetic stage presence is an absolute must. Similar criteria goes for what we’re looking for in a bassist and the 2nd guitarist. Ultimately, we want to find talented musicians who can not only play the current material, but also are able to add to the music and be part of the writing process. Currently, we practice 1-2 times per week at the drummers house in Union Beach NJ. Our influences include, but are not limited to: Pantera, I Prevail, BFMV, Killswitch, Architects, Slipknot, Wage War, Currents, etc.  Below are a couple of demos that we’ve put together to give you an idea of the style. Reply by telling us a little bit about yourself, your musical background, and the gear that you own/use. Also, please provide some examples of your current/previous work. Serious Inquires Only!
