Jukka Pelkonen comments,
"Moongold follows the style the whole album is all about. It is fast and packed. It is a stripped song but the layers become visible after a fee spins. I really like the catchiness of this song. I do hope it reaches our setlist in the future. Made for live experience."

FROM WARLORD:
Despite being based in Los Angeles, cult metal heroes WARLORD, whose back-catalog digitally was recently acquired by BraveWords Records, have never played North America over their 45 year plus career span and are co-headlining this tour with the mighty Onslaught!
Warlord are playing their seminal album, “Deliver Us” in its entirety plus more classic era material. The two bands embark on this tour de force after a special set at Hell’s Heroes in Houston TX. Get your tickets now!
Mark Zonder says:
“Although Warlord is an American band, formed in 1980... in those 45 years since, we never once performed live in the USA! (our first gig ever was actually in Germany in 2002). This year we will set forth on our first ever tour of North America, performing the set that fans would have seen from us if we had done this all those years ago, the full “Deliver Us” Mini LP, “Cannons” tracks, “Lost And Lonely Days” EP and more”.
With us for this historic tour will be the legendary Onslaught”

FROM AKHLYS:
The veil parts once more as Akhlys unveil a new visual manifestation for 'Ephialtes'. Taken from the 2020 abyssal masterpiece "Melinoรซ", the haunting track is brought to life by artist's Chthonia stark and nightmarish imagery.
AKHLYS mainman Naas Alcameth comments:
"The song speaks of a confrontation with an 'other' that is both mirror and master, initiator and adversary, through which the self undergoes an ecstatic displacement and is symbolically re-crowned through terror."

German hard rock, metal warriors SCORPIONS have announced the passing of former bassist FRANCIS BUCHHOLZ at 75. No cause of death has been given.
SCORPIONS unleashed "ROCK
BELIEVER", 2/25/2022 via SONY MUSIC GERMANY.
.
FROM SCORPIONS:
Dear Fans,
we have just received the very sad news that our longtime friend and bass player, Francis Buchholz, has passed away. His legacy with the band will live on forever, and we will always remember the many good times we have shared together.
Our hearts go out to Hella, his family, and friends.
Francis Buchholz, the bassist with rock titans Scorpions, has died aged 71.
FROM OPETH:
”Francis Buchholz has passed away and it is very saddening news indeed. He was the bass player with the ”most” (I suppose) classic line-up of the Scorpions, consisting of Klaus, Rudolf, Jabs, Rarebell and Francis. In the 80’s they were probably my favorite band in the world. I love all eras of the Scorps but got into them through the ”Blackout” album in the early 80’s, so Francis became an idol of mine, just like the other guys in the band. I didn’t know him, and I never met him. Many bass players I’ve met are the most modest person in the band, including my own band. They lay down the foundations together with the drummer and stay in the background. In many ways I believe that’s how they want it. Francis seemed to be just like that. He didn’t take up as much space as the rest of the boys from Hanover, but had an unquestionable presence up there. I was transfixed with their performance at the now classic ”Dortmund 83” festival that was aired on national television here in Sweden that year. I couldn’t believe I could actually see those guys ”moving”. Feels like these are ancient memories from a different planet now.
Anyways, I digress….
I want to extend our warmest condolences to the Buchholz family and friends, and of course to the fans of Francis. We’re having a record evening (shocker!) at home this evening, and chances are (about 100%) that there’ll be some Scorpions records on the turntable. Francis Buchholz, rest in peace! Love from Opeth

*** 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.

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/
