Guitarist Seeking Bass Player and Drummer
I'm a guitarist looking to start a multi-dimensional band. By that I just mean that I'm not into playing just one or two genres in which I have to fit myself into a creative box with a strict label such as metalcore. So I'm looking for a like minded bass player and drummer. My biggest influences are Led Zeppelin, Opeth, Mastodon, In Flames (Pre-Sounds of a Playground Fading), The Absence, Before The Dawn, Corrosion of Conformity, Amon Amarth, Arch Enemy, Black Sabbath, Down, The Sword, Naxatras, Wolfheart, Tool and the Duskfall (to name some off the top of my head). I'm also majorly influenced by Ancient Folk styles such as Celtic, English, Scandinavian, Indian, Egyptian and Arabic. Acoustic music is a huge element in my style and I think it's something that adds a lot of depth and timelessness to a band. The melodies heard in those folk styles can be heard as the roots in many of my heavier songs as well. Similar to Swedish/melodic death metal. Those Swedish melodies are very similar to an instrumental melody you'd hear in a Scandinavian or Celtic folk song. This is probably why Swedish is my favorite death metal subgenre. I've combined elements of these styles and bands into my own style. I have tons of material of both electric and acoustic songs; some songs have both acoustic and electric tracks. I've only gone through a small portion of my archives and I have at least 5 albums worth of songs. Last thing, Some people read my ads and somehow think my directness or wording is pompous or whatever, but I'd have to say that you won't meet a more easy going, understanding musician with as small of an ego as I do (I have no ego). I'm 26 and I just know what I'm looking for. I hope to hear back from some of you soon.
