The Breaking is looking for a talented vocalist. We're looking for someone that is interested in more extreme forms of metal music, and has the ability to scream, growl, and sing.

we're looking for someone with a passion for the metal genre and is willing to give 100% effort into every aspect of the band.

Ages in the band range from 24 to 26, so we're looking for someone in their early 20's to mid 30's. PA will be provided, but you must have your own transportation.

Our influences include: Iron Maiden, Iced Earth, Children of Bodom, Blind Guardian, Slayer, Cannibal Corpes, Testament, etc.

Examples of our music can be heard at..

John Left?

unfortunately he couldn't work the band into his schedule anymore.. we're keeping in touch.. but for now, as far as the band is concerned.. we need to find another singer.

hey man, just a heads up, but go down to Morgan storage and check the bulletin board.
Theres always bands looking for members down there.

We'll definately be dropping a flyer down there tonight.. but to be honest, we haven't met a whole lot of power metal fans at Morgans. Mostly either Death Metal, Hard Core, or Jam Bands.. Still worth a try of course..

that is a pretty bad name for a metal band, I saw it and my mind reverted to "another screemy hardcoreish emoish metalcoreish band" and it is unfair that all the other bands in the world with similar names made me associate your band name with that music, because you have some damn good influences.

HA!! yeah.. unfortunately we didn't take that into consideration when we named the band.. I was in favor of "Pull The Plug" but some winy bitch Indy rock band in Jersey took it...

We decided we wanted to name the band after a means of torture.. and since Iron Maiden is already taken we decided on the Breaking Wheel..

Here's the Wikipedia description...

Breaking on the wheel was a form of torturous execution formerly in use, especially in France and Germany.

The wheel itself was similar to a large wooden wagon wheel, with many radial spokes, but a wheel was not always used.

In France —where it is said to have been first used— the victim was placed on a cart-wheel and his limbs stretched out along the spokes, one by one over two sturdy wooden beams. The wheel was made to slowly revolve, and a large hammer or an iron bar was then applied to the limb over the gap between the beams, breaking the bones. This process was repeated several times per limb. Sometimes it was 'mercifully' ordered that the executioner should strike the criminal on chest and stomach, blows known as coups de grâce, which caused lethal injuries, leading to the end of the torture by death; without those, the broken man could take hours, even days, before shock and dehydration caused death. In France, a special grace, called the retentum, could be granted, by which the condemned was strangled after the second or third blow, or in special cases, even before the breaking began.

Afterwards, the victim's shattered limbs were woven ('braiden') through the spokes of the wheel which was then hoisted onto a tall pole, so that birds could eat the sometimes still-living victim.

we've had our fair share people trying out. Many show up saying "yeah, I can sing.. I can do disturbed, and Godsmack!!".. we're trying to avoid this.. nothing like loosing an entire practice to someone talking about how unique linkin park is because they rap in their music..

Not to be judgmental.. or anything.. but we're looking for some serious pipes. Godsmack vocals to me (Ryan) are the equivalent to taking a barbed wire fence up the ass..

anyways.. in short, in we're short still Looking..

yet again..

Are the vocals your're loking for more death metal like in the vein of Frank from Suffocation or like warrel from nevermore?

The more dynamic the singer the better.. so I'd have to say more like Warrel. If you can scream through a whole song, and make it sound good, cool. If all you can do is sing.. cool. Our music gives plenty of opertunity for singing, and screaming.. so all are welcome to try out.

bump.. need vox...
