sumerianrecords...
Andy Cizek deserves the spot. The dude has more views than the actual instrumental and any other audition. He put heart and soul into his audition. Volumes passed up a good vocalist. Don't make the same mistake Sumerian.
@Deimonk have you listened to it ? Kid
either him or justin bonitz definitely
No screaming...hmm
Andy Cizek you've got my vote bro
Andy Cizek Mine too, you're awesome man.
I really like Wvnder but I think this would fit you perfect!!
If you're dropping an audition I may as well give up haha
You will win bro! ;)
Go instrumental ! Without vocalist is so fucking awesome
You certainly have a point. This sounds really good
Yes ! I'm sure he will bring us clean vocals ahah
Youn Nishimura it made me think of CHON, very slightly. It's not math rock but it's ambient and very pretty. They'd be fine without one but I won't be upset if they add one, as long as they're good
Any form of boy band cleans will ruin this, I could see it with a mid centered singing style, but idk this is little bit Jason Richardson in terms of tones, I say fuck it use synth and choruses instead.
Youn Nishimura polyphia is my favorite instrumental
Well, this is an interesting thing for a record label to do. Very cool.
Thats what i'm saying! Love Sumerian
higler420 after Andy Cizek won they put a copyright strike on everyone's entry except Andy's so they can't make money from it. Bunch of fucking scumbags Sumerian is
A lot of things have I learned while watching the auditions for this song:
-People's creativity and lyric writing.
-People's thought processes in rhythms and melodies.
-People's vocal range.
-People who need more vocal practice.
-People who have thousands worth of equipment/software but lack the talent.
-People who have talent but don't have good quality/equipment.
-People who write lyrics about love or their ex girl/boy friend. Which is very cliche.
Yeah lol 😂 yeah yeah man 👨🏼 I got it it was was
hands down Andy Cizek has the best audition... he's an amazing vocalist.
Tempting, but I sound like a dying walrus.
Maybe Dying Walrus is the band's name.
I'd listen to that band
Perfect! You'll sound like all the other bands
I fuckin lol'd!
iSoappp bahahaha same man
Shit I kinda want this band to stay instrumental. We need more talented instrumental bands like Caspian, CHON, Polyphia, and Animals As Leaders
Check out Earthside.
Matt Owens I totally agree
+Buttersnips C-137 yeah definitely!
Polyphia*
INTERVALS !!
If only I was more comfortable with singing as I am with screaming. This does sound amazing and excited to see this lineup.
Alic Segura same I'm not that confident so I can't sing in front of anyone
really tempted to do this for shits and giggles because I know all bands want nowadays is someone in the tenor 1 vocal range while I myself sing bass 2 T-T
you know, i've always thought there is a lack of bass singers in metal, this track sound great with one!
Ya know I wasn't sure at first but you've given me a little more confidence to attempt, friend!
Nate Bassili I'm a Bari-tenor and still giving it a shot.
Nate Bassili Do it man the world needs more Baratone singers!
Nate Bassili im a baritone
I can see Ashe taking a crack at this. Sort of has a bit of a voices from the fuselage kind of vibe to it with a bit of widek thrown in.
"No screaming"
I think I am going to love this.
I'm getting some Periphery and Being as an Ocean vibes from this... and if not, some Underoath too.
Sounds like something Misha would've uploaded to his SoundClick some years ago.
Certainly sounds like something Misha and Mark would have wrote up through inspiration of Sean Price of ERRA.
Could we just keep this band instrumental, they sound beautiful
Why No Screaming? FUCK! I could've done this
screaming would've ruined the mood for this song.
TheOnlyAbomination not in the slightest. I know a few moments where it'd work perfect.
+Brett Orr a few moments. I'm talking about the entire song.
Growls > Clean vocals all the time. This would be 1000x better with a death metal vocalist
yeah ! like a more doom oriented project like Enshine for exemple or the defunct Slumber :) would be awesome !
I know a good vocalist. he's a free agent right now. been in 3 bands in only 3 years! Denis Shaforostov
awwwe this is soooo fucking good! if only i was good at singing lol
Some of the best so far in my opinion
Austin Bentley
Tony Maue
Andy Cizek
Devin Barrus
Johnny VanDyke
All are amazing. Reply with some recommendations. I can't get enough of these auditions
Thumb up for your comment! I like Kevin Fletcher and Nick Hall. Not so into Austin Bentley and Tony Maue sound, especially cause of the heavy post production.
Even if i could sound a little bit inappropriate, can i ask you to check out mine audition too? I really like to receive a critical opinion from someone who really like this competition.
Alessandro Medri my vocals were recorded through a phone. no post production no nothing. all raw
Tony Maue Tony Maue i'm sorry Tony, my mistake. I've confused your video with another one. I've just check yours, and it's absolutely live and i like it very much! Good luck and good music!
Alessandro Medri thank you dude!1
Matt Turkington!
I've never seen a record label themselves put out a request for a band member lol, interesting idea to get things going.
I hope when this project releases music, they also release the instrumental version.
I'm sure as hell the vocalist that gets picked will be amazing and will be great, but this track is so good instrumentally. I'd love to appreciate it both with vocals and without.
Denis from AA, lol. it will be fourth time on sumerian
Nicholas Shtyrlov this sounds more melodic mate.
There is one more Requirement they are not sharing; You must be a practising witch.
Dennis' voice does not feel appropriate for this type of music.
he would drop out of it and ask for money xD
Nicholas Shtyrlov his voice wouldn't fit
this is the exact sound I've been looking for in a band holy moly already working on a melody/lyrics
Devin Barrus has to win this competition for humanity. Other competitors are great, especially Andy Cizek, but Devin's lyrics, vocal melodies, structures, and falsettos easily took this competition. Sumerian would be making a huge mistake if they didn't choose him. I would be a little bummed if they chose not to pick him over a technicality like him editing his vocals, as common as that is these days.
I agree he is one of the best in the competition, and personally my favorite over Andy.
My favorite completely raw video submission so far is Jared Henderson's The Occultress. Great mix of lyrics and passion, if that is what you are looking for.
Calling it. Jason Richardson is in this.
lol what makes you think that?
no, sounds nothing like him tbh. plus he isn't in a sumerian band right now. also it sounds a lot like lee mckinney. and those two wont go within 200 feet of each other.
***** no, he is a solo artist right now, formerly in all shall perish, born of osiris and chelsea grin. he just released his first album which was probably the best album of 2016
Sounds beautiful. Good job. It could remain instrumental.
I dont scream all the time, in fact I do it very little but putting these kinds of restrictions on a singer force them to think about boundaries to write in instead of flowing naturally and bringing their boundless vision to fruition and bringing the song to its highest level of exellency.
I would do this because I'm a musician but my vocals are still in the works. good luck on whoever gets this
andy cizek by far the best
Getting Palms vibes from this, Chino would go great over the top of this
Would love some talented screaming over this also
Thomas Giles over this would also be epic
Maybe new project from intervals guitarist since intervals is just him alone now.. surely sounds amazing.. and oh how i wish they would have accepted screaming.. i could have put some brutal magic on this track.. i may just do it for fun and see what people think.. aye?! Awesome track!
I feel the music way more than anything(in general) so doesn't matter who does vocals,I'll still be searching for the instrumental tracks.
Damn this is good to listen even without vocals!
This is probably CHON searching for a singer.
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO HEARD CHON IN THIS
My thoughts exactly ahaa:p
but they have always been instrumental haven't they?
sounds nothing like chon guys its just instrumental yall need to chill
who cares who it is all we know is it none of US
Already have most of the song written lyrically. This is a beautiful song and I'm having so much fun writing to it.
Jacob Murphy Let me know when you post it!
Shit. I literally just stumbled across this from watching No Cover. There's still a really homey feeling. Local feeling. Had the opportunity to play the Worchester Paladium in Mass thanks to these folks back in 2014. Great times, good stuff 👍
i wish they would of gaven i time date as to when auditions end im currently working on mine i got shitty equipment just gonna use my phones shitty camera and audio and hope for the best and upload next week. wish me luck
I'm doing the same haha
I really want to do this but I'm just too young and I want to do music so bad and the full control over lyrics and melody killed me. I want it so bad
Trevor Hurd it's worth a shot bud, the worst that can happen is you get rejected.
best case scenario either they keep your name for future projects (ie when you grow up) or sign you.
do eet
+Raybeze Thanks for the support, maybe I could try it out
Give it a shot, if you have the talent anything can happen no matter the age!
If you are passionate about something, there is no time like the present. In fact, the younger you are, the better; people are always looking for fresh talent, especially in music.
You want it so bad that you'll sell your soul?
this is perfect as is. keep it instrumental and allow the music to reach individuals on their own level. sometimes vocals/lyrics can complicate.
I don't understand how a tryout video gets dislikes, seems like people are just itching to hate on everything these days. Anyways, good luck to everyone trying out! Super excited to hear what people come up with.
i heard dinnis stoff is now open for the position...😂
Did anyone ever win this thing?
Best auditions for this by far were Andy Cizek with Current and Justin Bonitz/Hungry Lights with Needless. Although Justin didn't actually enter his into the competition.
For what it's worth from some random fan of the label: search SUMERIAN VOCAL AUDITION - Andy Cizek
Go watch his, then potentially wrap this audition. I want the album with him on it. Full package with lyricism, melodic intuition and vocal chops.
I'm still going to record one, but that's more for fun, because with guys like Andy in the running, I really feel like someone of his ease and caliber should be selected.
Just my two cents. Solid track; thanks for keeping a generation of musicians inspired by allowing us to really explore with songs of this quality. Cheers!
Could definitely use a mix of cleans and screaming. Idk about all cleans...
I think it can sound good with rasp in parts personally, not so much screams
+Tyler Stowe th-cam.com/video/L9J9aAz-sQo/w-d-xo.html
I am imagining Lukas Magyar singing to this song.
YES, i was thinking the same thing.
this is my favorite sound !!
very good.
there's like a million ways to go about that chorus. Really smart idea to do this.
I can sing but I also want to scream, this is the opportunity I've been waiting for but I'm not sure if it's worth not screaming.
Davin Carboni having the same issue but I'm thinking about layering in some screams in the back low key
Just try it, man. You have nothing to lose
Best of luck! This is incredible.. What's Marcus Bridge up to?
Ha! my imaginary voice manifested in a Bridge esque one to!
His already ruined one band. Give us a break
EE NO TA NA probably molesting porcupines
+Buttersnips C-137 I find him boring. He lacks an identity. Take a guy like Daniel Tompkins or Eliot Coleman for example, these guys have their own unique sound, you know it's them when you hear them. Marcus doesn't have that. He sounds like he came from a pop punk cover band.
Its funny you say that cos he was in a pop punk band before Northlane. But to each their own, i rather be in a band with people i like then people who are just 'talented.'
The Austin Bently audition was the best I heard so far, imo.
This is seriously so beautiful. As much as I would love to hear a voice that can compliment this, I wouldn't mind this being instrumental. So beautiful and atmosphere. Love it. In a way, reminds me of my band. Can't wait to see what becomes of this project. I see this becoming a favorite! That bass break reminds me of Intervals - The Shape of Colour.
my guess is this is the final form of Plintervals.
Yes this stuff reminds me ALOT of plini...
this sounds nothing like Plini wtf guys
Sebastian Ponce Even tho it does...
I hope
kinda has that vibe, but neither of them are signed to Sumerian
No screaming? Well what in the hell, why does that even have to matter? I'll do cleans/screams to this song and could care less if it pertains to the category described. If you feel something DO IT!
Joshua Epperson
Sumerian: vocal additions
me:sweet
Sumerian: no screams
me: fuck
Joshua Epperson probably because they already have a harsh vocalist spot filled.
There should just be one vocalist with balls and strut to match with the instrumental. Periphery for example, just pure bliss. With one vocalist it shows how strong the core is.
Okay but periphery's worst attribute is Spencer. If they have a solid harsh vocalist that does okay cleans but doesn't go with their vision then it's totally up to them to fill it with someone that matches better.
Like I would really love too win. But I can honestly say that whoever wins they deserve it. Still gonna persue music, will never stop. this is what I want to do and am passionate about. and if you don't win either, don't give up. Keep trying and one day you'll succeed.
Keep it instrumental, and good luck.
Personally. I see no need for a vocalist here. That was beautiful.
Does the artwork remind anyone of the Kingdom of Zeal in Chrono Trigger?
Holy shit, it does, nice catch dude. lol
Search no further, my voice can soothe souls
Would have loved to give it a try. The instrumental is so beautiful. I strongly feel like screaming/singing would be perfect. Not one over the other. I am better at screaming and can sing only low notes. But I definitely see why they'd put emphasy on singing. Very few vocalists that would pull it off without screaming. If you ask me, I think Adrian (Ex Northlane) would do fantastic here.
only if I could sing. but I can scream lmao
ikr
Like for real lmao but I don't have a band which saddens me.
I mean I know how you feel, even though I'm still a beginner at growling and screaming stuff
phil druyer man. thats all it needs
fuck yes
FUCK YES EVERYTHING NEEDS PHILL DRUYER
littleredguitars2 Jesus. Christ. Yes.
OMG! Fuck yeah!
True
I've watched 4 of the tryouts so far and they literally all sound the same and have the same style. This is an awesome thing though and I hope it turns out well. Definitely looking forward to see what happens!
I vote for Andy C!!!
Just keep this instrumental
Why not just hire Denis Stoff... He is out of a job right now.
Because he doesn't need to be in every fucking band lol. And as talented as Denis is, all he does is get in bands for a short while then leaves them...
Jared Wilkerson its an internet joke at this point its not serious haha
I feel like his voice is not suited for this type of music.
Because his a terrible singer..
And from what we've heard a terrible person too.
This is probably the coolest thing, a huge label like Sumerian doing some crowdsourcing for something like this.
I really want to do this, I've toured since I was 16 and still doing it. But all I have dreamed about was watching the many faces sing along to songs I have written. But I know now and days you can be good and still never make it. All I want is to do so before it's to late!
a perfect job for Jared Dines
Andrés Quintero "no screaming"
Buttersnips C-137 jajajaja
jeez lol
He is also able to sing. :)
+preyfan lets not get that way lol
If anyone is curious to see what it looks like to play this song on the drums I uploaded a drum cover of this track on my channel! Check it!
Even though this is an older video I definaty wanna try this tune.
Scott Stapp's voice is perfect for this.
Is the audition open to people anywhere in the world???
Í think so it doesn't say that it isn't.
Great song, but I personally think it would sound better exclusively with screams
sounds so beautiful
OH I see haha.. well crap bro! I am definately going to throw something down!!! wow.. beatiful!
My audition is on my page if anyone would like to check it out. it is a live take. Hope you enjoy.
Re-did it with better video quality. Hope you guys dig it!
I'd love to try but there's no way I'll accomplish since I'm only 15...
heyo it's Jordy you never know, mate. it's better to try 😎👉🏾👉🏾
heyo it's Jordy not with that attitude you won't!
I don't know... i don't think anyone would want an annoying 15 year old brat running around on tour tbh.
I'd love to try too. But I can't sing :p
It's not that I can't sing... the band is probably with people over 19 they wouldn't choose me anyway what's the point of trying?
Currently writing lyrics to this. I'll try to get the video in today
if only they were accepting screamers I could scream my heart out to this I downloaded and whipped up some lyrics and it sounded so amazing im sad
Every audition so far has been shit expect drewsif stalins
Jayhee Napalm lmao so true
+literally trash Thanks, mines shit for sure Jk. Nah, just didnt have the best things to record with lol
Jayhee Napalm Have you heard Jake Barnes it was really good
He's pretty good. I'm rerecording my audition and resending it. I would love to win this thing. And I think I could with my redo. It's waaaaay better than the one I have now
Brian Storm's cover is pretty good
Keep this shit instrumental!
Ryan Michael yes! stop always trying to force vocals everyone!
This is awesome even without vocals! If there is really need for a vocalist i think the best fit would be someone with really rasp, manly and powerful voice. That would be banger.
This is ERRA as fuck, I love it
Why does it sounds a little bit like Widek? :0
lol little? sounds alot like widek
I would love to but I'm 14 and I'm pretty sure I could tour but life is a bitch
You can't even drive yet, you're still in high school.. Haha I don't think a 14 year old could handle being on tour. Sorry it's not as easy as you think it is. Especially when you're at a smaller level.
Exoplanets I know that touring isn't easy I can barley make videos for my channel rn that's why I'm not going to try out for this at the moment.
13 :3
+SAMTHEDARKPADRE id still post it though. It might get you some exposure or something. It couldn't hurt.
Exoplanets True
Can't wait to hear vocals for this very emotional instrumental calls for an amazing vocalist
Definitely gonna enter!
post-rock on sumerian, lol.
few seconds out, already banned in Germany because of GEMA. rofl God Bless TH-camrUnblocker!
been 3 weeks in germanny this year, and damn GEMA is a pain in the fucking ass
I feel so sorry for you guys. That is absolutely ridiculous :(
HOLY SHIT! This day is going to go in history. TH-cam and GEMA ended their claim and ALL videos are able for Germany from this day on! ToT
I couldnt believe it neither
it'll be cool to see what this becomes!
"New Project" I am very intrigued now...
i´v watched the contest videos and everyone signs like a crying emo this coulb be cool with a voice of a man not kids
What happened to this?
The band is In Motive
I'm not going to try out, but i wanted to say the music is really good, and good luck to everyone who is trying and out and i hope the best ;')
I'm going to give this a shot! no harm in trying
I'm definitely going to give this a try. "Realize that real eyes are watching over us"
Would never do something like this, but I'm totally trying this. Let's see where it takes me.
Awesome! Considering doing this, how cool is the opportunity! Wicked +SummerianRecords!!
Damn... whoever ends up in the band, it's probably going to be a new favourite of mine, as I've been loving all the auditions I've heard.
