Genre-blending black metal band seeking second guitarist

Emeryville CA

Description

We’re Threnodist, an Oakland-based metal act that’s rooted in genre-blending black metal. We’re currently seeking a second guitar player to round out our lineup, and we’d love for it to be you! Our influences include but, are not limited to: Deafheaven, Alcest, Wolves In The Throne Room, Katatonia, Between the Buried & Me, The Contortionist, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and more! We’ve just finished recording our first demo and are gearing up into songwriting mode for our first album. We would ideally like to play gigs and tour at some point, we like and prefer to write as a collective, and have every member’s voice being held in equal regard among us. This is a project rooted in love and passion, both for music as well as other people, and as such, we would like to be upfront about a few things. What we are looking for in a second guitarist: Our songs are written for seven string guitars, and we are looking for someone who has one and is comfortable playing it. Knowledge of music theory is a huge plus, but not a requirement! We are based in and practice in West Oakland/Emeryville and would like someone local and able to commute. We’re looking for someone dedicated to practicing and writing regularly, and who can commit to the schedule we would like to keep. Our collective values the following: We are firmly anti-fascist and anti-racist. You should share similar political ideals of reform and social justice. We are extremely LGBTQIAA+ friendly. No TERFs/Transphobes. It is immediately disqualifying. Trans women are women. Trans men are men. We believe in science, understand the state of the global pandemic, and have actively taken steps to protect ourselves and others around us. Please be fully vaccinated, no exceptions. We really look forward to hearing from you and playing some cool songs together!
