Kingdoms Looks For New Guitarist!

Kingdoms  – Hardcore/Metalcore- Xenia, OH
“So, It’s with a very heavy heart we have parted ways with our guitarist Josh. We had some musical differences and The way we wanted to pursue was not something he wanted personally. There are no hard feelings between us and him we are all still great friends and wish him nothing But the best in whatever he decides to do. With that being said as a band we will be searching for a new guitar player and continuing our writing of an EP And will be playing shows very soon. So if you are intrested in possibly playing for us message us or one of the members and we will give you details. Thank you all for the continued support we love you all!”

Local Music Playlists (Hours of uninterrupted local music, by genre)

***I’m trying out what I hope will be a new feature of this page: Local Music Playlists, by genre (This is NOT a radio show)***
Check out my LOCAL METAL PLAYLIST on ReverbNation, featuring 80+ songs from 45 local metal bands! I handpicked these songs from bands so that we could enjoy hours of uninterrupted local music together, and it was really cool and reassuring to find so much good local metal!  The bands cover every spectrum of the metal genre, ranging from technical speed metal to groove metal, from death metal & black metal to thrash and hardcore rap metal and everything in between.  There is a varying degree of recording quality and volume throughout the playlist, so be warned that your ears may actually bleed at some points from some of our more brutal metal bands (at least we hope so)!  \m/

I’ll be starting a new local music playlist soon.  If you dig this idea, give this post a like and maybe comment and tell me what genre I should focus on next!
