International web site located in Washington DC seeks writers. Part-time positions could become full-time. We pay particular attention to concerts and events here in the area and have plans for a local version of our site.

We live in a world where the political order in power is failing on a massive scale. The world of underground culture is a forum where new ideas can be distributed that can serve as basis for global change.
We cover subjects such as heavy metal rock, including black metal and death metal and creative forms of art such as science fiction art and tattoo art. We also cover film. We have a focus on studying links between the past and present. There are very clear connections for example between ancient paganism and modern metal, particularly certain aspects of black metal in Europe and Latin America. There is also a connection between ancient paganism and a respect for the environmental foundations of life on planet. Today these biological foundations of life are being systematically destroyed by the current political order that rules our planet.
Writing work here involves following cultural trends, particularly on an international scale. Work can involve going to concerts and covering what's happening on Myspace and You Tube.
Being well-informed about environmental matters and current events is also relevant. We want to increase the awareness of the artistic community about what is going on in the world.
