Attitude

Looking to form or join a band in the Greenville area. I've played in a fistful of metal bands and cover bands as a bassist, and the last several years as a guitarist. I've recorded 4 albums as well, not counting demos. The most recent band I'm in is Decade of Deceit. Our album is on all the streaming services. The material I've been writing for a rock project has mostly a goth rock-type dark vibe, gets plenty heavy, with light orchestrated or synthy elements. Some songs might lean a little Punk Rock, Goth Rock, 80's, Metal, whatever sounds good. I'm also up for a more a metal project since I've been doing that for long time.

Influences

My influences are pretty wide. Hard rock and punk bands I've been listening to lately include Type O Negative, Ghost, Motorjesus, Blood Command, Sentenced, old Volbeat, The Hellfreaks, Calabreese, Starbenders, The Other, Meg Myers, AFI, Misfits, Rise Against, We Are Harlot, Heaven's Basement, Gaslight Anthem, Poisonblack, The Cult, Moonspell, HIM, The 69 Eyes, and a bunch more. As far as the metal stuff I've played it's been mostly on the Swedish side of Melodic Death Metal like The Crown, In Flames, Insomnium, Soilwork, and Dark Tranquillity.
