New Metal Project Looking for Musicians

Hi there, I'm Berq from Dusseldorf. I'm the guitarist, main songwriter and the lyricist of project Chromatic Orb. First things first, this ad is for a NEW BAND and not for the Chromatic Orb project.



Chromatic Orb is a metal project that I've been working on since early 2023 with a couple of musician friends of mine including the singer. Two singles released, one single ready and will be released on August. Only with the debut single it reached 18K streams, 200 followers and more than 1000 saves+playlist adds.



In terms of style, the first 3 songs are focused on exploration rather than following a strict sound. The direction I want for future is a mixture between Metalcore, Melodic Death Metal and a little bit prog on top :) Definitely more modern especially compared to the debut single. To name some influences; Killswitch Engage, Soilwork/In Flames and Opeth (especially the acoustic side of it) with a modern twist.



The initial idea was to record an EP with lyrics based on my D&D campaign, just for fun. The project was never meant to and was NOT A POWER METAL project, only lyrics were dark fantasy themed. But then the response and the songs turned out to be great and since the lyrics and the promo strategy was not suitable for a modern metal project, I decided to transform the project into a NEW BAND. Re-recording of the songs with new lyrical themes and more modern instrumentations will be on the table.



I'm 35 years old and have a job but in terms of ambition limit is the sky. I'm fully committed to this project and the goal is clear: going full-pro and quit my job :) So you know the deal and the steps should be taken towards the full-pro level, I'm all-in! The musicians I've been working with are not from DE and we had to part ways.



For all:

- No gender preference as long as the musician satify other criteria.

- Düsseldorf area would be great but I'm mobile and open to remote rehearsal via Elk etc.

- I'm open to working with younger musicians (I might prefer even!) but I have no strict age restriction.



For SINGER:

- Should be able to deliver clean and fry/scream vocals. Growls are nice to have, not a must.

- For reference, The Battle for Nia-Koro of course, Killswitch Engage and last but not least Soilwork.

- Should be able to write his/her own vocal lines.



For DRUMMER & BASS:

- Prog level technical skills are not a must but should be comfortable with fast tempos.



So if you are interested reach out to me!

cheers
