Update! NOT HAPPY DAYS RELATED.
So I have decided to officially open my own label.it is called Pale Vein Productions and I have decided to go on this endeavor to help lesser known but amazing bands get some sort of spotlight and recognition they deserve. I will be producing merch as well for whichever bands I decide to sign. For now I will mostly stick with CD and tshirt pressing but should this become more and more successful then maybe in the future vinyls could be an option as well. This is a huge risk as i am fully aware how expensive it is to run a label but life's too short to not at least try and give it a shot. I will be signing black metal,Death Metal,Shoegaze and post rock bands. Yes I am now accepting band submissions too. If anyone is interested please submit your demos or albums or songs to and please give the page a follow and share it around. Im very proud to finally being able to make this happen. Really looking forward to hearing new music. More news coming soon! Submissions can be sent also to the email at pale.vein.productions@gmail.com
Polish thrash metal warriors ABUSER have posted "PAINBRINGER", a track from the bands anticipated debut release "BLOOD MARKS", due to be unleashed 5/7/2026 via XTREEM MUSIC.
FROM XTREEM MUSIC:
ABUSER 3rd single: new video & pre-order for new album!!
Polish thrashers ABUSER return in full force with “Painbringer”, the third and final advance single, delivered as a visualizer video. A direct hit of fast, aggressive, no-holds-barred Thrash Metal.
The track serves as a preview of their highly anticipated debut album “Blood Marks”, set for release on May 7th through Xtreem Music on CD and digital formats. A record built to tear everything apart with razor-sharp riffs, relentless speed, and an uncompromising old-school attitude.
ABUSER was formed in Wroclaw (Poland) in 2018, the band has built a reputation in the underground for their violent, no-mercy approach to Thrash Metal, first revealed with their 2019 demo released on cassette by Destruktion Records.
After a forced hiatus, ABUSER returned in late 2023 with a complete lineup and a renewed hunger for destruction. Throughout 2025, the band focused on forging their debut full-length album, sharpening their sound into a relentless weapon of speed, aggression, and raw intensity.
In December 2025, ABUSER officially signed with Xtreem Music, sealing the deal for the release of their debut album “Blood Marks”. Featuring 10 tracks of fast, furious, and savage Thrash Metal inspired by Morbid Saint, Demolition Hammer, Sadus, Dark Angel, and Kreator, “Blood Marks” will be unleashed on May 7th, 2026, on CD and digital formats.
A new threat has entered the Thrash Metal underground. Expect no mercy.
Tracklist for "Blood Marks" is as follows:
01. Cry of the Innocent
02. Suspended in Torture
03. Blood Marks
04. Painbringer
05. Fin de Siécle
06. Monument of Atrocity
07. Struggling for Reality
08. Lethal Obsession
09. Abuser
10. Witnessing Madness
Release date for "Blood Marks" will be May 7th, 2026 through Xtreem Music on CD & Digital formats.

** (two stars)=somewhere between mediocre and SUKETH
* 1/2 (1 1/2 stars)= SUKETH (this release SUCKS)

BTW, we're straight edge, and we don't like drug addicts. All sources are attributed, there are NO illegal downloads here. Please support music and not rumors. 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 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 is NOT associated with DEATH (Although I'm a fan) ITP V.020 is NOT a DEATH fan site, as ITP V.021 is a extreme metal news portal/blog for and about extreme metal.
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/
