Our guitarist Killius Maximus will be leaving us for 6 months to study yoga and meditation at an ashram in India at the beginning of August 2015.
…no, really, I’m serious.
We are seeking a new guitarist to join our ranks. As Killius is planning on attending medical school sometime in the near future, this may turn into a permanent position in the band.
WHO WE ARE: Lords of the Trident is an over-the-top 80s heavy metal band out of Madison, WI. We create a huge stage show with costumes, props, pyro, etc. while focusing on writing intricate, catchy, and awesome metal songs. Our style is a mix of classic metal (Maiden, Priest, Dio, Savatage, Dokken) with modern metal influences. We are signed in Europe by Killer Metal records, and have wide-scale European and US distribution. We have 5 albums under our belts at the moment, as well as a large repertoire of covers. On average, we play 1-4 times a month in various locations around the Midwest.

And give us some information about you (years played, any previous bands, why you’re interested, etc.).
NOTE: Killius leaving the band is 100% amicable. There is no bad blood between us and him – he is just pursuing a life goal that, time-wise and geographically, does not work well with his band duties. We wish Killius the best of luck in any and all future endeavors.
