Glasgowโs metal underground is rumbling again, and this time itโs Pyroclast throwing the bat signal into the pit. The band have officially announced theyโre on the lookout for a new drummer, and this isnโt some โjam once a month and see what happensโ situation โ this is full throttle, album-in-progress, festival-bound chaos.
If youโve got arms like pistons, a love of heavy music, and a metronome that lives permanently in your soul, this might just be your moment, butt.
๐ฅ WHATโS GOING ON THEN?
Pyroclast are an established Glasgow-based metal band, already deep in the trenches working on new material, with:
- ๐ง An album heavily underway
- ๐ธ Plenty of gigs lined up
- ๐ช Popular festivals booked for 2026
- ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ Mid-week rehearsals in their own Glasgow space
In other words โ this band is moving. Fast. No standing around waiting for inspiration to strike like a hungover pigeon.
๐ฅ WHO ARE THEY AFTER?
This isnโt about being the flashiest show-off in the room. Pyroclast are keeping it refreshingly real:
Theyโre after the right person, not perfection.
That means someone who is:
- Reliable (turning up is metal, actually)
- Easy to get on with (no ego tantrums, please)
- Comfortable playing heavy music
- Happy throwing in occasional double-kick when the riffs demand it
Youโll need:
- Your own kit (only breakables required for the audition)
- Transport is preferred, but not a deal-breaker
Basically: be solid, be sound, and hit hard ๐ฅ๐
๐จ WHY THIS MATTERS
Good drummers are rarer than dry weekends at Download. If youโve been waiting for a band thatโs already rolling, already booking, already building something serious โ this is not a drill.
Album momentum + live dates + festivals = real opportunity.
