We are Gridlock Takedown, an extreme metal band from London/Surrey.

We've been on the scene for a while and have a lot of experience, we were once getting a lot of recognition but due to members messing us about we got put back a few steps and are now looking for the right drummer to take this thing all the way forward.

We've played all of Londons major underground venues such as the Mean Fiddler, the Underworld, the Garage etc.

Some of our influences include Morbid Angel, Meshuggah, Death, Opeth and Isis.

We have also just finished an album which you can listen to completely free here:

It's not all completely extreme. There are some very ambient parts on the album and some good progressive passages; in fact we're now looking to branch out a little more due to the member reshuffle.

As a drummer, believe me when I say you will be joining a truly innovative and original band, the scene isn't going to know what hit them.

All we require from you is a good work ethic, willingness to learn/write this next set of songs, play gigs and some tight drumming skills. In particular tight double kick, competence with a click track and are unphased by odd time signatures and tempo changes.

Think you're up to it?
