Come back often: there are new music reviews added every week.

Like melodic rock and heavy metal? Do have you have a strong knowledge of genres, bands and history? Do like to write? Do you understand the English language and basic grammar? Do you believe non-fiction writing can and should be creative and engaging? If so, then Dangerdog Music Reviews is looking for you.

Dangerdog Music Reviews is currently accepting serious inquiries for new staff to review modern and alternative rock and metal. If you'd like to write for DMR, then send an inquiry with a brief 'curriculum vitae' of your skills and experience.

My childhood was safe and sane. No abuse and no traumas. I was surrounded by a large and loving family who taught me the importance of hard work and a meaningful education.
   Ronnie James Dio

Lyrically I like to use themes that make the listener use his or her imagination, and to give a little of the lessons I've learned in my own life.
