LAURA SAYS GOODBYE – BUT THE WITCHCRAFT LIVES ON!
Dear WITCHES family,
With heavy hearts, we have to announce that Laura Guldemond has decided to leave BURNING WITCHES.
We have talked things through and tried our very best to find a way forward together, but ultimately, we have to respect and accept her decision. Even the most magical journeys sometimes come to an end.
We want to thank Laura from the bottom of our hearts for all the fantastic shows, the amazing albums, and the unforgettable memories we have created together over the years. Those moments will forever be part of the BURNING WITCHES legacy!
BUT THE FIRE IS STILL BURNING – AND THE WITCHES WILL KEEP FLYING HIGH!
We want to reassure all our fans that ALL ANNOUNCED SHOWS WILL GO AHEAD AS PLANNED! The spirit of BURNING WITCHES remains unbroken - WE STAND AS ONE!
For our upcoming shows at the end of the year, our dear friend and fantastic vocalist Jennifer Gruber of FIREBORN will step in and join us on stage! We are incredibly grateful for her support and can’t wait to unleash some serious metal magic together!
Meanwhile, we are already auditioning for a new permanent frontwoman who will help us take BURNING WITCHES to the next level!
A NEW CHAPTER BEGINS – THE COVEN STANDS UNITED!
The witchcraft continues, the flames are rising, and we are more determined than ever to carry the torch forward!
Please read Laura’s personal statement below:
———————————————————————
To the Burning Witches family and metal fans around the world:
After seven incredible years, I’ve made the heartfelt decision to step down as the band’s singer.
These past years have been a phenomenal journey. I’m immensely proud of everything we accomplished, of the four heavy records we made together, and I will forever cherish the unforgettable memories we created along the way. I sincerely wish Burning Witches all the best moving forward, and I kindly ask you, the fans, to respect this decision for everyone involved. There are no hard feelings—sometimes it’s simply time for a change when visions no longer fully align.
Moving forward, I’m excited to focus fully on my own music and embrace whatever exciting creative adventures come my way next. This isn’t a goodbye to music—just the start of a new chapter!
We wish you all the very best for your future, sister!
BOUND BY FIRE – UNITED BY STEEL!
See you soon, dear metalheads, in MALTA and GERMANY !

ITP recommends that readers are 18 and up, we are not responsible for raising your kids.
I don't like people whom don't respect the metal genres, or ME following me on or offline, stalking or menacing me, any obsessions, or neighbors looking to fight, or make a delusional conspiracy theory out of nothing, so I will take legal action to define a boundary with posers and bullies. These bullies are NOT allowed at our or any metal shows.

All videos and music featured on ITP come straight from the labels and bands official YOU TUBE, VIMEO, SOUNDCLOUD and BANDCAMP accounts (I hope they go viral), under fair use, all rights reserved to the artists and labels, courtesy of the bands and labels.
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.
ITP REVIEWS are independent of record labels and others, record labels nor anyone can not censor ITP reviews, making a distinction between Public Relations, advertising as reviews are independent via ITP and have to be independent of record labels..
Censorship regarding issues of denial will NOT be tolerated from anyone nor individuals, sites, as they will be legally liable for slander and defamation of character in a lawsuit.
ITP is NOT associated with DEATH (Although I'm a fan) ITP V.020 is NOT a DEATH fan site, as ITP V.021 is a extreme metal news portal/blog for and about extreme metal.
ITP RESERVES SOME RIGHTS AS IN "FAIR USE" IN THE CONTEXT OF MUSIC, METAL and ENTERTAINMENT PROMOTION AND REVIEWS.
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/
