Adam Ames + Musician in Brooklyn, NY

SEEKING

ABOUT

I am the guitarist and co-songwriter for MZZTR, a “Deranged” alt-metal band from Brooklyn, NY.

Here's our blurb: Their music focuses on themes related to feminism, queer rights, sex, beauty, family and the current state of the world. They’re known for their powerful, socially conscious lyrics which address important issues and reflect the current political and cultural climate. The band is thriving in the current "slow burn apocalypse hellscape."

I'm working with an amazing singer/lyricist (Bandmix username: Mizzter) and a talented bassist. We already have a bunch of songs and are constantly writing more. Looking for other musicians (drummer, keyboardist) for collaboration.

Music combines alt-metal with some doom and industrial elements in aggressive, hook-driven songs.

We rehearse (once a week), play out (once a month or so) and plan to record.

All songs on my Bandmix page are demos with programmed drums (except Kill Ya which has live drums)
