FROM SARDONIC WITCHERY:
SARDONIC WITCHERY - TOUR UPDATE
After careful consideration, SARDONIC WITCHERY has decided to withdraw from the upcoming September 2026 US tour with BESATT.
With the tour now only two weeks away, our flights have still not been purchased, and unfortunately there has also been a lack of communication and clarity regarding the organization of the tour.
Under these circumstances, we have decided that it is better for us to step away from the US dates now, while there is still time for the tour to be reviewed and reorganized.
We have already spoken directly with our brothers in BESATT about the situation. They completely understand our decision and the circumstances behind it, and we sincerely appreciate their understanding and support.
This was not an easy decision, especially because we were looking forward to sharing the stage and the road again with our brothers in BESATT. However, we believe this is the right decision for SARDONIC WITCHERY, rather than continue with uncertainty so close to the tour.
We sincerely apologize to everyone who was looking forward to seeing us on these US dates and to everyone who had already made plans around the shows.
IMPORTANT - MEXICO DATES CONFIRMED
Our Mexico dates are NOT canceled and remain confirmed:
OCTOBER 30 — BLACK OBSIDIAN FEST — CDMX
OCTOBER 31 — LEÓN, GUANAJUATO
The Mexico shows will go ahead as planned, and our flights will be purchased by the Mexican promoter this weekend.
We thank everyone for your understanding and continued support. We hope to see you all in Mexico and on future SARDONIC WITCHERY US shows in 2027!

Pantheist unveil full details of new album ‘Uncanny Times’ and premiere “The Final Journey”
Atmospheric doom masters Pantheïst have revealed the full details of their highly anticipated new album, ‘Uncanny Times’, set for release on October 30, 2026 via Argonauta Records. The album will be available as a deluxe double vinyl, CD and digital release, marking the band’s next major statement in their ongoing exploration of darkness, transcendence and the human condition.
Alongside the album announcement, Pantheist have unveiled the first track from ‘Uncanny Times’, “The Final Journey”, accompanied by an evocative new lyric video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPtUlZBxOnQ
According to Pantheist:
“The Final Journey is the track which set the tone of the whole album in motion. I wrote the music 15 years ago and then shelved it straight away in the hope I would find a vocalist who is worthy of singing it at some point in the future. My prayers were heard with Linda joining the band about a decade and a half later (you need to be very patient when you play doom metal). Once the lyric was written after a deep philosophical conversation with my friend Ricardo in Panama, the first and most decisive step towards ‘Uncanny Times’ was made with this huge, epic album opener.”
Built around a composition that had been waiting for its moment for fifteen years, “The Final Journey” became the catalyst for the album that followed. Epic, solemn and deeply atmospheric, the track opens ‘Uncanny Times’ with a sense of scale that perfectly introduces the journey through the record’s six compositions.
‘Uncanny Times’ tracklist:
The Final Journey
Laughing Falcon
Kuebiko
Entropy
Ithaca Out of Sight
Requiem for your World
With ‘Uncanny Times’, Pantheist continue to push the boundaries of atmospheric and funeral doom, embracing a vast, immersive sound where monumental heaviness meets reflection, melancholy and existential themes.
‘Uncanny Times’ will be released on October 30, 2026 via Argonauta Records on deluxe double vinyl, CD, digital formats and a label exclusive FAN EDITION ltd 100, preorders are up:

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 REVIEWS are independent of record labels and others, record labels nor anyone can not censor ITP reviews, making a distinction between Public Relations, advertising as reviews are independent via ITP and have to be independent of record labels..
Censorship regarding issues of denial will NOT be tolerated from anyone nor individuals, sites, as they will be legally liable for slander and defamation of character in a lawsuit.

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/
