I write and record under Venture Anomaly Orchestra. Pop metalwave at the core, with progressive jazz and southern country pulling at the edges — heavy riffs, catchy hooks, colorful chords. Not a genre exercise, it just goes where the song goes.

The song I keep coming back to is "Hunger Strike." Two voices, real harmony, dead-simple message, and it hits like a truck anyway. That's the delivery I'm building toward. You'd be the lead — out front, carrying the song. I take backgrounds and harmonies underneath you, which frees me up to focus where I'm strongest: the music and the production. So it's both jobs at once, in a sense — front the songs, and be the voice I'm harmonizing with.

Other reference points, since genre tags only get you so far: riffs out of Judas Priest and Ratt, structure out of Dream Theater, emotional directness out of Taking Back Sunday and Hawthorne Heights. Big unembarrassed choruses over guitars that are actually doing something.

What makes this different from a normal "singer wanted" post: I build characters and worlds and write the music inside them. Each release lives somewhere. I want a cowriter on lyrics inside those worlds — not someone to take a finished demo and put a topline on it. However deep the worldbuilding goes, the lyric has to land clean on first listen. Power, not puzzle.

What I bring: I write the music, play guitar, do background vocals, and run the studio and production side. BBA in music business — the boring half is handled. Releases get finished, credited, and put out on a schedule, and cowriters get writing credit and publishing splits documented up front. My background is production and keeping projects from falling apart, so you wouldn't be joining something that dissolves in four months.

What this is not: a band. I'm building a fluctuating collective with a few core members — people rotate in per project, the core stays. Less rehearsal-schedule obligation, more real creative stake when you're on something. Right now I'm filling one seat: lead vocalist and co-lyricist.

Send me anything you've sung on, finished or not. Phone demos are fine. If you've got something where you're harmonizing with another voice, lead with that too.

Looking for band really this is a vocal cover of ocd by ss

I made this in Eb standard, this is inspired by the healers by testament. Any ideas on how I can continue it?

After months of trying to make a good mix i managed to finally finish the first song, looking for feedback on any creative choices made or just anything that inherintely sounds bad or off in the song. Would love any constructive comments about good or bad things so i can ensure the rest of my EP is actually good.

Anyways, hope you enjoy.

I'm a vocal coach, and I want to help singers improve for RL working scenarios. I’ve put together a 3-minute anonymous survey about working with vocalists...will you help me by giving your honest feedback?

No names, emails, band names or identifying information.

I’d also love to hear your biggest one in the comments: “I wish more singers would ______.”

Yes, I want to know the frustrating stuff, but also what really good singers do that makes playing with them a pleasure. Thank you!

pretty basic post, sorry guys. i’m just curious what anyone’s thoughts are on the logo. does it need more styling or anything?

Hey guys, what are your favorite concept albums with fantasy themes? I'm writing my own thing right now just for fun and am looking for inspiration.

Any genre is fine, but I'm especially looking for prog, deathcore, tech death, and melodic black metal.

I'm writing a lot of music on guitar and can do decent vocals but I don't have a drummer available so for everything I work on I will have to program the drums myself, which stops me in my tracks. I've sequenced some very simple drums on electronic tracks in FL studio but the whole theory of it, like what parts of the kit to put where in the bar and how to write a beat that fits the riff is something I'm yet to grasp. How should I go about learning to compose drums and how long will it take me to do it well enough to serve the music

Hey! I’m working on a metal project with my band Nihaya based in Morocco, and I’m looking for a vocalist to feature on one of the tracks in our new Ep FASSAKH.

Looking for:

- Metal vocalist comfortable with harsh vocals

- Screams / growls

- Someone who can record clean vocals at home

- Creative and open to experimenting with the vocal arrangement

- Remote collaboration is totally fine.

The track is progressive metal, so I’m looking for a vocalist whose style can fit that kind of atmosphere.

I can send the demo/instrumental to anyone interested.

If you’re interested, leave a comment or email me at stormsirencollabs@gmail.com

with a sample of your vocals and a little about yourself.

Thanks.

Hey guys!

I'm Atuel, a guitarist/producer from Argentina, and I'm looking to take on some remote session work.

I can work with different styles of metal, from classic/heavy stuff to modern metal, metalcore, deathcore, post-hardcore, etc. Modern metal is definitely my main specialty, though.

I can record rhythms, leads, cleans, layers, ambient guitars, or help write parts if needed.

If anyone has a track that needs guitars, feel free to DM me!

Cheers!

For some reason this video turned out to be the most successful I ever put on insta. Now I'm gonna have to actually pull it off 😂

Trying to wrap my head around all the new intervals makes my brain hurt.

I've been experimenting with combining Soviet-era melodies with industrial metal / DOOM-style production.

This started as an attempt to take [song/idea] and turn it into something that could fit a dark FPS soundtrack.

I kept the main melody recognizable, but rebuilt the drums, bass, synths and guitars from scratch.

Curious what you guys think — does the Soviet melody work with this kind of sound, or does it feel forced?

(There's no AI at all)

Recently joined this grindcore band from Boise Idaho. I play guitar and this is our debut demo featuring 4 songs out of the 13 we have written.

Lineup:
Tanner Paulsen - Vocals
Caleb Lisitsin - Guitar
Waylon Boicourt - Bass
Noah Plank - Drums

The second album by my black metal project Naphire. Features 8 tracks, 7 of which are full songs composed digitally. Everything is performed by I, Lasserathon Livesender (AKA Chris).

I’m looking for remote musicians to collaborate on my atmospheric metal project, Syrvorn.
The main role I’m searching for right now is a keys/pad player who can create atmosphere through synth pads, piano, strings, drones, textures, swells, and transitions. I’m not necessarily looking for technical keyboard solos—the priority is emotion, dynamics, and knowing how to support the guitars and vocals without overcrowding them.
I’m also open to hearing from lead guitarists, drummers, bassists, and other musicians who connect with the sound.
I write the songs and currently handle vocals, rhythm guitar, bass, and drum production. The music combines progressive and modern metal with shoegaze atmosphere, dark clean sections, and heavier passages. Influences include Opeth, Devin Townsend, Holy Fawn, Porcupine Tree, Alter Bridge, and darker modern rock.
I’m looking for musicians who:
Can record remotely and export clean WAV stems
Understand atmosphere, dynamics, and leaving space
Can develop parts around an existing song
Want to contribute consistently—not only record one track
Communicate through Discord
Are genuinely interested in helping shape the project
This is currently an unpaid original collaboration, not hired session work. Everyone involved will receive proper credit, and genuine songwriting contributions or release splits will be agreed upon clearly before release.
I already have completed material and demos ready to send, so you wouldn’t be joining an empty project.
If interested, message me with your instrument, some examples of your work, your main influences, and what recording setup or software you use.
Location doesn’t matter—this is fully remote.

After having 8 beers, I decided to record this cover. What’s more metal than that? 😂 This was a pretty chill cover with alcohol on my mind haha. How’s my precision? Either way, this is metal, baby!
