STARKILL unleashed "VIRUS OF THE MIND", 10/14/2014 via CENTURY MEDIA RECORDS.

FROM STARKILL:

NEW SINGLE. NEW ALBUM. 

Our brand new single & music video for “Death On Display” is live right now! This is just the opening salvo—our new full-length album, Hanging Up My Halo, officially drops on January 22nd.

"With this new cycle, we wanted to take everything people expect from Starkill—the blisteringly fast dual-guitar work, symphonic arrangements, and impactful choruses—and strip away any clutter to hit harder than ever." — Parker

"There’s been a gap in the melodic death metal scene for years, and we’re back to plant our flag in it. We’ve been sitting on some of this material for the better part of a decade, writing and rewriting until every track can stand on its own. To that end, ‘Death On Display’ is absolutely brutal." — Spencer

 Watch the video, stream the single, & pre-order Hanging Up My Halo here:

More bands for MASS DESTRUCTION FESTIVAL 2026 T.B.A.

FROM MASS DESTRUCTION FESTIVAL 2026 PROMOTERS:

RITUAL BUTCHERER, LORD ANGELSLAYER, GOAT AGGRESSOR, & ABORYM MORTUUS DENIED VISA BY U.S. GOVERNMENT.

The United States Government has denied the visa petition submitted for Archgoat. This is the first petition denial we’ve faced.

For those unfamiliar, inviting metal legends from all over the world involves applying for visas. In previous years it has been daunting, but always approved. Our legal council submitted an extensive petition with premium processing, provided all the necessary documentation, and evidence supporting the petition. 

And yet, here we are.

It is difficult to reconcile a decision like this with the reality of a band that has spent decades building an international career and has already performed extensively in the United States.

Archgoat will not be at Mass Destruction this November.

We will be extending the sets of other bands performing on Friday November 6th

Mass Destruction Metal Fest
November 6-7, 2026

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.
