Metalcore band Seeks Drummer and Second Guitarist
Professional Melodic Metalcore Band currently seeking Drummer and Guitarist.
So far there is myself Guitarist and Tommy Screaming Vox and a bassist, We're all aged Late 20's- Early 30's. Every single one of us has masses of previous experience playing live/touring/Big festivals etc.. Me and the Vocalist also used to play in a signed Metalcore band a few years back along side some well known bands, All the correct contacts are still there to really take it somewhere, And with with what we have already so far we have absolutely zero doubts. You can find us on Facebook , Insta and TikTok @BlackenTheSkiesUk
We have some material already written however this will only be sent to the correct candidate to skip all the time wasting and copyright.
~Must Haves~
A professional mindset but also be willing to have a laugh and take banter, We're a bunch of really easy going people and we just want to make it work and have fun.
Professional grade equipment for both Guitarist and Drummer. We're going to be spending a lot of the time in both the studio and rehearsal spaces for a professionally sounding finalised product!
Guitarist will need to have the gear to be able to play in different tunings , Modeller/Pitch shifting or 6-7 string guitars. Most of the songs at the moment are in Drop B/Drop G# With one as low as F.. So you will need the gear!
Competent ability , Drummer must be extremely confident with double kick
And Guitarist will be required to play both Rhythm and lead parts to a high standard with the style of music.
Experience in playing to Click tracks and use of IEM's , All the Guitars are currently set up MIDI Automated with the backing tracks via Axe Fx. So having a modeller capable is a massive bonus! It's not essential to have this , Although it would be preferred as we're mainly running this route for on stage performance and quicker load ins/outs with everything rack mounted.
Experience in DAW's is also a massive massive bonus! So far everything produced has been at my home studio , So if you have access to firing across stems and thing's you've written this helps MASSIVELY!
Mode of Transport and location, Ideally be able to drive or at least have a family Member/Partner able to run you around. We had a previous drummer who did not drive and also lived a fair distance and unfortunately it just did not work out, It's a lot of gear to move around and understandably as a drummer public transport isn't ideal! We understand some people have huge dedications to bands we get it! And we have also been guilty in the past of travelling well into 2 hours down the road for a project , Expensive journeys, ULEZ charges etc etc. But eventually it wears and it's just not ideal. So just be realistic with it and make sure it's a reasonable distance that you are happy to commit to on a weekly basis.(Hence posting in counties of a commutable distance)
We all try to help out as much as possible lift sharing etc, And i will be purchasing a van in the near future due to the nature of my job.
Financially stable and realistic, You will be required to prepare to invest towards the band weather that be Music Videos , PR , Merchandise , Gear etc etc.. All costs will be spread between us all. And just being realistic with other commitments , We all work weekly jobs but we find the time and treat it as a second job to really try and get it somewhere. Unfortunately we've all dealt with previous members who haven't worked , Cant drive and also struggle to find time. We don't want to be dealing with that anymore, We really need some individuals with their heads screwed into reality.
Please forward playthrough videos , Or any previous band's/work the more info you give the easier the auditioning process will be.
If you do not meet the requirements mentioned above please don't message me. It wastes my time and your own time.. We're not just going to make exceptions for extremely talented players if you cant get to us and don't have the equipment required you're no use to us I'm afraid.
