We (KAPTIV) are still on the search for a singer! We have had several people approach us, talk to us, and even try out for us, but we have still not found the right person for us. We don't want to appoint a singer until we know we have EXACTLY the right person for the job!
...That being said, we are still searching high and low for a new singer! We are looking for a person with a STRONG voice and would prefer a higher range singer, but that is by no means required. The ability to scream/sing is a DEFINITE plus but again not required, as we can already scream if need be so singing is the more important element. Charisma and the ability to command the stage/crowd is a must, as we all bring it 110% at every show we play. We are looking for somebody that already has singing equipment (PA, Mic, etc.) with transportation, and reliability is a must. We practice 1-2 nights a week so making practice sessions is a must. No egos, no attitudes. We want someone that not only meets the requirements "on paper" but somebody we can get along with outside the band, we are all brothers in this band and we want someone that we can connect with on that same level. WE ARE OPEN TO EITHER MALE OR FEMALE SINGERS!
To help you guys out, we'll tell you who some of our favorite vocalists are, so you can get a clear idea of what we're looking for here:
Travis Neal/Tommy Cummings (Divine Heresy)
Matthew Barlow/Tim Owens (Iced Earth)
Stu Block (Into Eternity)
Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden)
Robb Flynn (Machine Head)
Mikkel Sandager (Mercenary)
Warrel Dane (Nevermore)
Tarja Turunen (Nightwish)
Mikael Åkerfeldt (Opeth)
Kelly Carpenter/Carlos Zema (Outworld)
Phil Anselmo (Pantera)
Christian Älvestam (Scar Symmetry)
Lajon Witherspoon (Sevendust)
Russel Allen (Symphony X)
We are not saying you have to sound EXACTLY like these guys, but if your vocal style is not similar to the vocalists/bands we listed, you are not what we are looking for.
If you're interested please send us a message, leave us a comment, or just get a hold of us somehow! We will ask if you can record vocals over one of our songs if we e-mail it to you, or if you would be able to come to a practice and audition live. We hope to hear from you guys soon, and to catch you at the next show! Keep it metal!
