If you're a metal head you've probably never heard of rapper MACKLEMORE. ITP's author doesn't know much about his music either. . However, in the metal scene,you will be hearing from ED SHEERAN as he is due for a collaboration with British, gothic, black metal warriors CRADLE OF FILTH.
After a pretty tame pro Palestinian speech at New Jersey's MET LIFE STADIUM, New England Patriots owner ROBERT KRAFT banned MACKLEMORE from GILLETTE STADIUM (BOSTON) and organized a boycott of other U.S.A. stadiums..ED SHEERAN was forced to kick MACKLEMORE off the bill.
ITP V.026 EDITORS NOTE: Sounds like censorship to me. I saw the video for MACKLEMORE's speech in New Jersey, nothing anti Semitic was said.
wow. I don't even listen to hip hop and barely know this artist. He didn't say anything anti Semitic. Unfortunately, post holocaust, Israel has done to Palestinians what the Nazis did to the Jews. It's possible to support Jewish safety and the Palestinian people without supporting terrorism.
I'm disappointed in the leadership in Israel and Palestine. Apartheid needs to end and Israel and Palestine must learn to live together in peace.
Support of the people of Palestine does not automatically make one antisemitic.
FROM CONSEQUENCE:
Patriots owner Bob Kraft has released a statement addressing his decision to block Macklemore from performing with Ed Sheeran at Gillette Stadium, a move that ultimately led Sheeran to drop Macklemore from his tour.

"GOD IS DEAD, HELLALUYA"-VADER
"You are your own God, I am my own God"-VEHEMENCE
This is an OFFLINE issue and not online issue.
Yesterday, while I was taking a shower, I heard someone yelling threats about my blog. I wish you would yell threats to my face, I would arrest you for criminal trespass, stalking and you would be safer behind bars.
After I finished my shower, I went outside to smoke a cigarette and I heard him again. I looked for him.
This past weekend, just sitting on the porch, I heard someone complain that my blog is not "CHRISTIAN".
That's right motherfuckers ITP is NOT CHRISTIAN and the blog is NOT a religious blog..
BLOGSPOT is NOT a religious server..
ITP does not promote Christian bands nor Christian Contemporary metal/rock.
ITP's author is a ATHEIST/AGNOSTIC and doesn't subscribe to any religion, doesn't believe in God.
There are individual bands members that are christian and catholic in bands promoted on ITP :
TOM ARAYA (SLAYER) CATHOLIC, DAVE MUSTAINE (MEGADETH) CHRISTIAN, DAVID ELLEFSON (EX MEGADETH) CHRISTIAN, AS I LAY DYING (CHRISTIAN)., KLAYTON (CIRCLE OF DUST, CELLDWELLER,) were signed to a religious label REX RECORDS that folded, bought his copy write back and reissued his music.
However, some of the Christians in metal have been badly behaved. AS I LAY DYING vocalist was caught by an undercover trying to pay someone to kill his wife and served time in prison. AS I LAY DYING's vocalist was so abusive towards his second wife his bandmates left.I really don't like metal core anyway.
DAVID ELLEFSON, a pastor, formerly of MEGADETH was caught on video jacking off with a young fan.ELLEFSON was kicked out of MEGADETH..
So I don't promote AS I LAY DYING anymore. ..
Most bands on ITP are PAGAN, SATANIC or atheist.
ITP's author is none of those religions.
The most interesting religions are PAGANISM, WICCAN and BUDDHISM.
To each their own.
Other than I don't believe in God, I have inveserated right wing, homophobic Christians specifically over gay marriage, as ITP's author is pro choice.
I've protested and written scathing journal entries about religious group WBC.
don't come to my door and ask me to pray with you or come to your church. Go Away.
However, I have gone to soup kitchens, food pantries and community dinners in churches and Synagogues, as I was there for the food.
I believe people have a right to practice their religion safely.
The only thing interesting in the bible is the ten commandments, the rest is hilarious fantasy.
.You don't have to be religious or Christian to be on BLOGSPOT or to have a rental, I don't live in a religious institution.
BLABBERMOUTH.NET sometimes promotes Christian or religious bands like STRYPER (whom are surprisingly still together). Go there for religious hard rock metal. ..
Certain bands in the hardcore scene are christian, but I don't like hardcore.. .
ITP HATES contemporary christian rock music and finds it redundant and cheesy.
I respect peoples rights to religion although they have to respect the rights of Atheists, Agnostics and other religions like PAGANISM and is silly as it is SATANISM.
Yes, SATANISM is a religion. .
The reason why ITP inverts the cross during her signature is to let people know that's she's NOT religious. . .
If you're a religious wingnut, nazi,. homophobe, or butt hurt you're being sued for slander and defamation of character by ITP , FUCK OFF and DON'T FOLLOW this journal.
You can NOT censor ITP to control the narrative regarding slander and defamation of character.
Go play in your own sandbox. , .

The New York football GIANTS beat the DALLAS COWBOYS 28-20.
The New York Giants secondary needs a little help as they accrued pass interference penalties. the New York Giants defense, while not dominating , did what they didn't do last year is stop the run.
I think the New Giants held the DALLAS COWBOYS to only 60 yards rushing.
The New York Giants quarterback JAXON DART had a good game.

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada based death, grind, metal warriors EGREGORE have posted "SIX DOORS GUARD THE ORIGINAL KNOWLEDGES", a track from the bands anticipated new release "IT ECHOES IN THE WILD", unleashed 3/20/2026 via 20 BUCK SPIN.
EGREGORE have posted the bands anticipated new release "IT ECHOES IN THE WILD", unleashed 3/20/2026 via 20 BUCK SPIN.
EGREGORE have posted "EXFILTRATING THE TRIANGLE" , a track from the bands anticipated debut release "THE WORD OF HIS LAW", unleashed 4/15/2022 via 20 BUCK SPIN.
FROM EGREGORE
"Here
we find ourselves, among the Canadian miscreants Egregore whereupon
they return from whence the wind howls like a damned choir and the Earth
knows no master, to chart a broader sonic wilderness via ‘It Echoes In
The Wild’. And much as sea-rogues and freebooters sought fortune upon
blackened waters, so too does Egregore venture musically into diabolic
and ungoverned lands.
Presenting
something more expansive, elemental and untamed on ‘It Echoes In The
Wild’, the early occult Black Death Metal lunacy embraces atmospheric
breadth equally alongside primitive force to delve deep into not only
geographic wilds, but the psychological, esoteric and spiritual
hinterlands at the edges of complete madness. Dark invocations and
secret tongues draw forth echoes from forest and fen, cave and cliff,
tempting the temporally tethered to receive the curse, all the while
driven by a primal, unknowable sardonic menace.
Though
the voyage be perilous, to succumb to ‘It Echoes In The Wild’ is to
become ensconced in a lawless dominion of the soul in service of a
higher call. Mirroring nature’s unbridled forces and the hidden echoes
that dwell within, Egregore’s second album takes the band’s mystical
insanity and magickal perversion to the edge of the abyss and plunges
forward."
