Interested in Contributing?
  • We’re only accepting guest contributors for music reviews at this time. No commitments, just unpaid volunteers with a passion for heavy music & able to write a coherent sentence.
  • Experience with WordPress is helpful, yet unnecessary.
  • Photographer hobbyists welcome. No need to write anything, as we have photo-only galleries.
  • Send an email with writing or photo samples to Leanne@riffrelevant.com

Past & Present Contributors:

Kira Schlecter, Taylor D. Waring, Matheus Jacques, Pat ‘Riot’ Whitaker, Brian Halsey, Brett Schacht, David ‘Sunshine’ LaMay, Kaleb Alexander, Santiago Gutierrez, Brendan Burns, Hillarie Jason, Damon Caraway, Shaun Katz

Views expressed in articles are solely those of the credited author, as such, they do not represent all contributors or this website as a whole.


Music Submissions:

There is no guarantee we will publish any submission, but we do what we can. That being said, here’s what to do:

Bands & Artists: fill out our Hearkened Heap Submission Form

All heavy genre music artists, labels, or PR are welcome to send music, news, or press releases:

  • Email all submissions to news@riffrelevant.com or add us to your distribution list.
  • Do not attach mp3s to email, as our internet servers may block large file attachments. Send links to stream or download music (preferably Bandcamp).
  • Include an EPK or relevant information about your music – tell us who you are! Email with only “hey, check this out!” & a YouTube link gets deleted.
  • Mail physical submissions: Riff Relevant (L. Ridgeway), PO Box 786, Albany, NY 12201-0786 U.S.A.
