ABOUT

Very serious Metalcore band Beyond Dishonor (/beyonddishonor, .beyonddishonor, Sirius/XM ch. 42 circulation) is looking to audition bass players for an interim position that could be permanent, depending on the person and the fit. 90 minute auditions will be held in their private studio in Hamilton NJ 08619 on weds nights starting on September 2nd. Feel free to check their credentials, see who they have played with, what they bring to the table - this is not your typical flaky metal band.

CRTERIA:
-those interested must meet the following criteria

1. must have their own transportation - size does not matter as we travel with a full trailer, but you need to be able to get to and from practice
2. Must have reliable gear - backup cabs and heads are helpful as we tend to leave the stage gear in the trailer and everyone else uses backup gear for practice
3. Must have a source of reliable income - that means a job, for you drinkers
4. preferably OVER 21, but we can wiggle on this if you are really adept at your instrument
5. must have stage experience - if you have little time on stage in front of large numbers of people, please, we are not the band to cut your teeth. We play with MANY national acts, so it is not uncommon to be in front of 500-1500 people.
5. must have a sense of humor - if you are Joe Serious-Metalhead, you will not like us, our fans will not like you, everything will pretty much be horrible and their will be much lamenting. We write songs about back fat, marshmellow men that drink, and The Shining - and no one seems to mind except for the other bands who insist on songs about dragons, getting in fights, serial killers and dragons that fight with serial killers.
6. Travel flexibility - we travel around the tri-state and beyond for shows and you will need to have flexibility in your ability to travel for a few days. Also, we will be touring late this year/early next year for probably a week at a time.

AUDITION STRUCTURE:
-The audition will be a loose 90 minute time frame where we will ask you play two of our older songs, your choice. Let us know which ones (they are on ) and we will email you the final mastered versions for you to work with. The goal is not to be perfect, but to be competent and dynamic.
-we will also spend some time free-jamming, and we would look to you to bring something to the table here, a riff, a concept, a pattern...
-finally, we will spend some time talking and drinking fine craft beers. The you will leave, uncomfortably, and we will continue to drink and talk about you and your potentially silly haircut.

Please respond to this ad or email metalorever. Anyone who comes through between now and Sept 25 and actually makes it through the 90 minutes will get a free ticket to see us with All Shall Perish, Born of Osiris and Caliban.

Good luck and cheers! BD
