London Based Thrash Metal Band Need Singer!!!

Postby Thrashlikeits86 on Tue Feb 28, 2012 7:40 pm

Hey guys...im from the band Bangover and we are a London based thrash metal band, currently recording our first EP.

Unfortunately our singer decided to join the serbian circus and marry a postbox, so we now need someone to fill his relatively small shoes.

There are currently 3 of us - guitar, bass and drums. Im the guitarist (names Jack y'all) and im based in Kingston-upon-Thames. We practice at Survival Studios in North Acton and also (less frequently) The Peel in Kingston. Our influences include Slayer, Evile, Exodus, Municipal Waste, Gama Bomb, Overkill, Anthrax...usual shit

I work in Brighton 5 days a week as I have sold my soul to the corporate world so I only get weekends to play and we usually practice once every 2/3 weeks.

We are looking for someone who has a good sense of humour and is laid back, but at the same time is reliable as we cant practice as often as most bands (pretty idealistic I know). Its also vital that you can actually sing - we arnt a death metal band where you can just shout like your shitting your pants or trying to scare a child - the bands i mention above are examples of what we want (not really singing as such I know, but you get what I mean). Also, ive been laying a fuck load of guitar tracks down on the EP weve been doing so if you can play guitar as well thats a MASSIVE bonus.

We also want someone from the age of about 17-23 as thats near enough to our current age range. I think ive written too much but yeah we are really pleased with the way our EPs going and we wanna make sure that the vocals are spot on

Here is a short preview of one of our tracks. We have more available if you want to listen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtWcw9hx ... e=youtu.be

Nah none so far :(

Me and Fionn are gonna switch the vocals during songs, like verse each, chorus together sort of thing. Im hoping it comes out ok on the EP.

I thought finding a vocalist would be easy - so many people fancy themselves as a front man, but not in this case. I put an ad on gumtree and put it all over facebook as well.

Im no good at playin thrash and singing but ill have to adapt!
