FROM MORK GRYNING:

Band Update – Lineup Change

After a long period of reflection, Goth Gorgon has decided to step back from continuing with Mörk Gryning.

This decision comes from a combination of diverging artistic directions, a decreasing interest in the musical style, and other commitments outside the band. These things happen, especially over time, and we fully respect his choice.

We want to express our deepest gratitude to Goth Gorgon — not only as a band member, but also as one of the founders of Mörk Gryning. His vision, dedication, and contribution have been fundamental in shaping what this band is today.

In connection with this, the position will be replaced by former member Avathar, who was in the band´s line-up during the recording of the album “Maelstrom chaos” from 2001.

The work continues. Mörk Gryning moves forward with full focus on writing and finalizing new material, with the goal of entering the studio before autumn for the next recording.

Thank you for your continued support. Darkness remains.

-Mörk Gryning

We have important news for RIOT's upcoming 2026 tour dates, seems like a lot of bands are going through this with members! Unfortunatly singer Todd Hall has informed us he cannot perform with the band anymore at this point because of family issues. We wish the best for him and thank him for his years in the band and who knows what the future might hold! In the great tradition of the band and in Mark Reales beliefs and words, "the show must go on" for the fans! Mike and Don have been a part of the band for over 40 years and this is not the first time we had to deal with this situation and on such short notice, we have searched for fill ins for the 2026 tour runs and luckily we have recruited Italian guitar virtuoso/ singer Valentino Francavilla! Valè has been a long time fan of the band and performed with us in Japan and loves this opportunity to help out one of his favorite bands at this point belting out the highs and a little guitar! As for the long-term we will keep all you Metal Soldiers posted for updates on fill ins and a permanent situation! We are currently working on our 18th record so stay tuned Warriors we will never surrender!

Thank you and see you soon!

Shine On! DVS, Mike, Frank, Jonathan and Mark!

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.
