Our Boston-based band(no name yet) needs a stickman! No big requirements but you must...
-Be 18+
-Have some idea of what you're doing, obviously
-Have interest in Thrash, Melodic/Technical Death, Prog, etc.
-Be able to play at varying speeds. Blasting is not a requirement, but good to keep in mind
-Have a loose/mostly empty schedule(if you have a family or an all-day job, this might not be for you)
-Be willing to bash and comment on society/religion lyrically. Not super anti-christ or anarchist, but a mild dose of dissent will do.
For more info, shoot an email to myself or Zach Cannon. Our emails respectively are starfox849@gmail.com and thecannon@hotmail.com. I would recommend Zach since he's the man with the plan, equipment, and is a Berklee student. Name and logos ideas are also a plus, since we have neither as is. Thanks in advance!

I'm not a drummer so I can't help you.. but you might want to help yourself and list some bands you're influenced by so people can get a better idea of what'd they'd possibly be playing if they join your band.

Ah thanks Nekro. We're influenced by BtBaM, Lamb Of God, The Faceless, Necrophagist, The Red Chord, Children Of Bodom(and all their ilk), the major thrash bands of course, Dying Fetus, Judas Priest, etc. etc. So basically influence stew, but if you're a fan of the drumming style of any of those bands or any similar, then you're our target demographic.

Similar influences to mine. It's strange with those influences that you don't want blasting. But i sort-of understand why, if you don't REQUIRE blasting, then you'll have a lot more people trying out.

good luck man, beware of drummers that "can't/won't blast"

Fuck you man he played at The Channel.

To elaborate on this statement: a lot of drummer who claim that they "won't" blast, are in effect saying "I can't blast, and therefore I'm going to act like i don't want to anyways."
Now i don't think that songs NEED blasts to sound good, or that drummers that don't blast suck, it's more that in the type of music you described there inevitably will be parts that BEG for a blast over them.

[Aug 27,2010 10:07am - ouchdrummer ""]

true my drummer for Hard No. 9 can blast like a motherfucker but really isnt interested in metal.
[Aug 27,2010 10:19am - arktouros ""]
because he is, how you say, "good drummer"
[Aug 27,2010 10:26am - RichHorror ""]
He must want to actually make money like some kind of jerk.

Blasting isn't a want nor need atm, it's a possibility. Hell we don't have a name or logo yet(juggling The Genovese and Gentrify Or Die atm) We don't REQUIRE, but it's good for a backup.

Those are a few logo ideas I've come up with, there's tons more but these are among the best.

Hate to be a bumper, but it's kinda urgent! We don't want to be a drum machine band! We're not at Anaal Nathrakh's level!

I am semi-interested. Have any demo material?
[Aug 30,2010 4:51pm - Woah!_Shut_It_Down! ""]
None at all. Myself and Zach have yet to actually meet up seeing as he's coming back to Boston September 6th. As far as demo stuff is concerned, look up our influences and see if that tells you about how we'd like to sound XD

sick grim tree logo

Um, logo in the middle looks alright. Scratch out the upside down cross. Dime a dozen khed. Do it.
Paging MarkFuckingRichards for logoz....

The upside-down cross on the last one? What do you suggest I replace it with? That's all I had going for that one. 8^( Or if you're talking about the first one then I could do that since I was kindasorta ripping off Devian but I'm sure they wouldn't mind.
[Sep 2,2010 4:13pm - FuckIsMySignature ""]
you should start a Crusades themed band. Write songs about killing in the name of Christ. that should piss some people off.
[Sep 2,2010 4:26pm - Woah!_Shut_It_Down! ""]
That certainly is a possibility, yes. I've got a bunch of song ideas written in my phone's notepad, and they're all set to rail against society's imperfections. Zach's written up quite a bit of stuff, so we're itching to go right now. You wouldn't happen to know any drummers needing work would you?
[Sep 2,2010 4:32pm - FuckIsMySignature ""]
not really. i'll send any candidates i come across your way though.
[Sep 2,2010 5:21pm - Woah!_Shut_It_Down! ""]
Thanks bro. Means a lot. :LOVE:
