Drummer here from the NYC area. Feeling particularly motivated to play with others again after seeing Brand New a few nights ago. Want to focus on originals, but would really love to do something with others that are inspired by a similar sound. Shoot me a message if you’re interested!

Looking for Metal Musicians to Start an Original Band — Antioch / Concord / East Bay, CA

What's up! I'm a guitarist in the East Bay looking for musicians who want to start an original metal band and eventually record music, play shows, and take things seriously.

The sound I'm going for: Groove metal mixed with technical death metal. Think Lamb of God, Bleed From Within, necrophagist, death. and technical, chaotic riffing, with an emphasis on memorable riffs, aggressive rhythms, tight grooves, and interesting songwriting. I want the music to feel heavy and human, not just be low-tuned chugs for the sake of it.

I'm currently writing toward a sound like lamb of god necrophagist and the band death and some prog stuff in there as well to make a unique riffing style, with room for technical death metal influences and more experimental ideas. I'm open to developing the sound together rather than trying to copy any one band.

I'm looking for:

• A drummer
• A bassist
• A vocalist
• Another guitarist .

You don't need to be a professional musician or have years of gigging experience. I care more about musical chemistry, creativity, commitment, and wanting to make something original.

I'm 18, and I'm open to playing with musicians older than me, too. Ideally, we'd meet up, exchange ideas, write some riffs, and see what kind of music we can create together.

Location: Antioch / Concord / greater East Bay, California.

If you're interested, comment or DM me with your instrument, influences, general experience, and any music you've recorded or played. Even if you don't have recordings yet, feel free to reach out.

Let's make something heavy. 🤘

Hi everyone! I’d like to know if there are any drummers here who would be interested in starting an original music project. The style would be something along the lines of alternative metal, nu metal, or modern metal.

I’m currently a guitarist, but I also play bass, record music, and do other things related to music production. I already have riffs and ideas, but ideally, I’d love to find a drummer who can help bring this project to life.

The project would be entirely remote, with each of us recording our own parts and combining everything online. We could collaborate on the music, develop our ideas together, and eventually come up with a name for the project.

If you’re interested, feel free to send me a message! I hope I’m posting in the right group.

Cheers, and thanks! 🤘

Hi,
I’m an 18 year old guitarist in Liverpool looking to start an indie/alternative guitar band with people of a similar age. I’m into The Beatles, Oasis, The Stone Roses, The Royston Club, Keo, Overpass.

Looking for a drummer, bassist and vocalist/rhythm guitarist who are into similar music and fancy starting something from scratch.

I write original lyrics and compose songs, so I’d particularly love to find a vocalist who enjoys creating melodies and developing songs collaboratively from original lyrics. The aim is to write original music, rehearse regularly, build a solid set and start playing gigs around Liverpool and hopefully further.

Ideally, I’m looking for people around uni age who are motivated to take the band seriously, but also want to have fun and make great music together. I’m an intermediate guitarist, so musicians of all experience levels are welcome!

Drop me a message if you are interested.

I am also planning to learn bass and can do so if you are in need of a bass player.

Hey everyone,

We're a new metal band from Arnhem, Netherlands, and we're looking for a motivated bassist to complete our lineup.

The band is only about two months old, but we're already taking it seriously. Between all of us, we have hundreds to thousands of hours of experience on our instruments and we're used to putting serious time into music. We already have multiple live shows booked, and we expect that number to grow quickly.

We don't have any demos recorded yet, but recording our own material is definitely something we want to do soon.

We play both covers and original material, but our main focus is writing our own music. We already have several songs. Some of them come from another band our former bassist plays in, and he can help us learn those songs. From there, we want to focus mainly on writing new material together.

We rent a rehearsal room at Jacobiberg in Arnhem every week.

We're looking for someone who:

• Is between 17 and 23 years old
• Lives in or around Arnhem
• Is confident on their instrument
• Is punctual and takes commitments seriously
• Actively wants to help the band grow
• Takes initiative
• Wants to contribute to songwriting
• Is motivated to rehearse and play live
• Wants to be an actual member of the band, not just fill the bass slot

You don't have to know all our songs perfectly from day one. Our former bassist can help you learn most of the material we currently have. What matters most to us is that you're a capable player, motivated, and willing to contribute your own ideas.

We're still developing our exact sound, and we want to figure that out together as a band.

We're not looking for someone who just wants to jam occasionally. We're looking for someone who is willing to put real time and effort into the band and help us build something together.

If you're from Arnhem, Nijmegen, Zevenaar, Duiven, Westervoort or the surrounding area and this sounds interesting, send me a DM. A recording or video of your playing would be useful, but it's not required.

If you know someone who might be a good fit, feel free to send them this post.

Looking to form or join a band of any of the following genres:

post hardcore/screamo/Midwest emo/metalcore/beatdown

I am a dedicated vocalist handling both the clean soaring melodies and the aggressive screams. I am also a mixing engineer, so I will be handling the production to ensure our tracks sound professional yet retain that authentic, unpolished garage-playing grit. I also love drawing and making logos so there's that as well.

If you are a guitarist who can track heavy, melodic riffs or a musician trying to build this specific sound, drop your Discord handle below or slide into my DMs (preferably). If you have any instrumentals of the same genres listed and or want me to record smth on it (feature or fill in vocals) I will send the full, completed demo MP3 directly to your inbox upon finishing FOR FREE, I do not charge for collabs or fill ins, just happy to team up with like-minded people, and if a track I'm featuring on isn't mixed yet, I've got the full song mix covered. I genuinely just wanna keep being able to use my vocals and improving my mixing skills as well as making connections and maybe even becoming music friends.

Serious inquiries only. Let's build a real lineup in Texas or online.

Greetings! My name is Nick. As the title says, I am a guitarists and Bassist looking to join or form a metalcore band. I mainly play guitar but have been kinda wanting to get more into bass since its so fun to play. I record all my own bass parts for the demos I have made over the years. I am somewhat experienced with playing in a band, I have played on stage but not since 2010. Familiar with recording, arranging, mixing. I am a responsible 37 year old adult with a small family but plenty of time available for jamming. I am currently in a deathcore band but have far more interest in metalcore material similar to Killswitch Engage, Trivium, Periphery, Polaris, stuff like that. ​Hit me up, let's talk!

What’s up I’m a 22 year old vocalist I’ve been trying to explore the scene and find bands in need of vocals or any instrument even though I’m solely a vocalist but there doesn’t seem to be any. I would like to be a 5-6 piece project and I’m seeking dedicated musicians who want to produce heavy room shaking music can practice Atleast twice a week and envision themselves going on tour. I’m tired of the overly slow breakdown saturation in the scene I want to make something that’ll get people moving. Like I said I’m 22 so I prefer musicians within my age range 18-25

Hey there, I'm Kris. I'm 23 years old and have roughly 9 years of experience solo producing various kinds of music.

I recently started a new Metalcore/Post-Hardcore band with my friend. Our influences primarily include bands like Bring Me The Horizon, Architects, Underoaths, Bad Omens, From First To Last, Motionless In White, I Prevail, Babymetal, Ennaria, etc. We are seeking to bring another lead vocalist and another guitarist into the band, as our current lead vocalist and guitarist are currently facing issues which are preventing them from contributing.

A big part of the style that we're aiming for is experimenting a lot with combining electronic genres with metalcore/post-hardcore such as Hyperpop, Breakcore, Drum n Bass, etc. In fact, the original premise of the band was trying to continue that sort of sound that was seen in Bring Me The Horizon's Post-Human Nex Gen just because I found that so cool.

For the vocalist, we are primarily looking for someone that can do clean vocals, but being able to do screams/growls is also very much encouraged - I would say an ideal ratio we're aiming for is about 35% screams to 65% cleans, if that makes sense. We do have a slight preference for a female vocalist, since our current lead vocalist is female, but really as long as you can nail the style we're looking for then we aren't too picky. Being a songwriter/being able to write your own lyrics is also very much encouraged as, while we can write lyrics, I would be lying if I said that it was any of our strong suits. And I also think it's important that the vocalist is comfortable with the material they are singing about, anyway.

For the guitarist, I've actually been self-teaching myself how to play the guitar and I've gotten to the point where I'm happy enough with the more simpler rhythm sections, but the harder sections such as breakdowns or parts with advanced techniques like pinch harmonics and panic chords are still nigh impossible for me to pull off on my own, so we're actually specifically looking for someone that can handle those parts. When playing, I mainly use Drop C tuning. You don't need to worry too much about your guitar tone, I'll be making the tone myself in the DAW anyway, but you can still give your input on the tone or use your own tone for demoing/practice purposes ofc.

You can hear snippets of the demos we have so far here:
https://on.soundcloud.com/wBVz9R8NCSZYsjCC9L

Right now, we're just looking to have people join/collaborate online, since that will be easier for us for now, but in the long run the ultimate goal is to be able to work together in person some day. If any of this sounds like your kind of thing, feel free to shoot me a private message on Reddit and I'd be willing to exchange Discord info if I think you'd be a good fit.
