Metal Vocalist Looking to Join a Band

Portland OR

Description

Hello and good day everyone. My name is Alexander and I would like to find a band to write and perform metal with. I will try to keep this post short. (wish me luck) I am a super easy going mostly happy hippy-ish cannabis smoking nerdy psychonaut metalhead that likes to scream obnoxiously into microphones... Okay, well not obnoxiously. But I do like to scream with purpose and write my own lyrics. I have a decent range with my screams ranging from guttural pig squeals and primal false chord lows up to some pretty gnarly highs, but no matter the scream my focus is control and projection... I am loud. As for influences... My favorite band is In Flames. I really enjoy Parkway Drive, August Burns Red, Unleash the Archers, Ensiferum, (early) All That Remains, Children of Bodom, and Deftones. Obviously, I enjoy most metal, these are just some of the bands that popped in my head. I am not picky. Honestly I have been listening to a lot of instrumental prog metal lately, but that is neither here nor there. Uhmm... I am not sure what else to say really. I guess I can say that I have my own equipment if we need it, and I can drive myself... OH! I feel like it is important to say that I am a no drama kind of person, I tend to be very mellow and soft spoken until I get behind a microphone. But even once behind a microphone I am not rude, that is something I am not down with, my goal is to lift people up through metal, not to push anyone down. Unfortunately I don't have any samples I can send out at the moment, but if you send me a segment of an instrumental track I can record vocals over it and send it back to you within a day or so of me reading the email. Don't worry, it wouldn't be a cell phone video, I have a daw and audio interface, recording over a track wont be a problem. If after all this ramble you are still interested, I look forward to having a conversation and maybe even making some music. -Alexander
