Guitarist/BackupVox/Songwriter seeking original metal band

Gainesville FL

Description

Hey, I am a 31 yr old guitarist, backup vocalist and songwriter seeking a metal band that does original work. I'm not interested in cover bands. I have a small home studio with some pretty decent equipment and often record songs that I've made and have samples if requested. I'm not a total shredder. I certainly play more of rhythm but can play lead as well to an extent. I'm more melodically minded than sheer death sounds. (though those are good in places too) My favorite artists would be (in no particular order): Amon Amarth, Ghost, Behemoth, Sabaton, DIO, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Eluveite, Unleash the Archers, and Blind Guardian. My gear as follows: Randall Diavlo RD45 Head (Custom tubes for clean bottom) Marshall 1960A 4x12 Main Guitar: Schecter CR-6 + a bunch of random pedals. I used to gig a lot in my early 20s and played with a somewhat successful local band on the regional level. I've played over 50 or more gigs around the country. We opened for Bowling for Soup (this was a pop punk band) and played the Palladium and House of Blues in Mass. So I'm not a greenhorn but its been a while =P. I'm highly dedicated and only interested in writing original music. I expect dedication in return. My location is a little south of Gainesville but will travel to around 50 or so minutes if need be. Feel free to reach out.
