Paul Ver Izor + Musician in Weirton, WV

SEEKING

ABOUT

Played with a couple small band back in the college days. Since then been a solo recording musician. I write a lot of dark, probably angry and possibly philosophical songs. I'm not much for stereotyping or categorizing myself; but I'd say I'm somewhere between industrial metal and black metal, styles with a touch of doom and sludge mixed in.

I don't want to be in a cover band and definitely not into any christian music, etc.

I currently publish music under the band name Flesh Mechanism, feel free to check it out on pretty much all streaming services and hit me up on b4ndc4mp.

I am mostly a guitarist and somewhat a vocalist in certain scenarios, but not very versatile in the latter. I also play acceptable bass and do some decent amateur mixing. You'll have to listen to my music to see what I mean, I do all the writing, playing, recording, and production on my stuff.

I'm not a party guy, those days are behind me and my liver took enough of a beating. I want serious musicians who actually give a sh*t about creating something unique and inspiring.

Otherwise, I'm a pretty ok person, I work a day job in the tech field and have my own place with a sort of cobbled together studio.

Also, I have to get along with you, I can't do the pink floyd thing and I'm not professionally trained or a super technical guitarist nor am I much for the modern 'djent' stuff.

I'm looking to form a small gigging band in the vein of my Flesh Mechanism project, and maybe another sort of joke metal band, feel free to ask for details. I want to create something against the grain and original, not interested in exclusively covering songs, but do enjoy 'reinterpreting' music.

I don't play country, jazz, blues, or really anything cheerfully/pop-esque.
