If you are a bass player looking for a band you can reply to this add, but please be patient with us cause we really need a guitar player first, unless you express that you actually want to be involved in a project like this. If that's the case I will get back to you promptly.
If you're totally into Metallica, Tool, Slipknot, Pantera, Marylin Manson, Lamb of god, Kill Switch Engage, and other such MTV safe "metal" bands, please do not reply to this add.
We like some of those bands too, but none of them are anywhere near influential to us.
This project is totally Underground/artistic/ Extreme Metal.
If you are a shredding, scale-running, soloist, please, do not reply to this add.
That ability is great cause it makes you a better guitar player all around, but we don't want to play typical versre chorus verse chorus bridge solo chorus end songs.
We need a songwriter not a "lead guitarist".
We are absolutely not interested in rappers, emo, screamo, mallcore, hardcore, metalcore, rapcore, nu-metal, rap metal, Death Metal, Thrash, ska, reggae, or funk at all.
However, Classical, Jazz, and old school Punk influences are a plus.
Please keep in mind we are setting out to make Black/Grind not Black Metal, or Death/Grind.
If you can't figure out the difference, please, do not reply to this add.

We don't care if you're sober, but be warned, we are not.
If you are not sober, you must be able to handle it.
No rookies. I'm not a baby sitter and practise is for practise not getting wasted. Drinking and smoking is fine, but you should still be coherent and able to play.
ABSOLUTELY NO JUNKIES OR CRACKHEADS!!!!!!
For musical influences, the basic well we want to draw from consists of, but is not limited to Carpathian Forest, Enslaved, Immortal, Weakling, Rotten Sound, Soilent Green, Goat Whore, Super Joint Ritual, Motorhead, Old Grandad, and Dead Horse.
If you do not listen to, or aren't at least familiar with, at least 8 of these bands, not including Motorhead, please, do not reply to this add.
My name is Adam (Drakk), the vocalist from the former SF Black Metal outfit Artificium Sanguis.
To audition my vocal and lyrical abilities go to
www.myspace.com/artificiumsanguis
Artificium Sanguis is no longer together and I'm trying to form a new band.
I have a new drummer.
I'm looking for a guitar player with similar vision to mine.
My drummer and I are a package deal so if you're just looking to poach a drummer, please, do not reply to this add.
We want to mix Black Metal, Grindcore, and Stoner Rock together leaving much room for abstraction and exploration.
Basically we want to be a more interesting Grind band.
If you've read this whole thing and never felt like I was asking you not to reply then, please, reply to this add.
