I'm looking for motivated, reliable, and dedicated musicians interested in playing Metal influenced by Armenian and various European Folk music. The core of the project is deeply influenced by Melodic/Black/Death/Melodic metal genres of EUROPE...that means no American hardcore or other crapcore bands or nu metal crap including bands like Metallica, Slipknot, Linkin Park, System of a Down, etc. There really arn't many Armenians that are into the underground metal genres, and for the ones that are, they completely ignore the unique qualities they can bring to music with their Armenian roots.
Blending underground metal genres with Armenian elements though may not be a commercial success and I have no desire in making a career out of music, it surely could be something new and interesting for the Armenian people musically.
I believe blending Armenian melodies and maybe even some singing with the mentioned metal subgenres has a great potential that no one has acted upon.
Here is a sample of one of my solo music demos which displays the core of the music, not too influenced by Armenian melodies though and it isnt too fancy, the production of the recording aint the greatest, I did everything with my personal computer in my room but check it out to get an idea.

If you think you want to join me in this quest or know someone that may be interested, the following is what im looking for:
- Self Motivated, Dedicated Armenian Metalhead thats a Musician (no flakes)
- Intermediate experience as a musician, dont need to be professional just be comfortable with playing your instrument
- Drug free (alcohol is ok occasionally) individual
- Located in Southern California
- Have your own equipment, practice area would be a plus too
- Be intelligent and responsible, no stupid people
thats all I can think of at the moment, If you're looking to creat yet another Metallica copycat band or a System copycat band, this isn't for you. Theres too many Armenians playing that kind of music, this project is not trendy or commercial. The idea is to use your own musical creativity to make something new.
A little about me: I'm a 2nd yr college student of Economics, in my free time I run the largest website dedicated to Folk Influenced metal, www.trolleve.com and I also work on my solo music work, since I have thus far not found any suitable people dedicated to playing music of this style.
I know I probably wont find anyone here, but I have to try, afterall this is the biggest online Armenian community, and many people from southern california are here, since the band should consist of soley Armenians, there really arnt too many places to look.
if you're interested respond to the thread or e-mail me at [email protected]
Thanks for reading,
I hope It reaches someone
