Chicago's ultimate metal web 'zine has opened it's gates ONCE AGAIN to draft journalistically inclined minions…no, no wait… Seriously, we need mindless metal intern nerds to do album reviews. We are growing at a much faster pace and are expanding in a new direction. And frankly, we could really use the help. Special incentives include but not limited to: free show tickets, CDs, t-shirts as well as possible school credit. Journalist students get precedence over any however, everyone is encouraged to apply. In addition, some payment per word/per interview is available on a first come first serve basis.

Deadlines are essential.

Show us what you got! Do you have what it takes? Then send us an intro letter and writing sample to:

freelance@fourteeng.net

As much as we love fan boys/fan girls alike, DO NOT WASTE OUR TIME! Only the morbidly serious music elitists need apply. Seriously, we would like to poise the metal community with knowledgeable music journalists with a knack for breaking new genres. Good luck and dark blessings to you all.

No, we're not dead! Check out what's going on the site: www.fourteeng.net We have gone digital to give you a more in-depth and personal account of interviews living up to our motto "Raw, Rough & Real!"

Thurisaz, who are recently coming off their European tour with Novembers Doom & Agalloch, will be making their US debut & also be playing in support of their upcoming new album "Circadian Rhythm", released in March. Co-Promoter & Twelfth Gate bassist Rob Such also adds, "While on my recent trip to Europe with friends Novembers Doom, I was able to watch openers Thurisaz kick ass every night...and I really felt that they deserved a chance to leave the same lasting impression on this year's Powerfest audience just as they did on me & the audiences throughout Europe."
