James Lamb!

DRUMMER NEEDED!!!

Todesbonden is looking for a full time drummer to join the crew. We have female vocals, violin, flute, guitar (heavy and acoustic styles), bass guitar and keys all we need now is a permanent drummer to complete the lineup.

We are looking for someone who is easy to get along with, reliable, and talented.

We have a practice space in Orion Studios in Baltimore, so personal practice space is not necessary.

The style of music that we play has influences from World, Celtic, metal, rock, classical and etherial styles. The final result has been compared to Loreena McKennitt, The Gathering, Dead Can Dance and Cirque du Soleil with a metal edge.

Please don�t hesitate to contact us at todesbonden@gmail.com
