GENE PALUBICKI (ANGELCORPSE): INTERVIEWED BY INTO THE NECROSPHERE

 May be an image of guitar and text

 

 

 GENE PALUBICKI  of  ANGELCORPSE was recently interviewed by INTO THE NECROSPHERE.. 

 

 

ANGELCORPSE unleashed "Of Lucifer and Lightning", 5/4/2007 via OSMOSE PRODUCTIONS.
 

 

 

FROM INTO THE NECROSPHERE: 

 

This week I’m joined by the legendary Gene Palubicki, the guitarist and driving force behind Angelcorpse, Perdition Temple, Hexorcist and Malefic Throne, to talk about his decades-long career in extreme metal and his refusal to stand still creatively. We get into the mid-’90s period when, in Gene’s words, death metal started to go soft, the creation and enduring impact of Angelcorpse, the importance of ignoring genre boundaries and outside expectations, his prolific approach to songwriting, and the excellent new Hexorcist album, “Crucificial Implications”.
Then it’s on to The Weekly News Rant, where I’m joined by the sinister minister himself, Karl Haikara. We weigh in on the latest developments around My Dying Bride and Nevermore, and discuss our favourite albums of all time. We also round up the latest tracks from Power From Hell, Srpnts, Nova Novae Militiae, Atomic Aggressorr and Hail Conjurer for judgement, while getting sidetracked into everything from the decline of physical-release extras to a head-to-head comparison of cover recordings of Venom’s “In League With Satan.”
Plus: West Yorkshire extremists, Soul Grief, take a bow on the Unsanctioned Filth segment with their latest single, The Misosophist.
Out now on all digital platforms.

THE ART OF BLOGGING: ITP'S AUTHOR IS NOT DEADNAMING

ITP V.026
Image by Cool Text: Free Logos and Buttons - Create An Image Just Like This


 

 

 FROM A POSTER ON BLUESKY: Hang on, it seems I scanned a list of articles relating to Judicator and mistook them for the new one. She hadn't publicly transitioned when she initially left. My mistake.

 

 ITP'S author is very busy today and tomorrow as Tuesday are usually slow news days. There will be limited posts today. 

 

A few annoyances about MUSIC BLOGGING. 

Depending on the algorithm, ITP's author gets band and label posts and press releases from FACEBOOK and INSTAGRAM.  

Big bands have announced tours without posting the dates on FACEBOOK and posts illegible flyers instead. BLABBERMOUTH (whom are literally PAID to blog) has connections in the industry and posts the dates. 

Please post your full tour intermarry. 

Record labels that don't post release dates. TRANSCENDING OBSCURITY RECORDS is a great record label with a great roster but they rarely posts the release dates of their offerings. The BAM I see the album on YOU TUBE and there it is. 

Please post release dates and if the release dates change, post on FACEBOOK about that.  

About the rise of  female and female fronted bands in metal. Female fronted is not really a genre however it's great for metal. I don't mention if a band is "female" or "male fronted". If I post a video of the band you'll find our.I also don't mention if a band is male fronted  unless they are a one man and woman project.Only if a female member of band is my friend on FACEBOOK and posts something interesting would I even mention there name. 

For the record ITP's author is black, lesbian and FEMALE..ITP's author is NOT TRANSPHOBIC or HOMOPHOBIC..

ITP's author doesn't  care about the race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, sexuality or gender identity of a band or artist, If the musics good, I'll post it. 

In fact, I don't mention band members names unless they change their lineup, or are friends with me on FACEBOOK and posts something interesting. I only mention the band name and where there from.  

Most gay and transgendered recording artists have come out in interviews as those stories were originally broken by BLABBERMOUTH.NET. I don't mention if an artist is gay or transgendered unless they come out publicly.ITP is NOT TMZ and doesn't OUT gay and transgendered artists unless they WANT to come out publicly. ROB HALFORD of JUDAS PRIEST came out in an interview.long before ITP existed. 

I also don't mention the race of an artist..   

If an artist is coming out as transgendered (or gay) and is changing there name, POST A PRESS RELEASE from either the band or the artist.  I don't know band members of said band personally and have no idea what there gender identity is. 

If you change your bands lineup, SEND A PRESS RELEASE preferably on FACEBOOK and through your record label.

While I won't mention the bands name, PROSTHETIC RECORDS have not posted a press release about any lineup changes,  transgendered members coming out, name changes or anything.    

 Lastly, ITP's author is NOT DEADNAMING. ITP'S author has NO IDEA what the gender identity of band members are unless they come out publicly as transgendered like MINA CAPUTO of LIFE OF AGONY did, as that was originally broken by BLABBERMOUTH. 

ITP's author did NOT post and does not post articles of bands, the most I would link to an article.  

I did NOT, and do NOT  mention individual band members names unless they are my friends on FACEBOOK and post something interesting. 

In my posts about bands I mention the band name, and where there from, the song, release date and title..   

While I'm not that big of a LIFE OF AGONY fan, I supported MINA CAPUTO  when she came out as transgendered. . 

 I try to keep up with the LGBTQ community if an artist wants to be referred to as he, she, they, but they would have to send a press release to clarify that..

YES, BLUESKY is a fairly new syndicate for ITP, ITP only posts her blog ITP on there and only knows readers by their screenames. I don't have the time to socialize with anyone online. 

When I was on  AOL ,  we all knew each other and went to shows together. 

Learn to promote your band..As I've said on the disclaimer on this blog, ITP is NOT your PR, BOOKING AGENT, NOR MANAGER.   

ITP V.026 has long supported marriage equality and is one of the most GAY FRIENDLY bloggers, so don't burn that bride.  

I did NOT mention said band members name as no press release was posted. If  you changed your name or stage name send a press release. 

Don't forget to update your METAL ARCHIVES, even if you're releasing a re recording or stand alone single.  

FROM GOOGLE: 

 

Deadnaming is the act of calling or referring to a transgender or non-binary person by a former name—such as a birth name or given name—that they no longer use. [1, 2]
Key Details About Deadnaming
  • Intent: It can happen by accident or on purpose, but both instances can cause emotional pain or distress. [1]
  • Impact: Using an old name invalidates a person's gender identity, disrespects their autonomy, and can harm their mental health or trigger trauma. [1, 2]
  • Safety Risks: Deadnaming can risk outing a person as transgender to others without their consent, which can threaten their physical safety. [1, 2]

FROM DARK FUNERAL: 

 

DARK FUNERAL ARE READY FOR THE STUDIO!
Lord Ahriman & Heljarmadr have officially completed the songwriting for the long-awaited 8th Dark Funeral studio album!
After years of work and countless hours of writing, rewriting, arranging and pushing every song to where it needs to be, the foundation for the next dark chapter of Dark Funeral is finally complete.
There’s still some fine-tuning to be done, but we’ll leave that for the studio.
What we can say for now is that the new album will be unmistakably Dark Funeral, while taking another step forward on our journey.
As soon as we complete our tour in October with Dimmu Borgir and Behemoth, we’ll head straight into Fascination Street Studios to finally record this beast once and for all.
And while we prepare for what comes next, make sure to check out our recently released live album, “A Beast To Praise”, out now worldwide through Century Media Records. The response from press and media has been incredible!
THE EIGHTH CHAPTER IS COMING.

BLUE SQUARE ANTI HATE CAMPAIGN EDITORIAL: :

 No photo description available.

 

Happy Labor Day btw, today is a slooow news day and I have things to do today. 

This journal entry will turn into an editorial about hate in all forms coming from both nazis national socialists and the black community.

 

New England Patriots owner ROBERT KRAFT founded the Blue Square anti hate campaign as it aired during the Super Bowl..The commercial still airs today as it features a black student comforting a white Jewish victim of hate. 

Remember, both the black and white community are in the same boat and are victims of hate from National Socialists... .

MISANTHROPIC ART: "FCK AFD! FCK FASCISM"

 May be an illustration of text that says 'Sight Sascism 161 ኢፖክስሽልል Back then & again today!'

 MISANTHROPIC ART has a message for fascists..

 

.  Far right AFD won in Saxony, Germany. 

 

 

 

 

 

FROM MISANTHROPIC ART:

  

Here's a message to not only the people who voted for the return of fascism in Germany yesterday but to all who share that deranged disgusting mindset: FCK AFD! FCK FASCISM!
…and to all the bands, labels, organizers, distros, artists, fans etc. who don’t support fascism: Now is not the time to claim to be “a-political” just because you think being vocal is too inconvenient. Now is the time to stand open against fascism!
Embrace our diverse multicultural society: Fight fascism! They did it back then, we can do it again today!
