The bigger Deadtide.com gets, the more stuff labels send us, and it's getting to a point where the seven of us won't be able to keep up anymore. To prepare for that, we're looking for some fresh blood to help us with reviews and interviews.
In general, we're looking for honest people who are passionate about metal, know how to write, and have educated insight to offer. Specifically, we have immediate need for two types of writers:
REVIEWERS
Right now, we could really use writers to cover the following genres:
Power Metal (if you're a fan, we will make you VERY happy!)
Hardcore/Metalcore (ie: Trustkill, Victory, Lifeforce, etc.)
Underground death metal (ie: not Six Feet Under)
Underground black metal (ie: not Cradle of Filth)
We can always use folks who like other shades of heavy, but those are the kinds of releases that seem to be piling up lately.
INTERVIEWERS
We're also looking for people to interview bands in person and by phone, IM or Email. We'll take care of the logistics (setting up appointments, acquiring passes to shows, etc.), and you'll handle the questions and transcription. If you like to meet new people and talk metal, it's a lot of fun.
ALL APPLICANTS MUST:
be 18 or older
be HONEST (ripoffs and slackers will be hunted down and gutted like fish)
be capable of forming both coherent thoughts and complete sentences
have a firm grasp of both the English language and grammar
have a sense of humor, but take their writing seriously
have a reliable computer and know how to use it
have a reliable web connection
have both a permanent Email and mailing address
not have an attitude of ANY kind (no elitists, no chauvinists, no racists, no nazis, no assholes)
If you're interested in either position and meet the criteria, please contact Jason at jason@deadtide.com and be prepared to submit three reviews and/or interviews for consideration. If selected, you won't get paid, but you will get free CDs, passes to shows, various other goodies, and a chance to see your name in pixels.
Hope to hear from you!
