Busy today with other commitments, BBL with more extreme metal news.
WAYNE PARKER, my upstairs neighbor invited over JOHN , SOPHIE AT 23 Henry Street, Kingston, New York 's boyfriend. over in our back yard. SOPHIE, JOHN's girlfriend started a rumor that I'm a drug dealer. That rumor is NOT, I repeat NOT true as they are, trying to black mail me for my living resources because they are jealous of my rent subsidy and want their daughter to move in.
I told JOHN to stay off the property as I'm suing his girlfriend SOPHIE for slander and defamation of character. I told him I will call the police the next time I see him (JOHN) on the property. JOHN was abusive calling me a bitch and other accusations. . .
My upstairs neighbor NICOLE PARKER of Kingston, New York (and her husband
WAYNE) are passing around a rumor that I'm a drug dealer is that is NOT
true. This is the same woman that tried to poison a stray cat with
chicken coated in garlic. Garlic is toxic to cats. Since then the cat
has died..
NICOLE PARKER is a mentally ill woman who refuses to to take medication for a psychotic mental illness.
Two years ago 2024, Via
a GOOGLE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MISTAKE, my like of a DAILY FREEMAN
WILLIE MAYS article was consolidated with an article about a drug
dealer.
My FACEBOOK like about a DAILY FREEMAN article about a drug dealer got consolidated next to the link about the drug dealer.
My name is not in the article about the drug dealer (I'm THERESA GETELES) and I'm NOT moving out of my apartment.
I'm ready to SUE NICOLE and WAYNE PARKER for slander, defamation of character and charge her with black mail.
.
NICOLE PARKER deals pot brownies and weed without a license to her friends..
I'm
also suing SOPHIE AT 23 Henry Street, Kingston, New York for slander
and defamation of character as I'm NOT a drug dealer nor user, and I'M
NOT moving out of my apartment.

"Symphonique" is OUT NOW!
After
40+ years, Voïvod's pioneering sci-fi metal meets the full force of the
Quebec Symphony Orchestra. "Symphonique" is out today worldwide via
Century Media Records: 12 songs, 73 minutes, recorded live at the Grand
Théâtre in Québec City.
Away
on the release: "This live album with the Quebec Symphony Orchestra is a
longtime dream turned reality... It's the closest we've ever come to
sounding like a dystopian sci-fi movie soundtrack."
Fresh
today: the new video for "The Unknown Knows (Symphonique)", created by
Luc Leclerc / Above The Void with background animation by Sébastien
Fournier / Cirkus Animation.
"The
End Of Dormancy (Symphonique)" is one of the most orchestral pieces on
the upcoming live album with the Orchestre symphonique de Québec, and
Chewy's words about it say it best:
"I
wrote the riffs imagining Roman naval battles with a full orchestra,
like the movies from the 50's and 60's. It has a very dramatic vibe.
Little did I know that what we synthesized for a four-piece band would
eventually explode into its primary original imagined form. It's one of
the most orchestral pieces on the album and I remember vividly the
crowd's reaction after the grand finale, it was one of these rare life's
perfect moments."
Album out June 5th
VOÏVOD
announces "SYMPHONIQUE" - a live album with the Orchestre symphonique

FROM NAPALM RECORDS:
Heavy Metal Pioneers ACCEPT Release New Re-recorded Version of “Balls to the Wall” feat. Rob Halford & more for 50th Anniversary!
German heavy metal legends ACCEPT release another single off of their upcoming new album masterpiece, Teutonic Titans 1976-2026, produced, mixed and mastered by the legendary Zeuss. They have teamed up with “Metal God” Rob Halford and guitar icon Matthias Jabs for an explosive new rendition of the genre classic, “Balls to the Wall.” Serving as the second single from their massive 50th-anniversary celebratory album, Teutonic Titans 1976-2026, this track perfectly illustrates the band’s half-century legacy. Dropping September 4, 2026, via Napalm Records, this tight and powerful release delivers a vital blow that proves ACCEPT are as relevant as ever. Featuring 19 timeless songs and no fewer than 50 legendary guest artists, the album culminates in an unforgettable moment as the Metal God himself joins the band on the iconic anthem “Balls to the Wall.” The all-star metal supergroup they gathered is another powerful look into the album celebrating both the band’s extraordinary 50-year legacy and the heavy metal genre they helped shape itself.
Wolf Hoffmann about “Balls to the Wall”:
“Rob is the Metal God. I don’t need to say any more about him. Once we knew that he would do it, it was an obvious choice to give him ‘Balls to the Wall’ because it’s the best fit imaginable! I played all the rhythm guitars. Matthias Jabs from Scorpions played the solo, which is very cool and a huge honour, and it’s Rex Brown on bass and Jason Bowld on drums. So that’s a really cool package.”

**** (4 stars)=very good, well worth the purchase
*** 1/2 (3 1/2 stars)=Good, standard fare, for fans and not new converts
*** (3 stars)=Good, but flawed, no progression here
** 1/2 (2 1/2 stars)=Bordering on mediocrity, band is overrated
** (two stars)=somewhere between mediocre and SUKETH
* 1/2 (1 1/2 stars)= SUKETH (this release SUCKS)
* (one star)=Awful, this CD can only be used as a beer coaster or a Frisbee.
? (No stars)=this band and release blow goats.

ITP V.20/21's author writes alone, and always has. ITP V.020/21s TEXT is CREATIVE COMMONS (and copy written) as ITP V.020/21 is a media partner for the music/metal industry and under fair use promoting music.

SOME RIGHTS RESERVED WITHOUT PREJUDICE Protect Yourself
BTW, ITP was EDITED in FULL (the entire journal in 2013 (Years ago-ITP looks and reads different huh?.
BTW, ITP TEXT is CREATIVE COMMONS and you might look silly as I have bit of black list in the music industry and beyond.
A couple of issues I would like to address:
ITP DOES NOT like PSYCHOTIC people following ITP, you're under arrest, I will sue you.
ITP does not promote local and regional artists/bands and music venues whom have screwed me over, don't reciprocate or bands, labels, venues I don't like.
It is NOT ITP's responsibility for promoting your venue, club or crap band or show, DIY and promote your self, If I don't promote you or your band are awful, the music is awful.
ITP only promotes what SHE likes, go play in your own sandbox.
I don't promote local or regional bands or/and venues just because they are local, nor do I ignore bands and venues from out of state and out of the U.S. .
ITP does not promote main stream music nor mall core..Only extreme metal..
There are a couple of labels that are blacklisted, one that is national socialist.
A few bands are blacklisted from ITP, and one or two venues.
Obviously is someone gets in fight over ITP there will be consequences, NOT YOURS, ITP owns her own copy right.
ITP is not a request journal, it is an extreme metal source for extreme metal news, no hipsters, ITP is my journal.
ITP, while a media partner for most labels,does not write for nor work for record labels and is independent of record labels. ITP is not owned by a record label.
BTW, regarding monetize for adverts, ITP does not normally do adverts and has not committed to monetize, although I'll look into it, depending on timing and circumstances.
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal and welcome to ITP \m/
