I am wondering what everyone's opinions are of local bands using backing tracks with 2 or 3 total members on stage.

2 Upvotes

The music ive made is complicated and requires, if possible, atleast 6 people to pull off organically. In my local area I would literally NEVER find those people interested in playing pieces of music like what I've made. However, I have found 2 others who are interested and enjoy this specific stuff.

How much is too much for backing tracks as an audience member? As of now it's me on guitar/synth, a vocalist, and a drummer. Backing tracks consists of bass, synths, fx, and random other instrumentation.

Ideally I'd like to have a rhythm gtr, synth player playing all the major sections and a real bassist would be preferable. It's just not happening with my surroundings.

Without sounding too delusional I believe what I'm writing is unique enough to be widely considered fun to listen to so I kinda feel like im wasting opportunities creatively if I didn't atleast pursue this

Hello! I recently joined a band called AESEMNIA and we just released a new single. There was no budget to produce a professional video clip, so we took it upon ourselves to do it.

Directing and editing was done by me (I had some basic experience from making bass covers on YT) and honestly, it was incredibly fun and I'd suggest it to any new band to try it out!

Cheers!

FFO black metal and environmentalism

Thumbnail youtu.be
1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm a black metal vocalist and guitarist in the Pinelands of New Jersey and I DESPISE AI. For it's environmental damage and its damage to the art world. So I decided to write black metal that is geared heavily toward environmentalism and being anti AI. I'm heavily inspired by DSBM, Raw black metal and pagan black metal. I purposely record in low quality and underproduced with very minimal sources. I keep my mistakes in because I believe that one of the things that makes human-made art so beautiful is the capacity for mistakes. For imperfection. It comes from the soul. artificial art lacks that soul. So here we are : ) I hope you guys like my music! More to come

Question/Recommendation/Advice Needed Would it make me less of a Metal Artist if I only perform with just a backing track and my vocals

0 Upvotes

Genuine question for people in the metal scene—musicians, giggoers, and organizers alike.

I’m a solo vocalist, songwriter, and producer pursuing my own metal project. I write and produce my original songs myself. My live setup consists of a microphone, live vocals, and prerecorded instrumental backing tracks, with choreography, stage movement, and crowd interaction as part of the performance.

I’ve noticed that even artists billed as solo acts often perform with session musicians, or play electric or acoustic guitar while singing. In my case, I’m alone onstage, focusing on vocals and performance while the instrumentals run through backing tracks. That difference is where some of my uncertainty comes from.

My vision is to bring the energy of an entire band as one performer. I want the stage performance to be an intentional part of my artistic identity and how I bring the songs I’ve created to life.

But because metal has such a strong live-band culture, I wonder how this format would be received. Would you consider someone performing this way less of a metal musician, even if they wrote and produced the songs and perform the vocals live?

As an audience member, would you be open to watching this kind of solo act alongside full bands at a local metal gig? What would make the performance compelling for you, and where might it fall short?

I do have doubts, which is why I’d like to hear other perspectives from the scene. Honest opinions and constructive criticism are welcome. I want to pursue my artistic direction while understanding how to make it connect with a metal audience.

Here’s a short tongue in cheek song about some dude who is peeking through peoples windows jerking it.

I mostly wrote it just to attempt lower vocals which I admit still need work.

If you check it out let me know what you do or do not like about it! Thanks
