Hey everyone,

We’re The Poet, a project based in New Jersey (Newark area), currently looking for a dedicated vocalist to join us and complete the lineup.

This is not just a regular band — it’s a concept-driven project combining metal music + fantasy storytelling.

The project is based on a saga written by our guitarist, where:

• Each chapter of the story has its own song
• The sound blends metalcore intensity with atmospheric and emotional elements

Influences:

• Metalcore
• Circa Survive
• Howard Jones (style / vocal approach)

What we’re looking for:

• Strong clean vocals + ability for screams (or openness to it)
• Unique tone and emotional delivery
• Commitment to writing and developing a long-term project
• Based in NJ or able to commute to Newark area

About the project:

• Album: Sailor Man
• Story follows a pirate saga searching for the treasure of the 77 virgins
• Original language elements created for the music
• Goal: build something cinematic and different from typical bands

We’re serious about this and looking for someone who wants to build something meaningful, not just jam casually.

If interested, send:

• Demos / recordings (even phone recordings are fine)
• Links (YouTube, IG, etc.)

Let’s create something powerful.

— Gus / The Poet
