Warning to bandcamp users

This is a first for me and I've been releasing music on bandcamp since 2021. It's a pretty obvious scam but it wouldn't be hard to click on the link without thinking twice.

Experienced metal vocalist looking for a new project

4 Upvotes

I grew up listening to bands like Children of Bodom, At the Gates, and Darkest Hour to name a few. I was also in a band called At the Throne of Judgment and had the amazing opportunity to release a full album and tour with bands like Born of Osiris, Winds of Plague, and The Devil Wears Prada.

I kicked off a few things here and there with old band buddies, but hey, life happens. I love writing and the creative process and have been inspired by all the older bands coming back and just going for it.

I’m looking to get back into writing metal and I’ve found it’s not an easy thing to find fellow metalheads who want to nerd out and create.

Any advice on other channels or avenues I could tap into would be much appreciated. Cincinnati has a limited scene as of late. I’ve gone to local shows without much luck.

Totally cool with remote hangs. I’ve got my own mic and my vocals are primed and ready to conjure doom.

Discussion Do you guys write down tabs for your songs as you go, or just take some general notes or just go completely off of memory?

I’m listening back to some old stuff I recorded and realizing I don’t remember how to play it or even what tuning I was in. I’m sure I can figure it out given time, but I’ve decided to start taking notes as I write songs.

Looking for a vocalist for a remote metal project
I’m looking for a vocalist to collaborate remotely on my project, A Nice Place to Die — instrumental ambient metal with dark atmospheres, heavy riffs and black metal influences.
Looking for someone with a distinctive voice who’s interested in adding vocals and helping shape the sound.
If you’re interested, drop me a DM with some samples of your work!

Secondary guitar for drop-C rec

1 Upvotes

Hi all! Not a beginner but looking for wider experience/advice on a guitar that I can keep around in drop-C tuning, but it probably won’t be my primary guitar. I already have a Kiesel Vader 6 that I primarily play, and a partscaster Strat with a really nice HB in the bridge that I can reach for, as well as a 7 string and an 8 string I’m borrowing so long as I eventually refinish it for the owner. I find that every once and awhile I want to learn riffs or songs that were written in drop-C or drop C# on guitar and I don’t particularly like playing drop-D tuning and using a transpose / pitch effect to get there. The 7 string can go low enough but a lot of the “tricks“ of using open strings, etc, don’t always translate. My particular needs are that I can’t do thinner necks, which has ruled out almost all of Ibanez, Jackson, and others for me. due to several left hand injuries, I just don’t have the ability to play thinner necks or thicker strings (which also rules out baritones for me, which sucks.) 7 string seems ok because for most basic chords or power chords, I’m not fretting all the strings at a baritone gauge, if that makes sense.

The guitar I’ve got on my list to try is the PRS SE Mark Holcomb, but beyond that I’ve not found any others that I can try locally. I meant to find Strandberg Boden Essential to try locally, but GC doesn’t have them here. I’m not sure that I want to spend the ~$1500 to step up to a B-stock Strandberg n2.6. (Even though that would have a 30 day return policy.) Any other recommendations for a hard tail 6 string without a thinner/shredder neck, that I might be able to find locally to try in stores?

edit: ideally hard tail / fixed bridge, 24 frets, 25.5” scale. Likely HH.

Hey guys!

It's been a while since I wrote a song. If you want to take a listen and maybe give me some critique on the songwriting and the production, it would be nice.

Cheers!

Caul of Silence- The Damned Approach

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Been working on another song called “The Damned Approach” and I’m pretty fuckin excited about how it’s turning out. It’s gonna be the opening track for a concept album I’m writing that’s partly inspired by Destiny. This ones theme is the cabal invasion of the last city.

I posted a teaser of it but it didn’t really get much traction, so I figured I’d try posting the full thing this time. I feel like there’s just too much going on throughout these songs for a short clip to really capture what I’m going for.

Still looking to get some actual guitars tracked, but I’m really happy with how this one’s coming along. Would love to hear what you guys think.

Hope you guys like fast breakdowns!
