ABOUT

Honestly not sure how to use this site. It was recommended by a friend of mine after I mentioned that I got the itch to do music again. That being said, I am just going to copy my CL add on here I guess?

I am a vocalist and lyricist looking to start/join a black metal project. I have been a huge fan of the scene and genre for many years, though I do lean more towards symphonic black metal in my tastes.

I have experience being in a band, as well as playing live. I'll admit, I am a bit rusty as I have not screamed or practiced much in the past few years. I have a steady income, reliable transportation, as well as a working Mic and PA (though I'll have to dust it off a bit before using it haha)
I do not have a place to practice sadly, but I have been really missing being in a band and making music as of late.
I am, as I have stated earlier, mainly a Vocalist and Lyricist, but am more than willing to learn a bit of guitar as well to help in the writing process, though I don't see myself playing for the band. In my old band, they said they wished I played guitar to help them understand the music that i heard in my head when I wrote lyrics haha. I believe the creation of a song is something that should involve the whole band, not just the parts by their respective players. If everyone is involved I think the end product is more organic, fluid, and just sounds better as a whole....at least that's how I see it haha

If you are interested in starting a Black or Melodic Death style band email me and we can talk about it. If you are serious maybe we can meet at a bar or get coffee and discuss what we are all looking for musically.

Influences

This is a very long list to be honest, so I am going to try place a few:
Dimmu Borgir, Behemoth, Emperor, Hecate Enthroned, Satyricon, Rotting Christ, Enslaved, Old Man's Child, and I am sure I am forgetting a lot more.

As far as clean vocals I am influenced by, these are just bands I enjoy singing with: Blaqk Audio/AFI, Muse, Evenessence, Dir En Grey, Select few from Tokio Hotel, Depeche Mode, and others.

I also tend to come from a love of Harsh EBM and Aggrotech/Industrial.
