Sinking Silence

Attitude

I am a guitarist, drummer, bassist and audio engineer starting a band from the ground up. Right now, I’m in the process of writing an EP and looking for musicians who are passionate about heavy, dynamic music to help bring these songs to life. My goal is to craft a sound that blends intensity, atmosphere, and emotion, drawing from my influences while creating something unique. Whether you’re a vocalist, guitarist, drummer, bassist, or another instrumentalist with a creative vision, I’d love to collaborate and shape this project into something powerful and fully realized.

Influences

My influences draw from a mix of heavy, dynamic, and emotionally charged bands, including Spiritbox, Bring Me the Horizon, Bad Omens, Norma Jean, Of Mice & Men, and Defeater. I’m inspired by Spiritbox’s haunting atmospheres and versatile vocal work, as well as Bring Me the Horizon’s ability to blend crushing heaviness with infectious melodies. Bad Omens’ dark, cinematic approach and Norma Jean’s raw, chaotic intensity both shape my sound, while Of Mice & Men’s balance of aggression and melody resonates deeply with me. Defeater’s storytelling and emotional depth add another layer of influence, pushing me to write with honesty and intensity.

Equipment

I write and produce all my music in Pro Tools, shaping my sound with a combination of raw energy and modern production techniques. For guitars, I record through an EVH 5150, paired with my Ibanez Gio, delivering a mix of crushing riffs and melodic textures. My instrumentals are built using ANA 2, allowing me to craft atmospheric and electronic elements that add depth to the music. Drums are tracked using a Simmons electronic kit, then fine-tuned with Steven Slate Drums to achieve a polished yet aggressive tone. This setup gives me the flexibility to experiment while maintaining a powerful, professional sound.
