Drummer looking for online collaborations - complex/dark/extreme metal

Hi, 

I'm a drummer looking for recording projects with experienced musicians, preferably in the more complex or avant-garde branches of music. Originality is a prime concern. PM or reply if interested. 

Some samples can be streamed here: https://imperiumhorde.bandcamp.com/

or here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1y9A-U15ommLnMsZIsiLFfXWsH9r13pGU

and a video here: https://youtu.be/sDVjGi_w9tM

Thanks

I know that the term is vague, but I meant that a bit of freedom should be allowed in the composition of tracks. Basically, I'm not looking for something like amon amarth or arch enemey. Are you looking for a drummer?

Sorry for taking a long time to respond.  What bands are you drawing inspiration from?  I would be interested in doing a collaboration, however, I am very busy at this time in my life - perhaps we could work together at some point in the future?

I'm not a composer, but some bands I've enjoyed a lot are Odraza, Gorguts, and Boreworm. That doesn't mean that your compositions need sound anything like what these bands play, though. You can hear some of my recordings here: https://imperiumhorde.bandcamp.com/https://waytoend.bandcamp.com/. My most recent recording is a discontinued project: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1y9A-U15ommLnMsZIsiLFfXWsH9r13pGU. If you're interested, we can exchange emails.

Here is a demo that I put out a little while ago:

I am not sure that my music/guitar playing necessarily align with the sound that you are going for.  Bands that I am influenced by include Burzum, Paysage d'Hiver, and various industrial and noise albums (such as Steve Roden's "Forms of Paper").  Like I said above, I really do not have enough time in my life right now to put the amount of effort that I would want into a project.  However, if you would still be interested in collaborating at some point in the future, I would very much be interested in doing so.

But your demo and the other artists (not burzum) have no use for drums, and music in the vein of burzum isn't something I would want to do. Assuming you have a place for percussion in the style of what I showed you, then we can give it a go, once you have time.

I think that our musical interests might be too dissimilar for us to create a cohesive result that we would both really like.  On top of that, I think that the lack of time on my part would make collaboration very difficult.  Hopefully you will be able to find someone to work with who shares a more similar musical vision.  If you record any more music, be sure to share it!

    • Whichever tier of thrash metal you consigned Sacred Reich back in the 80's/90's they still had their moments.  "Ignorance" & "Surf Nicaragura" did a great job of establishing the band, whereas "The American Way" just got a little to comfortable and accessible (the title track grates nowadays) for my ears.  A couple more records better left forgotten about and then nothing for twenty three years.  2019 alone has now seen three releases from Phil Rind and co.  A live EP, a split EP with Iron Reagan and now a full length.

      Notable addition to the ranks for the current throng of releases is former Machine Head sticksman, Dave McClean.  Love or hate Machine Head, McClean is a more than capable drummer and his presence here is felt from the off with the opening and title track kicking things off with some real gusto.  'Divide & Conquer' and 'Salvation' muddle along nicely, never quite reaching any quality that would make my balls tingle but comfortable enough.  The looming build to 'Manifest Reality' delivers a real punch when the song starts proper.  Frenzied riffs and drums with shots of lead work to hold the interest.


      There's a problem already though (I know, I am such a fucking mood hoover).  I don't like Phil's vocals.  I never had if I am being honest.  The aggression to them seems a little forced even when they are at their best on tracks like 'Manifest Reality'.  When he tries to sing it just feels weak though ('Salvation') and tracks lose real punch.  Give him a riffy number such as 'Killing Machine' and he is fine with the Reich engine (probably a poor choice of phrase) up in sixth gear.  For every thrashy riff there's a fair share of rock edged, local bar act rhythm aplenty too.

      Let's not poo-poo proceedings though, because overall I actually enjoy "Awakening".  It is stacked full of catchy riffs that are sticky on the old ears.  Whilst not as raw as perhaps the - brilliant - artwork suggests with its black and white, tattoo flash sheet style design it is enjoyable enough.  Yes, 'Death Valley' & 'Something to Believe' have no place here, saved only by Arnett and Radziwill's lead work but 'Revolution' is a fucking 80's thrash heyday throwback to the extent that if you turn the TV on during it you might catch a new episode of Cheers!

    • Full length number 19 from overkill certainly makes a splash in the energy stakes, I mean there's some modern thrash bands that are a good two decades younger than Overkill who can only hope to achieve the levels of spunk that New Jersey's finest produce here.  That in itself is an achievement, for a band of Overkill's stature and reputation to be able to still sound relevant four decades into their career is no mean feat.  Even in the albums weaker moments it never gets redundant and the energy levels remain high.  There's a real sense of a band in a state of some renewed vigour, helped in no small part by the addition of Jason Bittner on drums.  The former Flotsam & Jetsam skinsman is nothing short of superb throughout "The Wings of War" and seems to have squeezed a little extra out of the rest of his peers.

      The album kicks of with a great build to opening track "Last Man Standing" and for the first 4 tracks of the album the Overkill crew stomp, bash and groove their way to a solid level of consistency.  The lead work is of particular note and Blitz sounds as sneery and scathing as ever.  The album is well produced and mixed too with all parts of the thrash machine audible as the five piece hammer away at your skull with the usual blend of chugging riffs and infectious anthems.  


      There are weak moments as mentioned but they are more a victim of how good the strong tracks are.  In it's own right "Distortion" is a solid enough - if not slightly varied a journey from the last offering - but it just doesn't stand up well against a "Bat Shit Crazy" or a "Head of a Pin".  As the album draws to a close you get the increasing impression that the last few tracks are rescued really by some great solos and stomping skin work which is a shame because trimming of a couple of tracks may have made this less obvious. 

      4/5
