Over the past couple of years I've written and recorded a lot of music for an experimental metal project. Whatever you're imagining it to sound like, it probably doesn't. This isn't your average Gorguts/Dillinger-type skronkfest, nor is it anything close to djent or overwrought symphonic metal. It has much more in common with punk and melodeath, catchy but still ruthlessly bizarre. Now I want to take it live, so I'm looking to put a band together.

At the very least I'll need a drummer, bassist/guitarist, and keyboardist, with myself on vocals and guitar or bass, whichever is left. Ideally though I'd have two guitarists, bass, keys, drums, plus some sort of melodic instrument like a trumpet, and I would primarily do vocals and occasionally play guitar if a third one is necessary. This shit can get pretty dense at times. I'd also really like it if my bandmates had some sort of vocal ability, be it singing, screaming, yodeling, Tibetan throat singing, or other interesting talents to add some variety and layers. I also need you to be willing to not contribute much to the writing process. I have a background in jazz so I'm open to liberal interpretations of parts I've written, especially for bass and drums, and I want to have sections of songs open for improvisation, but as far as riff- and lyric-writing go, 99% of that is going to come from me.

Age, gender, orientation, race, appearance, etc. don't matter. As long as you're 21+ (makes it a lot easier to get shows) and reliable, that's all I need. I don't need you to have pro gear, because I don't and I want it to sound raw and real anyway. 7+ string guitars and 5+ string basses would be helpful, but not strictly necessary. Also let it be known that I don't have a decent practice space. That's something we'd have to work on.

The music for the most part is not actually that hard to play but it will take some practice so a certain level of instrumental skill and dedication would be helpful, but MOSTLY I JUST NEED PEOPLE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN TRYING. Open-mindedness is way more important for this than virtuosic skill, expensive gear, or trve metal-ness. I know this post was long and potentially intimidating and makes me sound like an obsessive, controlling assface, but I assure you you'll find me super chill and easy to work with. This kind of stuff is not going to be everyone's cup of tea, but if it sounds intriguing to you, listen to my demos here and reply if by some miracle you're still into it.
