ITP V.013 WORLD APOCALYPSE: ARTISTS AGAINST FRACKING UNLEASH ANTI FRACKING VIDEO

As New York State, USA governor ANDREW COUMO considers lifting a temporary ban on hydraulic  fracking, allowing corporate oil companies to engage in hydro fracking in upstate New York.

Hydraulic Fracking (hydraulic fracturing)  is the act of drilling (for oil) into the Earth using destructive chemicals that are known to poison water, cause man made Earth quakes, contaminate nearby rivers, streams, lakes and even oceans.

If you have not seen JOSH FOX's documentary "GASLAND", check it out: http://www.gaslandthemovie.com/

ARTISTS AGAINST FRACKING have unleashed a video with alot of familiar faces and artists stating
"Don't Frack Our Mother": https://www.facebook.com/ArtistsAgainstFracking

Don't let these oil companies frack your home state, sign this petition tell them, "Don't Frack our Mother (EARTH)": www.causes.com/banfracking

FROM CAUSES:BAN FRACKING:

Right now, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is considering lifting a temporary ban on fracking in New York. Lifting this temporary ban would threaten communities' health, pollute vital water sources, open up peoples' lands to gas exploration, and speed up global climate change. Communities across the country are watching to see if the Governor will stand with communities calling for a healthy environment or an industry determined to exploit New York's gas fields. What happens in New York is critical to the nationwide fight against fracking.
Realizing the fight New York's communities face, Yoko Ono and Sean Lennon started the Artists Against Fracking campaign, which has organized over nearly 200 of the world's biggest artists, musicians and filmmakers to raise public awareness about fracking to new levels. Now we're taking public awareness and turning it into public action to get fracking banned, starting in New York!
What is Fracking?
Hydraulic fracturing, also known as "fracking", is a new method of extracting natural gas and oil from rocks at depths from 2,000 to 10,000 feet. First, deep wells are drilled straight down through the aquifer. This drilling then curves horizontally below the earth's surface and into its shale rock formations. Next, millions of gallons of water laced with chemicals is injected at extremely high pressure into these rock formations, breaking apart the rock and freeing trapped methane along with other dangerous materials.
There are more than 27,000 wells in the US and each well uses 1-8 million gallons of water and 80-300 tons of chemicals each time it's fracked (wells can be fracked up to 8 times). However, only 4 states of the 31 that have major fracking projects have robust drilling rules in place. The fracking industry remains exempt from Clean Water, Safe Drinking Water and Clean Air Acts, hazardous waste disposal and other federal regulations.
Why New York?
New York, a bellwether state for natural gas development, is home to the marcellus shale, the type of rock formation that holds large reserves in natural gas. Many states with natural gas reserves are watching New York's decision on whether to lift the temporary ban. Lifting the ban instead of making it permanent would likely usher in a new era of gas drilling across the country. New York Governor Cuomo's decision on fracking will define his administration's clean energy policy. Let's help him make the right choice and turn New York into a clean energy state!


 FROM ARTISTS AGAINST FRACKING

Directors: Sarah Sophie Flicker, Maximilla Lukacs and Tennessee Thomas
Video Producer: Rebecca Fernandez
Editor: Maximilla Lukacs
The artists of Artists Against Fracking worked together to create this music video for "Don't Frack My Mother," Sean Lennon's very own anti-fracking anthem.

ITP V.013 UPDATE: MORE METAL NEWS, REVIEWS and METAL NEWS FEATURES WILL BE POSTED SOON


ITP  V.013 UPDATE:


Working on ITP V.013 NEWS FEATURES (yes, I really am, send me news and tour dates via FB) and personal stuff.

First of all, we don't cover emo, hard core, and we avoid nu metal and metal CORE, we avoid the mall CORE scene, so NO, go seek illumination else where.
ITP V.013 covers TROO METAL,. 
NOTES FROM THE EXTREME METAL UNDERGROUND will be post poned until a later date, not feeling well. I don't have time to write NFTEMU right now.

Some issues have come up in my life, until I confirm the scenario, if it's a substantial scenario worth worrying about regarding a few frauds and corruption, we'll see what happens.

However, if it is a substantial issue, a few will lose their jobs, and be arrested for their corruption, don't expect anything but arrests from me.
I don't like the bigotry of certain morons around me.



Yes, ITP V.013 REVIEWs (and other features) will return soon it's just I'm just working on the long belated  NOTES FROM THE EXTREME METAL UNDERGROUND and another project.

NO, I don't review unsigned bands very often, specifically locals in fact, NO, EARN THAT RIGHT, it's not a priority, because no one has heard of you, no incentive or interest past your one block radius lol.

ITP V.013 is working on NOTES FROM THE EXTREME METAL UNDERGROUND PART ONE (death, thrash and grind metal news and SPRING/EARLY SUMMER 2013 TOUR DATES as that will be posted sometime early MAY, sorry I'm busy. 





As ITP stated last week, ITP REVIEWS and NEW FEATURES depends upon TIME, and all ITP REVIEWS, (a month after posting, sans the MUSIC) will be licensed CREATIVE COMMONS from now on. 
BTW, CREATIVE COMMONS does not waive an artists or writers rights to copy write, I could and maybe will copy write ITP V.09-V.013 reviews ect. as CREATIVE COMMONS modifies copyright, under flexibility, for sharing info.



Also, ITP V.013 NEWS FEATURES NOTES FROM THE EXTREME METAL UNDERGROUND (death, thrash and grind metal news and 2013 tour dates), DAMNED IN BLACK (black metal news and   SPRING/EARLY SUMMER 2013 rituals) and HUMANITY IS DOOMED (Traditional, stoner, death, funeral doom and experimental metal news and 2013 SPRING EARLY SUMMER/

HYPOCRISY: Forced to Sit Out North American Tour, ABORTED CANCEL OUT OF ARSIS, KRISIUN,STARKILL and AUTUMN’S END NORTH AMERICAN TOUR

Swedish death metal warriors HYPOCRISY and Belgium grind core warriors ABORTED have announced the band has cancelled out of their spring 2013 NORTH AMERICAN tour with KRISIUN, ARSIS, STARKILL and AUTUMN’S END citing VISA issues.


HYPOCRISY unleashed  "End Of Disclosure",  3/22/2013 (EU), 4/2/2013 (NORTH AMERICA) via NUCLEAR BLAST.





FROM ARSIS: 
While Hypocrisy is forced to sit out the upcoming North American tour...as they say, the show must go on!

ARSIS and rest of bands will continue with tour. We hope to see you there. Upcoming tour dates at http://on.fb.me/arsistour


FROM HYPOCRISY:

HYPOCRISY have been forced to sit out the upcoming North American tour this May due to reasons beyond their control. The band members had received their visa approvals and everything was going as scheduled, until the embassy let them know that the earliest they could pick up their visas, get them stamped and so on, wasn't until late June at the earliest. A regular procedure that would normally take just a few days to sort, takes much longer at the moment due to that current workload Homeland Security is experiencing.

“As we were getting ready to go get our visas stamped and ready for the tour we were informed that the earliest we could go initially was sometime in July,” explains guitarist/vocalist Peter Tägtgren.“We then immediately continued to call them, got the label to help with some letters, and put our lawyer to work etc. The best that got us was an appointment in late June. This is a HUGE blow to us, to our fans and everyone who has supported HYPOCRISY in North America. Sometimes there are battles you can’t win, and this is one of them. We will be back, I can promise that!”

The trek was also initially set to feature Brazilian brothers in death KRISIUN,Belgian gore-grindersABORTED, and technical-melodic-death-masters ARSIS,as well as AUTUMN’S END and STARKILL on select shows. The tour will continue as previously scheduled at this time minus HYPOCRISYand ABORTED.




FROM ABORTED: 
Unfortunately rumors are true. We were forced to pull out of our north american tour with hypocrisy,krisiun and arsis. Due to reasons beyond control, hypocrisy were not able to receive their us visas in time and had to pull out. We only found out 3 days ago and were sharing transport with hypocrisy. Being this close to the start of tour finding an affordable method of transportation and a driver was a near impossible task, making it impossible for us to still make it. We are extremely disapointed as we were very excited to make it back out to the us for our fans and share the stage on this great line up. We had flights booked. Visas processed and everything good to go so when the news hit it came as a shock. This cost us several thousands of dollars out of our own pockets and continueing would cost us even more money which we simply dont have. We apologise to the fans and are already looking for a replacenent tour in the near future. Krisiun and arsis are still doing the tour and we urge you all to still go and support them. All the bands here are victims in this of bureaucratic procedures so no need to point fingers. We are all as broken by this as anyone else.
