Oneiric Realm Seeks Bassist[views:45241][posts:222]__________________________________ [May 9,2011 1:56pm - dreadkill ""] ArrowHeadNLI said: Vouching, for me, comes from my ears. And my ears only have Dreaded Silence to go on. Dana filled in with coffin birth for some shows a few months back and handled that. They're a much more technical band than we are, so if you had seen dana with them you'd know he can play more technically challenging basslines. |
| ____________________________________ [May 9,2011 2:16pm - i_am_not_me ""] A shitstorm erupting in a thread AFTER my posts. This is a new one. But I'd say Dana's plenty capable...and what-the-fuck-ever about the pick thing, it's a temp gig. |
| _____________________________ [May 9,2011 4:00pm - BSV ""] oh fuck! This is terrible news, Sean is a awesome player! I love OR but I strongly doubt I'd be able to do it. 3 bands + 2 jobs + 1 girlfriend = staples being wicked busy GOOD LUCK! |
| _______________________________ [May 9,2011 8:03pm - burnsy ""] Whoa, quite a bit has happened in my absence. Thanks for the offer, Dana. We have have found someone to play these shows/possibly continue on with us as a permanent member. I will certainly keep you in mind in the future if we need a fill in, I know you're a good bassist. As far as fingers vs. pick, I offer the following: While I'm generally more impressed with bassists that use their fingers and have previously considered the bass to be meant as a finger picked instrument, my original post saying that we're looking for a dedicated, technically competent bass player does not specify finger picking or using a pick. I expect the new bassist to NOT play what Sean played. He wrote some pretty nasty bass lines, most notably in Cirque de Macabre and Ode to the Sleep Machines, but I expect the next bass player to have a different perspective and therefore write different bass lines. Sean wrote the lyrics for Of Gravity and Decay, and I will be writing new lyrics before we play that song live again/record the track. In response to Aril, I don't agree that we have more of a death metal aesthetic, while I do realize you've basically only heard that 4 song demo. While we most certainly have elements of death metal in our tunes, I've always approached writing from a black metal foundation then expanding into other styles. A lot of our stuff, as most of you are familiar, really isn't even to be considered black metal. Brendan from OT and I have discussed this and he's dubbed us "weird metal." I'm strangely comfortable with that. We're pumped about all the support we've received from you guys and look forward to playing our new material for you. We're continuing to find our sound with each new song we write and we think you'll enjoy them. In closing, as previously stated, we may have found someone to step in to play bass for us but I'd like to keep auditions open a little longer for the sake of healthy competition. Hit me up if you're interested in coming down! Thanks, everybody! |

| ______________________________________ [May 10,2011 11:31am - Beorht-Dana ""] Nice. Glad to hear you found someone. Like I said, I couldn't have really committed to being a permanent member so it's good you have someone with whom that might be a possibility. Keep on kicking ass dudes. |

It's still great. this. it's just typical that anytime a band has anything remotely close to black metal as an influence they are immediately thrown in as just another black metal band. OR always struck me as having Death Metal influences, regardless of whether or not they play constant meedalies and chug chugs, it makes things more interesting than what you might consider to be a cookie cutter vesion of black metal |
| _______________________________________ [May 15,2011 10:11am - ArrowHeadNLI ""] I hear all kinds of shit in OR, but Death Metal really isn't one of em. Keep tuned, sounds like some crazy (in a good way) shit is going on with this band. |
| ________________________________________ [May 15,2011 10:24am - Alexecutioner ""] There isn't much, but I remember watching them at the last show they played at Ralphs and they had one song in particular that had a section that sounded more dm influenced than anything else |

It's still great. Yes, I hear a lot in there. I was talking to Mike, and he told me the different bands that all the members are into - it's a crazy mix of influences. But Mike alone is into more styles and shit than most people I know. It shows in his writing. Evil circus metal for the win! or ArrowHeadNLI said:I hear all kinds of shit in OR, but Death Metal really isn't one of em.

| _______________________________________ [May 15,2011 10:44am - ArrowHeadNLI ""] Nope. I said YES to "None of this should really matter in black metal". I hear a LOT in OR, but death metal isn't really one of em. Sorry you didn't understand me. If you know me, you'd know I don't ever change my mind, even when I'm wrong. I'm a pigheaded motherfucker. |
| _______________________________________ [May 15,2011 10:45am - ArrowHeadNLI ""] P.S. - I do hear DM in the drummer's playing, but that might only be because I know he's into DM. |
| ________________________________________ [May 15,2011 10:48am - Alexecutioner ""] btw, i wasnt posting that in means to attack you, but i was reading through this thread and thought you changed your mind. i may not know you very well but i know you're too opinionated to changed your mind on something like that. so i couldnt help myself, had to point it out haha |

My opinion on our dm influences has already been stated. Hahaha generic realm. We said that pretty close to the inception of the band and haven't heard it since. Autocorrect wins again. |

| _______________________________ [Jun 6,2011 2:29pm - burnsy ""] I would like to OFFICIALLY announce that we have found the new bassist for Oneiric Realm; Kate Hale. I'm sure a lot of you know her, and like me, I'm sure many of you had no idea that she plays bass. She impressed the hell out of us all in her audition and we're looking forward to working with her. Big thanks to Alx_Casket for stepping up and playing our last two shows with us on short notice. We'll be taking a break from shows for a month or two as we solidify the lineup and finish some new material we've been working on. We'll have what we think you'll find to be pleasant surprises upon our return to the stage. Thanks for the continued support. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 6,2011 2:40pm - Alx_Casket ""] Goes without saying, but it was my pleasure playing with you guys and I wish you best of luck with the surprises you have in store. I'll be continuing with Closed Casket as we finish our long-awaited full length, and intend to start playing out with my side project Barren Oak later this year. |
