Hey everyone, thank you for your interest. I am really excited for this game. I hope you all are too!<br/><br/>Alright, so everybody we have a few particulars that we need to establish, and I would like to get everyone's thoughts. And if there is anything I might be missing that we should hit on? Please let me know!<br/><br/>I. Genre(s), and what are they about? Like what is their hook? What do they talk about? Subject matter, etc.<br/>II. Name of the band?<br/>III. How did they form?<br/>IV. Starting Point?<br/><br/><strong>My thoughts.</strong><br/><br/>I. I don't know, there are some commonalities as far as the band's influences. What are you guys thinking? Since as far as subject matter and the like? I feel like at least from a lyrical standpoint, my dude's stuff would focus on reality and he would write a mixture of socio-political rants, nihilistic material, mental illness and darker explorations of self. Vocally, he'd be all over the place kind of like Mike Patton. He'd do death screams, and growls, shouting and melodic singing with some rapping but overall it is pretty aggressive.<br/><br/>II. Some ones I have are Lunatic Calm.<br/>Chaos A.D.<br/>Rx4 - Refuse. Resist. Rebel. Revolt.<br/>Deathless Light<br/>SIHKIH or SIHRIH - Servants In Heaven Kings In Hell or Servants In Heaven Royalty In Hell<br/>Violent By Design<br/>Hesitation Marks<br/><br/>III. I am thinking that just because of how diverse the group is, in backgrounds and what not, having 2-3 of the members know each other and playing with each other would work best. They have a history established, a foundation. If they find someone they like, said person might be a package deal with another member of the group. They could have put out ads, looked online, or gone to shows as methods to pick up others. I know with some of the groups I have done stuff with, they tend to get rid of people quick because everyone isn't on the same page. Sometimes you could have a really awesome band but there is just one weak element.<br/><br/>IV. I would say start with the group already almost completely formed and missing 1-2 members, and recruiting them initially. Or everyone is already in the group, and they are doing local shows, doing planning sessions and really trying to hone in on what is going to be their sound and their image while prepping an EP to try to get label notice.
