Cathexis

BASS PLAYERS TAKE HEED
We are a new project, called Cathexis, with former members of 12 Ton Sledge, a new vocalist and a new direction. We are in the process of writing an album and are about half way done. This means we will NOT be playing any 12 Ton Sledge material in this project and we are musically moving in a different direction than we were in 12 Ton. We know what we are looking for in a person to fill the bass position, and if you DON’T meet our requirements, PLEASE….don’t waste our time and we won’t waste yours. If you DO meet these requirements, then send us an email and let’s talk metal....
WHAT WE NEED OF A PERSON
1. You must be at least 21 and preferably not older than 35.
2. You must have reliable transportation.
3. You must be willing to practice (with band) at least 2 times a week.
4. You must have your own equipment….that can compete with 100 watt guitar half stacks.
5. You must have a PRO-attitude. This means you must be a responsible person, can work well with others, etc., and in general be very serious about this project.
6. You must be willing to put $65 a month towards jam room rent.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR IN A BASSIST
1. Dedicated BASS player….not a failed guitarist looking to jam.
2. Heavy, aggressive, good counter rhythm skills, but also willing to follow the guitars type attitude, with multi-range/style capabilities. Pick and/or finger playing welcome. This means we are NOT looking for a STRAIGHT UP death, black, grindcore, hardcore, metalcore, deathcore, etc. style. We want someone with capabilities of ALL these styles and more. NO EMO. Someone with knowledge of music theory is preferred, but not required.
3. We want someone who can write their own parts, BUT is willing to accept ideas and sometimes whole songs from others in the band. We want everyone to be happy with what they are doing, for their part of the whole, but creativity and songwriting comes first with no egos attached.
