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:

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.
