I'm looking to put together a metal band with originality being a key component. I don't want to head into a band thinking "I want to sound like _______". Ideally I would like to get a group of open minded musicians together who are willing to meld our ideas to create something unique. It just needs to fall into the realm of what most would call metal. I would like to create something new and not join a pre-existing band.

I play guitar and my prior band had me playing fast and technical melodic death metal. By no means do I want my next project to sound the same. My musical tastes range greatly so I'd love to throw some ideas around with individuals who have the right 'fit'.

I have guitar and growls covered at the moment (yes, this band will have growling but it doesn't mean that other singers should not apply.... like I said, pretty much anything goes if it feels right). If you think you'd be up for this, regardless of what instrument you play, e-mail me at [email protected] and I'll get right back to you. Play a violin? cello? flute? keys? I'll entertain anything haha.

The things I ask for in anyone applying are:
- regardless of how crazy technical you are, you must be solid in your playing (you don't need to be an insane solo monster or anything)
- willing to contribute ideas for the music/shows/anything
- Must have a professional attitude (not hold up to the 'musician' stereotype of being a flake. Also, have a care about the band's ability to entertain in a live setting)
- Own proper gear
- Be willing to contribute if money needs to be spent to rent a jam space (I don't have one of my own)

I don't care about your age as long as you can get into a bar (I'm 27). I'm in this for the satisfaction of playing live music. No delusions of finding fame. If you want to know I can play, just listen to any Reaver track on youtube.

If for some reason things don't work out, please don;t take offense. A proper fit is one of the most important things in a band and sometimes, for whatever reason, it isn't there.

Hope to hear from some of you! - Fri, 20 Jul 2012 1:58pm Edited: Fri, 20 Jul 2012 2:00pm
