Writers/Bloggers/News Submissions

If you want to write about the music you love and want to use Heavy Blog Is Heavy as your forum, then It’s easy. Send an email with your review, editorial, or whatever, to mail(at)heavyblogisheavy(dot)com. If we like it, we’ll make you a contributor. The only requirements: you have to be a decent writer and you have to, obviously, listen to this type of music. Including a link to your last.fm is a plus!

Music Submissions/Press Releases

So you want us to hear your music? Awesome! The best way to do that is to send us an email with some info about your band and direct us to your Bandcamp or Soundcloud page by emailing us at mail(at)heavyblogisheavy(dot)com. If you want to send mp3s, artwork, anything via email, that’s cool. If you want us to hear your whole album, just send us a link! Bandcamp is our favorite website, but if you want to send us a copy of your album through another means, Mediafire is our favorite file host! We will not give out links to downloads unless permission is given.

Physical packages are also welcome! If you want to send any physical packages, promo materials, or letters to Heavy Blog Is Heavy, please send us an email to get the mailing address so we may direct your material to the writer who would appreciate it the most, thus maximizing chances for a better review.

Keep in mind that Heavy Blog Is Heavy operates not only across the US, but transatlantically. The writers are based all over the United States with an editor in the UK and we’re looking to expand to have writers from other places as well. Regional and local bands should direct their music towards the closest writer by sending an email to the above email address to their attention. You can see where the writers are located in the site’s footer.

We get a lot of stuff in the inbox, so if we don’t reply, we are very very sorry. We’re busy folks and we can only listen to and post about so much!

Tour Sponsorships

We’d love to become more active in covering live shows and promoting tours. We’d like to sponsor national-level tours in either USA or UK! In exchange for our logo on the tour poster, we’ll cover the tour via news, live reviews, contests, interviews, give you the reigns of your own column, and we’ll put an ad for the tour on our sidebar at the top of the page until the trek ends. We’ll also do pretty much what ever else you want, so long as you don’t take pictures of us doing it!

Copyright

We NEVER leak anything unless specifically told to. We try to not infringe on any copyright, and do not do so knowingly. We do not post links to pirated material. If we manage to slip up and post something you own, contact us and we will remove the copyrighted material as soon as possible.

Copywriting/Copyediting/Proofreading

One of our editors, Chris, runs a copywriting, copyediting and proofreading company called Chiron Copy. He’s got a top class university degree and his rates are pretty good. Check out the link to his website above for more information, and you can find him on Facebook here. This ties into the following…

PR Work

We can write you press releases, send them out to blogs and websites, and try our best to coordinate interviews, reviews, and articles. We’ll even run updates on your band’s twitter and facebook pages if you are so inclined to have us. The only catch is that you have to a) be somewhat metal or appealing to metal listeners in some fashion, b) have to have some high quality music recordings to promote (as in an EP or album release), and c) we have to actually enjoy your band. We’re actually pretty picky about who we pick up as clients, so if we don’t get back to you, sorry! We’ve got other day jobs and things and can only take on so much! Just email us with some info on your band and tell us what kind of a budget you’re working with and we’ll see what we can do for you!

Advertising

Our advertising is done through Fixion Media, who is Heavy Blog Is Heavy’s official ad representative. They are most awesome and you should pay them a visit if you’re either looking for advertising on your own website or you’re looking to promote your band or label to the relevant websites.

If you want to pay for some priority advertising for your band/label/product/whatever, we’re actually quite affordable. We’re so affordable, it’s sickening. Hit up mail[at]heavyblogisheavy[dot]com for a rate and we’ll see what we can do for you! The ads must be relevant to metal in some way though!
