FROM VOIVOD:

This year has been a hard one for the Voivod family. At the start of the year, we learned that E-Force, who fronted the band in the 90s, has been fighting prostate cancer, and he is still out there on the road with us, filling in for Snake with everything he has. Snake is home at the side of his partner Christine, who is bravely facing colorectal cancer. They are in our hearts every single day.

And now cancer has struck our family once more. Carol Langevin, brother of our drummer Michel "Away" Langevin, is fighting pancreatic cancer at 60. A GoFundMe has been set up to support Carol and his loved ones through treatment and the hard road ahead.

If you can donate, every contribution counts, no matter the size. If you cannot, please share this post. It truly makes a difference.

For more than 40 years, this community has shown us what solidarity means. Let's show Carol, and the whole family, what the Iron Gang can do.

Thank you for your love and support.

Voivod

Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-

Canadian power metal band THE SCEPTER performed a private show for hospitalized heavy metal fan TIM BERRY..

THE SCEPTER unleashed "SHADOWS IN THE TOWER". 7/24/2026 via NO REMORSE RECORDS.

FROM LAMBGOAT:

Canadian power metal band The Scepter performed a private concert at Bruyère Health in Ottawa for 27-year-old metal fan Tim Berry.

Tim Berry, who faces significant medical challenges, had dreamed of attending a heavy metal concert but was medically unable to do so.

Staff at Bruyère Health worked with local venue Dominion Tavern to bring the show directly to him, staging a free performance in a board room with sound, lighting, and equipment donated.

Hospital staff helped Berry get ready, painting his nails black and dressing him in a metal shirt.

Several other patients were also able to attend the performance.

The Scepter guitarist Josh Collins described the set as an emotional experience, telling CTV News Ottawa, "We were happy to have our sunglasses on."

Bruyère Health clinical chaplain Roshene Lawson added, "I had nurses coming up to me after and hugging me and tearing up and saying, 'I'm so glad Tim got to have this.'"

Bruyère Health shared: "Sometimes the best medicine is a little live music."

When a patient shared his dream of experiencing a heavy metal concert, our team worked with some incredible community partners to make it happen right here at Bruyère Health.

HUGE thanks to our teams, @dominiontavern and @thesceptermetal!

Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-

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..

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/ -l- ***To experience ITP at it's fullest capabilities you'll need a good browser (MOZILLA FIREFOX or SAFARI) and a fast MODEM/CONNECTION (CABLE or WI FI) to enjoy the videos and a good set of HEADPHONES or/and speakers to enjoy the SOUND and brutality. If you subscribe to ITP don't forget to come straight to this blog for updates, videos, REVIEWS, pics for ITP's multimedia extreme metal experience. To enjoy ITP, you MUST have a BANDCAMP, YOU TUBE or/and SPOTIFY account to headbang. BTW, I almost forgot to mention, ITP is visible via BLOGSPOT, target FACEBOOK. So add ITP is under said bloggers given name on FACEBOOK. Not all ITP V.018 posts show up on the main feed nor get passed my timeline (isn't that the truth on FB, only 15% of posts end up in the main feed passed your timeline).
