NO MALLCORE, NO METAL CORE, NO CORE, NO HIPSTERS.FREEDOM FOR UKRAINE
A leading force of the early nineties Black Metal scene and revered as one of the genre’s most influential and pioneering acts, 𝗕𝗘𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗧 offers Australia their first ever, and only ever shows, this December. Formed in 1989 by 𝘕𝘶𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘏𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘰 𝘝𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦, 𝗕𝗘𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗧 quickly gained a reputation for their raw, unfiltered sound and blasphemous themes, laying the foundation for the atmospheric and ritualistic side of black metal. Their music ranges from savage and chaotic to deeply meditative, embodying both the aggression and mysticism of the genre. The unrelenting vision and willingness to experiment have secured their place as legends in the extreme metal underground.
𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗔𝗟 is a twisted vision, with a multitude of horror scapes seen through a distorted lens of filth. Elaborate darkness weaved into masses of Death Metal in its own antiquity of sonic violence and perpetuating the mythos self-created. The henchmen within this brood pledge to open up it’s gates to feed upon mortal terror, a duty to destroy the senses and sanity.
Australian technical, brutal death metal warriors REVULSED have announced the band has officially broken up..
REVULSED have
posted the bands anticipated new release "CEREBRAL CONTAMINATION", unleashed 12/15/2023

REVULSED have
announced MARK SMITH (BASS) and SHELDON D'COSTA (GUITAR) have left the
band.
FROM REVULSED:
Hello all,
Well, the day has finally come, Damien and I thought it was high time to make the the unfortunate announcement that Revulsed has officially come to an end.
Without a permanent guitar or bass player, we were never capable of continuing at the level we had for the last 15 years. We wish to take the opportunity to firstly thank the very talented members of the Revulsed family over the years, Sheldon D'Costa, Konstantin Lühring, Mark Smith and Adam Wilkie, your contributions made Revulsed what it was and we love and appreciate you.
Also, a massive thank you to Stefan, Dennis and Permeated Records, Tito, Giorgio and Everlasting Spew Records and Deni and Brutal Mind.
Thank you also to the incredible Pär Olofsson, Daemorph, Aditia Wardhana, Rudi Yanto, Steve Crow and Toto Torture for creating the visuals and artwork of Revulsed. Also Jamie Bartee for lyrical contribution. Not forgetting the awesome Jason De Ron for his fantastic production and engineering skills.
The Revulsed bandcamp store will remain open and continue to fulfill orders until all physical stock is sold out. After which the digital downloads will still be available.
After I left InExordium, I wanted to create a death metal band that was truly world class and carried an intelligent and thought provoking lyrical subject matter that pointed to The Divine. I thank Yeshua for my time in Revulsed. His Holy Blood and Perfect Sacrifice is the only answer to the horrors of this sick and twisted world.
So, now, it's time to welcome a new chapter, Damo and I will continue to work together into the future and we both look forward to the journey that lies ahead.

"A Frail Becoming" unleashed 10/9/2012 via CANDLELIGHT RECORDS
FROM DAYLIGHT DIES:
DAYLIGHT DIES DISBANDS — Although our last album was released in 2012, we held out hope that we’d eventually manage to create another album worthy of our extremely high standards. Despite a pandemic actually bringing some of us closer together, life events and their aftermath ended up making it even more of a challenge. Barre has decided, for his own mental clarity, to leave. Daylight Dies is the result of a rare alchemy between songwriters who pushed each other past what any of us would have settled for alone, and Barre was an important part of that. As such, we have decided to disband rather than continue on in an altered form. Music from us will continue within our other projects.
I am profoundly grateful to our fans and all those who supported us through the years. Thank you for an unforgettable journey, and I hope the music continues to resonate for years to come.

ITP recommends that readers are 18 and up, we are not responsible for raising your kids.
I don't like people whom don't respect the metal genres, or ME following me on or offline, stalking or menacing me, any obsessions, or neighbors looking to fight, or make a delusional conspiracy theory out of nothing, so I will take legal action to define a boundary with posers and bullies. These bullies are NOT allowed at our or any metal shows.

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/
