ABOUT

Greetings, we are a band based in Bristol that's just about ready to start gigging, though we are hunting for a talented keyboardist to complete our lineup. Someone who will expand the sound, who can add more dynamics to the music and be a part of the song-writing process as well. We need a musician who is open-minded, is a proficient player and who’ll be keen to experiment a bit. We consider ourselves “progressive metal” in that we all draw on a variety of influences that we like to incorporate into our writing and that we are attempting to make sure every song is different but has the same core, that core being metal.

We are all experienced musicians, having played various festivals and gigs supporting major acts with previous (a couple of us in signed) bands. We want to do something fresh and something that we all enjoyed whilst trying to present something new to the table. Although we describe ourselves as "metal" we have probably got more in common with 70s prog-rock bands than modern metal bands, though we don't compromise on the heavy stuff either.

We are all of a professional mindset and we’re ambitious people wanting to see what we can achieve with this project and we need someone to join us who is committed and equally keen to see where they can take a project like this.

We need someone:
- With good to professional standard equipment
- Who can make regular practices in Bath/Bristol
- Ideally with transportation
- Ideally between the ages of 18 and 30

If you feel that you fit the bill and are interested, then please get in touch. We will be able to send one or two (very) rough demos on request so that you can get an idea of what we play.

Look forward to hearing from you.
