DEATH ANGEL: FOUNDING BASSIST DENNIS PEPA BATTLING CANCER, LAUNCH GO FUND ME

FROM METAL INJECTION:

Death Angel founding bassist and original vocalist Dennis Pepa has revealed he's battling stage 4 duodenal cancer.

Pepa was diagnosed in February, shortly after losing the job he'd held for nearly 20 years. He's now raising money to pursue immunotherapy at a cancer center in Mexico, along with travel, a place to stay during roughly six weeks of treatment, and support for his family back home.

"I find myself in a saloon I never wanted to be in, and so this has to be part of my fight…because there's still so much I want to stick around for," Pepa wrote. "I want to carry on watching my sons Maddox (22) and Roman (19) grow and build lives of their own… I want to marry my fiancée, Gemalyn, and continue being present for the people I love most."

His goal is $150,000, but he stresses that every bit counts: "A $5 donation multiplied many times over is so much more than $5, so anything and everything helps. Truly."

Pepa co-founded Death Angel in the Bay Area in 1982 and played on five of the band's studio albums, from The Ultra-Violence to Killing Season. Sending all our strength to Dennis and his family. 

FROM DEATH ANGEL:

Please help our brother, friend, cousin, and founding member of Death Angel, Dennis Pepa, in his fight against cancer.

https://gofund.me/20441285a 

He really needs the Metal community and beyond to come together and show their support in unity, as one of our own, that helped define this genre’s sound and attitude, as he fights this battle.

Any little bit helps more than you know, including your positive energy, thoughts, and prayers.

Let’s show Dennis he’s not alone fighting this battle. He has this whole amazing and tenacious Metal community by his side every step of the way!

We love you Dennis!
You got this brother!

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

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.

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.
