Art Metal + Musician in Utica, MS

SEEKING

ABOUT

Lead vocalist, lead guitarist, and orch composer trying to form a 'ethereal' (Christian) metal band (whether it be 80's, neoclassical, prog, rock/metal, or new metal, just no death metal), soft or hard rock, or even a small jazz-fusion rock trio. I also wouldn't mind linking up with someone who wants to write orchestral comps together; you can hear some of them below. I've 40+ yrs experience; have good equipment; was member of Paradox in 89'; have worked with Joseph Glean in the production of Midnight Minuet, and have CGI skills if that's needed for promotions. Age 48 in my profile pic. I'm single and free to practice/gig a lot. No drugs or drama. I'm also willing to relocate and/or tour.

Note: The guitar/vox sample was taken from my everyday practice sessions, played on a cheapo amp at low volume (hence the reason for the pick 'clicks', but it's enough to give a good idea of my style; will upload something better later).
