PROBLEM WITH JEHOVAS WITNESS HOUSEMATE IN BOARDING HOUSE


http://www.collegenet.com/elect/app/app?service=external/Forum&sp=23371, http://www.mylawyer.com/legalinfo.asp?level=3&id=266,http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/sexist/2010/03/18/cat-calling-bystander-sexism-and-how-sexual-harassment-hurts-men/, http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/catcalling Unfortunately, as a female, I'm constantly being harassed by a housemate in a boarding house (as I didn't choose him as a housemate, every room is rented separately) Joesph Thurston, some wingnut Jehovas Witness, as he will NOT stop sticking his head out of the window of our boarding house and making cat calls to any female (including myself) walking by, blasting Christian music between 4AM and 6AM, singing loudly and talking to himself, and following me when ever I leave the house, totally BIZARRE, as this behavior is unacceptable specifically in a boarding house. ..Everyone avoids this Jehovah's Witness dude Joesph Thurston like the plague, no one wants to talk to him, neither do I. I don't care what someone looks like in the morning, there is no reason to abuse others. I'm not straight, and I'm a staunch atheist, I can't fathom the many ways all of my friends want to discipline this Jehovah Witness negro, coon as we're all annoyed by this disgusting behavior. We've called the cops on him and one other 7 times in a month.
Not to mention that the landlord has just spent money on water sealing the bathroom, there fore closing the shower for two days because of Joesph Thurston's (room 4) INTENTIONAL abuse of such privileges (putting icky things down the bathroom drain on on the shower stall floor) as no one could shower for two days.
I'm going to press charges against this Jehovah Witness for harassment, perhaps sexual, and bullying and if you see him do that to you, take action, I will support.
I'm also going to sue this landlord for lack of house management, lack of adequate plumbing, multiple power outages (ruining one of my appliances), being locked in my room (first week) as the doorknob was tampered with before I moved in, no blinds in my room, hallway and bathroom and lack of hot water in court. We're also thinking that the basement apartment with the porch may be (not confirmed) an illegal rental. We have him this Jehovah Witness idiot (Joesph Thurston) on tape and on camera harassing, and stalking and menacing others.
Everyone in this house has reacted towards him (J. Thurston), and hates him, ex housemate Sam now gone back to the Czech Republic, put TWO holes in the hallway wall because of this Jehovah Witness wingnut, another housemate ripped this idiot Joesph Thurston a new asshole for stating sex offenders are exonerated from due process of criminal law because of religion, not in the USA dude, we wouldn't be surprised if this Thurston Jehovah Witness dude is an ex con whom doesn't work, has no social activities, hobbies or friends as we're wondering if he had/has any history of drug abuse or involvement with any drug trafficking at Meadobrook, because I'm straight edge, and I resent it, we'll call up URGENT.
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-I will upload a pic of him soon, so you can confront that behavior. \m/ -l-

NEURAXIS SPEAK TO "GREAT BLACK NORTH RADIO" ABOUT NEW RELEASE "ASYLON"

In a recent interview with "The Great Black North" Canadian Metal Radio Program, Neuraxis members Rob Milley and Alex Leblanc open up regarding some intimate details of their new album entitled Asylon, set to be released on February 15, 2011 on Prosthetic Records.

"We're
a great team", Rob remarks when asked how the band's dynamic has
changed since the latest lineup shuffle, which has seen the last
original member of the band leaving, with Rob left holding the reins of
the band. "The (new guys) worked really hard".

"This album is a result of what we've been living (in the last few
years)," Rob claims, regarding the atmosphere of the new material. "To be brutally honest, it's really fucking dark,
and really emotional."



"Everyone has said it really is the heaviest Neuraxis album ever." Alex adds.

"For the first time ever, after 10 times listening to my album, I'm not sick of it," Alex continues. "I can't stop listening."
The
guys seem to be very confident in the prowess of this upcoming album,
which sees the band exploring some darker emotions and concepts
throughout the album's lyrics, which in addition to the title track Asylon, will also feature such song titles as Savior and Destroyer, Left To Devour, and V.

The complete interview is available for streaming and downloading via The Great Black North's webblog at http://www.greatblacknorth.ca.

STRATOVARIUS DRUMMER JORG MICHAEL DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER



From the "GET WELL SOON" files, STRATOVARIUS drummer Jörg Michael has been diagnosed with cancer. FROM NOISECREEP: STRATOVARIUS keyboardist Jens Johansson penned an open letter to the Finnish band's fans, revealing some devastating news: drummer Jörg Michael has been diagnosed with cancer and has had his entire thyroid removed. Johansson stated that Michael is a consummate fighter and plans to kick cancer's ass. That's what we like to hear.

"I am afraid we have some quite terrible news," Johansson said in the letter. "News of the worst imaginable kind. It's about our friend and drummer Jörg Michael. Jörg has cancer."

He continued, "He recently discovered a lump on his neck, went to the doctor, they decided to operate and found what they call 'a malignant thyroid neoplasm.' They took out his whole thyroid just to have the best chance to get everything out. He will also have to undergo a regimen of radiotherapy. He is a fighter. We have all talked to him and it's clear that this guy is not down for the count. He and his team of German doctors are pissed off and ready to kick ass, and I would not want to be a little cancer cell on these guys' shit list. Believe me. Jörg and his family (and us guys in the band) found this out only last week, after the operation. Naturally we are all going between a lot of emotions -- sadness, worry, shock, confusion, even anger."

The prog titans have a lengthy tour planned with Helloween, which the skinsman will be unable to participate in, as he will be immersed in his recovery process. The shows will go on, which is something that Michael himself advocated.

The Stratovarius letter to fans finished on a note of positivity: "So it turns out that Stratovarius will do the first leg of the Helloween 'Seven Sinner' tour just as planned, only without Jörg behind the kit, but with Jörg very much as a motivator to us being there. Not one single date will be canceled or changed. Jörg wants to be back on the road with us again as soon as possible, depending on the therapy, but we are not making any promises. That one is up to powers even higher than Jörg Michael and his doctors. We will try to keep you somewhat updated.

Anyway, the most important thing is that they think they got all the bad stuff out and that the end result is that we just fix that sentence I wrote above. We will then say, 'Jörg had cancer. But he beat it."
FROM STRATOVARIUS:

Some bad news...

Dear Stratovarius fans, I am afraid we have some quite terrible news. News of the worst imaginable kind. It's about our friend and drummer Jörg Michael.

Jörg has cancer.

He recently discovered a lump on his neck, went to the doctor, they decided to operate, and found what they call "a malignant thyroid neoplasm". They took out his whole thyroid just to have the best chance to get everything out. He will also have to undergo a regimen of radiotherapy. He is a fighter. We have all talked to him and it's clear that this guy is not down for the count. He and his team of German doctors are pissed off and ready to kick ass, and I would not want to be a little cancer cell on these guys' shit list.. believe me.

Jörg and his family (and us guys in the band) found this out only last week, after the operation. Naturally we are all going between a lot of emotions, sadness, worry, shock, confusion, even anger.

As for Stratovarius, as you perhaps know there is a long tour coming up with Helloween, and with the surgery and therapy that will now follow there is no way Jörg can do the first part of the tour. For me personally (it's Jens writing this if you didn't figure it out) I at first felt quite hopeless about the tour, because I was so upset about all this news. But Jörg himself has been extremely clear that he does not want the band to cancel a single show because of this. In the end this is what made at least me feel better about going back hitting the road next week.

So, we have debated what to do for many days now. Jörg first suggested my brother Anders to do this November-December 2010 leg, but it turns out Anders will unfortunately be busy recording some record or other with that little indie cellar band of his called HammerFall. :o) After a lot of searching we found a guy that both can do it and didn't have other commitments: Alex Landenburg. He plays well, Jörg says he is a great guy (very important!) and he even started learning the set already before we even had decided what to do, which to me shows a lot of dedication. You can google Alex' name if you are curious.

So it turns out that Stratovarius will do the first leg of the Helloween Seven Sinner tour, just as planned, only not with Jörg behind the kit, but with Jörg very much as a motivator to us being there. Not one single date will be cancelled or changed. Jörg wants to be back on the road with us again as soon as possible depending on the thearapy, but we are not making any promises, that one is up to powers even higher than Jörg Michael and his doctors. We will try to keep you somewhat updated.


Anyway, the most important thing is that they think they got all the bad stuff out and that the end result is that we just fix that sentence I wrote above. We will then say:

Jörg cancer. But he beat it.

They have some of the best extreme bands in the history of extreme music and we are very honored to be apart of this. We are eager to join the ranks of the Nuclear Blast roster!"

To us, it's only fitting that after 10 years, it came time to make a few positive changes so that we could continue to create this insane form of music for you.

ANGELWITCH and LAWNMOWER DETH CONFIRMED FOR BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR 8/12-14, 2011 DERBY, UK




BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR set to take place 8/12-14, 2011 Derby, UK (ENGLAND) have confirmed the addition of ANGELWITCH and LAWNMOWER DETH..
FROM BOA PROMOTERS:

With the cold dark weather around us and the festive season around the corner, August 2011 may seem like a long way off, but BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR have just announced another two exclusive festival appearances in addition to the five already on offer. NWOBHM heroes ANGEL WITCH make their BLOODSTOCK debut on the SOPHIE this year. A name synonymous with the British metal scene in the 1980’s, ANGEL WITCH achieved legendary cult status that decade, with their legacy continuing long after their demise, having become highly influential, with Metallica even citing them as a major influence.

With interest in the band revived after the release of 2000’s “Resurrection” compilation, ANGELWITCH are now back on the scene, and continue to make waves with high profile support slots, and their eponymous song “Angel Witch” being featured on the Brutal Legend videogame. Now BLOODSTOCK can capture the magic of the NWOBHM scene with the appearance of one of it’s top names at BOA 2011.


Another blast from the past - although perhaps not as far back - and also making their BLOODSTOCK debut, comedy Thrashers LAWNMOWER DETH will join ANGELWITCH on the SOPHIE LANCASTER stage. Frontman/loon Qualcast Mutilator expresses his happiness at joining the BOA 2011 line up:

"How chuffed are we to be playing Bloodstock! The forums have been predicting this for several years, who says we don't listen. Well frankly we don't, I thought we were playing Woodstock, but hey, it’s a field, its full of metal, good enough for us. Bring on the party."

With classic such as “Weeble’s Wobble But They Don’t Fall Down”, “Can I Cultivate Your Groinal Garden” and “Satan’s Trampoline”, festival goers are in for a hilariously heavy treat, and possibly the first KIM WILDE cover in the festival’s history should they decide to unleash their only single “Kids In America”.

With MORBID ANGEL, RHAPSODY OF FIRE, TRIPTYKON, THERION and headliners IMMORTAL already confirmed for the main stage, BOA 2011 is set to be an unmissable event. What's more, early bird tickets are on sale now at the price of just 90 - rolled back from 99.95 - up to 15th December 2010 and are available from http://www.bloodstock.uk.com - get yours before this special offer runs out!

SOPHIE LANCASTER STAGE

Bloodstock's 3rd Stage was renamed "The Sophie Lancaster Stage" in 2009 and will continue to be so for 2010, this is due to the huge support shown by the Bloodstock fans and the message this represents. It is a fitting tribute to a young girl who was brutally attacked along with her boyfriend in 2007 while walking through her local park in Bacup, Lancashire. Sophie and her boyfriend were singled out not for anything they had said or done, but because they looked and dressed differently. Unfortunately Sophie later died in hospital following the injuries from this vicious and unprovoked attack.

Bloodstock organiser Paul Gregory said "It is our hope that renaming the stage will help to keep Sophie's memory alive and raise awareness to our society that this kind of brutal behaviour will not be tolerated".

DIABOLIC SEEKING NEW BASSIST/VOCALIST




Florida death metal warriors DIABOLIC have issued the following statement, following their appearance at “Goregrowler’s Ball IV”:
FROM DIABOLIC:
DIABOLIC original member, Bassist/Vocalist Paul Ouellette has been ousted from the band, due to his drunken and unprofessional behavior, and walking offstage mid-song during the band’s recent performance Fri, Nov 12 at “Goregrowler’s Ball IV” in San Antonio, TX. Many of our friends and fans know that this is not our first episode dealing with Paul’s drunken, often violent, destructive, and unprofessional behavior at shows. For DIABOLIC’s frontman to behave in this way is inexcusable and after several warnings, we have no choice; Paul has been removed permanently from the lineup, and is no longer a member of DIABOLIC.



DIABOLIC continued to play our next several songs and finished our set without vocals, and we would like to thank all of our friends and fans who stayed to show your support, during and after our set! Many of you have said how much you enjoyed our set even without vocals, and that you respect us for finishing our set, in spite of what happened. For that we say THANK YOU!! And thank you to “Goregrowler’s Ball” promoter, Aaron Mendiola (also vocalist of ENGAGED IN MUTILATING) for having us, and we look forward to the day when we can return to San Antonio, TX and bring you all DIABOLIC they way it was meant to be!!



Effective immediately, DIABOLIC are seeking a replacement Bassist/Vocalist. We are looking for pro gear, stage presence, and most importantly sick vocals and bass skills. We have a European Tour offer for 2011, so ability to tour is a must! Qualified applicants will live in or near the Tampa, FL area or willing to relocate. If you are interested and have what it takes, email aantar@diabolic-deathmetal.com

SUICIDAL TENDENCIES POSTPONE FALL U.S. TOUR


The BROOKLYN VEGAN reports that legendary crossover hardcore/thrash act SUICIDAL TENDENCIES have postponed the rest of the bands (last 5 shows) fall 2010 U.S. tour. SUICIDAL TENDENCIES have confirmed the postponement of the bands fall 2010 U.S. tour on the bands primary website.

FROM SUICIDAL TENDENCIES:
Sunday Night ST played NYC to 2000 Old and New School Cycos!
It's always great to hit the East Coast and catch up with alot of our friends/ bands/ family.
Unfortunately the NYC show will be the last show of this tour.
Sadly, one of the band members had a parent pass away suddenly and needed to fly home to be with his family in this difficult time and handle all the funeral arrangements, etc.
With heavy hearts, the band decided it would be best to postpone the remaining ST shows and make them up sometime next year. We appreciate your understanding, your thoughts and your prayers.
Please give us a few days and we will try and let those who already have tickets, how to get refunds, etc.
Again, we are so sorry to have to postpone these shows, but hope that everyone will be able to understand, and we'll do our best to make the dates up.

The cancelled dates include 11/17 in Chicago, 11/18 in Minneapolis, 11/20 in Denver, and 11/21 in Albequerque, NM.
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-

CHRISTIANS TRY TO STOP BLACK MASS FESTIVAL (11/27/2010- Sydney, Australia, Newtown, RSL)


TERRORIZER MAGAZINE and NUCLEAR WAR NOW PRODUCTIONS report that Christians are trying to stop the previously planned BLACK MASS FESTIVAL scheduled for 11/27/2010 Sydney, Australia, Newtown, RSL.
FROM TERRORIZER MAGAZINE:
On 27th November Sydney is playing host to it's own Black Mass Festival with Naxzul and a host of Australian black metal bands delivering their satanic sermons. But it seems that this has riled some of the local christians who are trying to stop the whole thing going ahead. So far the moral crusaders have contacted the venue - Shush at the Newtown RSL - and the booking agent directly with regards to stoping the show, but the venue and booking agent are not backing down and are happy to back the gig. Strike one for Satan. One of the ticket outlets , Le Cabinet des Curiosities, has also been subjected to phone calls asking questions such as will there be a real black mass and will there be sacrifices? No group has put their hand up to reveal where they are from or who they are but have always stated that "we are offended", strike two to Satan.
It's not only the venue and ticket outlet that have been targeted, Both Nazxul and Drowning the Light have received death threats along the lines of "what you are doing is wrong" and "if you play this show you will pay for it" and the straight out "you are as good as dead that night" and the anonymous do-gooders have apparently been monitoring metal forums on the internet to get information. There may well even be a righteous protest outside the gig on the night.
The last word on this is from the promoter, "Tickets have been flying out the door so I am sure it will be a great night and perhaps even better if the Christians come haha." Third and final strike to Satan.

DREAM THEATER INDUCTED INTO LONG ISLAND MUSIC HALL OF FAME: GUITARIST JOHN PETRUCCI COMMENTS ON INDUCTION


Long Island, New Yorkers DREAM THEATER have been inducted into the Long Island Music Hall Of Fame, guitarist JOHN PETRUCCI commented to ROADRUNNER RECORDS on the bands induction as ceremonies shall take place 11/16/2010.
FROM ROADRUNNER RECORDS and DREAM THEATER:
Dream Theater's John Petrucci: "It is a Tremendous Honor For Us To Be Inducted Into The Long Island Music Hall of Fame"
On Tuesday, November 16th, The Long Island Music Hall of Fame will hold it's official ceremony to induct this year's crop of talented musicians and industry insiders alike into it's hallowed halls. And standing alongside rock icon Lou Reed and hip-hop legends Eric B & Rakim are none other than Long Island, NY-born prog masters Dream Theater.

To explore what this honor bestowed upon the band means to them, especially in light of the celebration of their 25th anniversary, we checked in with DT's revered guitarist John Petrucci.

John tells Roadrunner, "It is a tremendous honor for us to be inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame. Having grown up on LI and having lived here for most of my life, it has a very special meaning to me. The roots of DT stem all the way back to my home town of King Park where John Myung and I spent countless hours writing and playing music together.

"Being part of a band with a 25 year history who went from playing the local Long Island clubs to headlining at the iconic Jones Beach Theater has been an amazing experience and the induction on Tuesday night is a great testament to that journey."

..OCEANO DEBUTS NEW VIDEO FOR "WEAPONIZED"

OCEANO have debuted their newest video for the CONTAGION track, "..Weaponized." This is the band's first video from their upcoming November 9th release and it was directed by Kevin J. Custer (TESTAMENT, HATEBREED, TOMBS, JUSTIN BIEBER). The video features explosive performance footage of the Chicago deathcore heavyweights acting as a counterpoint to a high tension situation that builds throughout the video.

Everyone involved in the making of the video put a lot of hard work into it. OCEANO frontman, Adam Warren recalls the shoot and is excited about how everything came together. "It was a very good shoot. It was put together quickly and efficiently. We had a very professional group of people working with us and they really did a good job of creating a visual experience to tie in with the story and overall themes for both the song as well as the album."

The group is also mapping out tour plans and has already confirmed several festival appearances.

Commented WHILE HEAVEN WEPT mainman Tom Phillips: "For the past 21 years, WHILE HEAVEN WEPT has been committed to two things: performing music that is sincerely from the heart, without any other boundary, and secondly, we have always strived to deliver the absolute best sounding albums that we could create at any given time, regardless of the changing landscape of the industry; insuring each release has the greatest production possible is paramount for us in terms of the clarity of expression, and additionally, we hope to offer the very best experience for those who take the time to listen. With this in mind, it made perfect sense for us to align with Nuclear Blast, who also have been committed to offering only the very best in the world of heavy metal. Through this partnership, we will surely be able to continue delivering the best productions possible while presenting our musical vision in a different arena, betraying neither our past nor our ideals.

"Nuclear Blast's support of our musical identity is truly an honor, and everyone who has stood by us all along these years need not worry; WHILE HEAVEN WEPT is what it is, and cannot be anything else. That said, we'll also never release the same album twice...everything stems from where we are in the moment emotionally and spiritually, so while the core elements/influences of the band have remained the same since our inception, we will continue to express ourselves in whatever way feels natural at the time. Expect the unexpected."

Added Nuclear Blast A&R representative Jaap Wagemaker: "Last year we were totally blown away by the release of the album 'Vast Oceans Lachrymose' (out on Cruz del Sur Music) from the U.S. genre-defining and genre-defying metal band WHILE HEAVEN WEPT! This album was for sure the surprise of the year and not only for us, but for every major metal publication in the world as well as their longtime fans too!

"Earlier this year the band played an amazing show at the Hammer Of Doom festival which has been captured on DVD / CD and will be released as 'Triumph:Tragedy:Transcendence' (again on Cruz del Sur Music). In the meantime, after months of talking with mastermind Tom Phillips, we are very happy to announce that WHILE HEAVEN WEPT has joined the Nuclear family!!

"WHILE HEAVEN WEPT — who have been an insider tip for many years — are taking the next step in their career and we can't wait to bring them to the next level!"

EMBRYONIC DEPRAVITY DISBAND


Permeated Records recording artists and British death metal warriors EMBRYONIC DEPRAVITY have after an indefinite hiatus, officially disbanded.

FROM EMBRYONIC DEPRAVITY:
It's probably about time we confirm some of the rumors that have been going
around and announce that we're not an active band anymore.

This
doesn't necessarily mean that the band will never surface again but we
definitely have no plans to continue working on it in the near future.

There
are a few reasons for this decision. We all have busy lives with jobs,
other musical projects, relationships and various other commitments. On
top of this we all have musical differences and the band is no longer
the cohesive unit it once was, and we don't want to push the music in a
direction that isn't true to the nature of Embryonic Depravity.

We've
had some great experiences with this band and want to thank everyone
who ever came to a show, bought CDs and merch, put us on gigs, tours
and festivals or generally had any contact with us over the last few
years.

As a kind of farewell, we've decided to stick another
song up on the page. But please check out our other various projects
(listed below).

We do still have some merch in stock so anybody
who's interested in ordering should still be able to get what they
want, but it may be a good idea to email us first to check quantities.
embryonicdepravity@gmail.com

Once again, cheers!

Embryonic Depravity
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
