Site Update
Help Wanted!
As we move forward into another year of metal news and more, metalunderground.com is looking to bolster its staff and smooth out the coverage (across times of day and metal tastes/genres) more. We're looking to bring onboard another couple metalheads to help out with the news and band information (and reviews, interviews, and more later). We're especially interested in people who can post some news during the morning/day hours (Eastern Time), or someone in the midwest or west coast (US), or the UK, Europe or Australia, both for the time differences and for the difference in metal outlook and local scenes.
The only requirements other than a few (15-30) minutes a day to post news (and some time to occaisionally do a review or interview), is that you are fluent and can write well in English. And of course that you're a metalhead / headbanger, regardless of your specific metal tastes.
If being able to contribute to the metal community and underground (via metalunderground.com) sounds satisfying in itself, please contact me to help out, and become part of a rapidly growing website!

So once again we are looking for a new full time drummer. Please email betweentheburied@hotmail.com if you want to tryout. You need to be very motivated and willing to dedicate your life to our band. Serious musicians only... we're tired of flakes honestly. We are still planning to tour constantly when we get this lineup situation figured out.
