Industrial Metal from Switzerland.

We are an industrial rock project based in the region of Zurich/Winterthur looking for a singer with an outstanding voice who is willing to add his own flavor and energy to the project.

Our music combines heavy guitar riffs, cutting electronica and hard hitting drums to a mechanical and dark sound with a menacing edge. Modern, original and creative, somewhere between Metal, Industrial, Electro-Pop and Trance.

Always looking for imperative simplicity, we're striving to create something new, raw and sinister, yet refined, melodic and danceable. Featuring emotional vocals, spoken or sung, with simple but catchy hooks and intelligent, poetic, sarcastic or sociocritic lyrics.

To complete our line up, we are looking for a singer with a unique, complex, enthralling or even haunting voice.

You are a singer who is in command of his voice and likes to selectively use different styles to express and emphasize moods. You love to stage stories and animate songs with your voice. In your world, singing is always performing. You are talented and dedicated, between 35 and 55 years old, have time to spare for music. You prefer to work in a professional way and are willingly looking forward to to create something extraordinary with us.

Today’s million dollar question is: will there be music after the sudden death of the music industry? The better question might be: was the industry there for the music or for the hype? Or has the industry killed the music? What a relief not having to think about that anymore, some young folks in Zurich, Switzerland thought and started to do what they can do best: just play their music, straight from the heart, no double bottom and no A&R advice. Here we go with THE FORMERS. No record deal? No problem. You won’t be on tour for three weeks, but there’s a cozy local scene in Zurich, where THE FORMERS became an attraction and their gigs are just packed whenever they play. A solid blend of Indie Rock, Singer Songwriter and traces of New Wave, the band aims for higher goals. Don’t miss them when they’re around next. They have all the ingredients for an excellent live performance, be it the soulful voice of singer Matt, the dense sound collages of guitarist Luc, all embedded in the tight backbeat of bassist Bartek and drummer Ulrich. Once up, they can’t be stopped. And this is the moment, where people, just after the gig, post such comments on FB such as ‘….incredible evening yesterday…. with THE FORMERS!!!’
