(6/15/2011): MIDGARD is looking for members. The reactivated Colorado melodic death metal band MIDGARD is looking for a drummer and a guitarist to join the ranks. The drummer must be capable of playing fast and aggressive material, with some blast beats, while being able to maintain groove for more melodic parts. The guitarist must have good lead guitar skills with appreciation for both melody and aggression. Successful candidates should be between 21 and 40, able to practice at least once or twice a week in Denver metro area, with no serious alcohol or drug issues and with their own equipment and transportation. Some experience in the studio and playing live is a plus. We are serious about the music but also have families and full-time careers, and would like to have fun with this band while making great music. Our goal is to make a great album and to play some shows, not to go on full-scale tours or to make a living from music. If this sounds like a kind of band you might be interested in, e-mail us at midgardmetal@yahoo.com. With the unique sound that draws on melodic death, doom, and power metal, MIDGARD released two EPs and a web single to some acclaim between 2001 and 2005 before dissolving due to personal and scheduling differences. The band performed numerous shows culminating with the performance at Milwaukee Metalfest in 2002, while Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles magazine featured the track "Failure of Utopia" on its Knuckletracks compilation alongside such artists as DIO and MANOWAR. Select MIDGARD songs are available for streaming at its MySpace page.
