ABOUT

Christian, female-fronted, all-original, metal band. We are not, by any means, a "preachy" band (we play clubs and bars and firmly believe in being a living example.) When we say metal, think more of the traditional metal and not the hardcore stuff most bands are doing. We are looking for a keyboardist who can also do some background vocals/harmonies. Looking for one who can have fun, get along, not be uptight and is committed.

We are looking to take our sound/music to the next level. Wanting to add more of a Nightwish/Kamelot/Within Temptation/Xandria feel to it. So keyboards are a must. Sequencing/samples and such would be an added plus.

We are into the stage show portion of performing as well with stage wear and such. We believe in giving the audience an entertaining experience, the whole package as it were. Anyone can get up on stage in t-shirts and jeans but it takes a performer to put on a show. The music and musicianship is by far the most important but we feel that now days an entertaining show helps bring people out to see live music.

We don't gig out all that often since we all have families and other responsibilities but we take what we do seriously and strive to be the best we can when we do play a show. We enjoy the writing process just as much as the performing.

We have the freedom to give and take input on one another's instrument and feel our music is better for it. None of us have any ego issues and we aren't looking for any either. While we do work hard on our music and our show, it's something we love doing and we keep it fun. Age really isn't important to us, whether you are 18 or 81, if you are committed and love the musical style, we'll take a look!
