Metal band looking for harsh vocalist

Portland OR

Description

Is it thrash? Is it metalcore? Is it death? Is it prog? Why not all of the above? Guitarist and drummer looking to put together a band that stylistically incorporates a number of different metal genres. We draw our influences from all across the metal spectrum, from thrashy bands like Lamb of God and Hatebreed, melodic death metal bands like Amon Amarth, In Flames, and Mors Principium Est, progressive death metal bands like Obscura and Allegaeon, and djent bands like Periphery and Animals as Leaders. Basically if it's heavy, driving, and at least a little melodic we're into it. We have a collection of some initial material that we have put together on soundcloud that should give you an idea of the stylistic direction we're looking to go. These are all scratch tracks that we hope to refine with our future bandmates: https://soundcloud.com/wesley-griswold-313139331/sets/cl-song-samples/s-DFN2f7nDYZG We're looking for a vocalist with solid harsh/growl vocals, but good clean vox is considered a plus. We're looking for somebody who can help contribute to the songwriting process both by helping to create songs from the ground up and by helping us turn somewhat formed musical ideas into awesome songs. We are also looking for someone who can act as our frontman on-stage, introducing songs and interacting with/hyping up the crowd, so previous experience as a frontman is also a plus for us. We are both currently in our mid-to-late 30s and have careers/family/other life commitments. We expect you to be available for practice at least once a week, and to do a lot of the songwriting outside of that so we can spend practice time focusing on getting a tight sound. If you don't have a home setup to make scratch/reference tracks we can help you get that set up. We ultimately want to gig locally a couple times a month, maybe open for some larger out-of-town acts, and to do a small regional tour once a year or so. Beer/bud friendly but no hard drugs, must be vaccinated. If all this sounds good to you please send us some info about yourself and any material you have showing your ability. Please also include a direct means of contacting you (either personal email or cell number for texting) so that we can avoid messages getting lost in the digital purgatory that is the CL email exchange servers.
