We are Spirit of the Prevailing Wind, a newish post-metal group in Salem seeking a second guitarist. We aren’t super concerned about stylistic purity, but some of our genre-specific influences include bands like ISIS, Year of No Light, Mouth of the Architect, Russian Circles, If These Trees Could Talk, Callisto, Neurosis, Pelican, YOB, Jesu, Amenra, etc.
We’re mostly interested in crafting good albums and playing shows regionally. We’re in our 40s, have decent jobs and aren’t willing to give up everything and hit the road like we did in our 20s, but we’re also not opposed to some light touring here and there if it makes sense.
We rehearse Thursday evenings in Salem. We’d expect you to have professional gear and some level of experience playing in bands, and bonus points if you are a multi-instrumentalist like most of us.
Not interested in hanging with addicts or MAGA. If this otherwise sounds cool to you and you’re a chill and kind person, please send some clips of your playing (no AI tracks, please).
