Hello…

My name is Matt Edwards and I play in the Wellington band Viscera.

Due to a family crisis our current bass player has had to leave the band and return to Christchurch to be closer to his family.

For this reason we’re looking for a replacement.

I’d like to give you the opportunity to apply.

Some things you should know:

- While it’s difficult to categories the bands sound entirely we consider ourselves a progressive metal group whom aim to retain a commercial element.
- We’re professional people and take our music seriously.
- Our music can at times be complex and a challenge to play technically although this means individual members of Viscera have the opportunity to express themselves and their instrument while challenging their own ability technically. We’ll also be fully supportive to a new member while they learn the material.

Further to this, Viscera will be relocating to Europe next year. This isn’t a spur of the moment decision the move has been planned for the last 12-18 months.

We have a brand new album coming out very shortly which has been cut with Neil Maddever (One of New Zealand’s top engineers) and we fully expect to go to Europe with some level of record label support.

If you would like to be a part of Viscera then this is something you’ll need to consider and be prepared to do.

Please don’t worry about the cost of the exercise, if you become a member of the band the only expectation on you apart from that of a normal band member will be that you have equipment of a high standard and that you’re able to obtain travel papers necessary for Europe. Most New Zealander’s won’t have any problem with obtaining these.

You'll also need to be brave and prepared to work hard and make sacrifices for your music.

If this sounds like an interesting opportunity please get in touch vie phone or email and we can talk.

I’ll provide you with some music on an expression of interest.

Best regards

Matt Edwards
