Opeth forum @Ultimatemetal.com. closed

Opeth's forum at UltimateMetal.com. is (perhaps temporarily) CLOSED to EVERYONE due to leaks (downloads of Opeth's new CD Ghost Revelries) and the ensueing hype and mayhem, lmao.

Between Opeth and Roadrunner, sounds like all in the Opeth camp are getting paranoid of all the "rumors". lol. We'll see if the new Opeth CD on Roadrunner is worth all this hype (Ghost Revelries)..

:rolls eyes;..I liked the forum (Opeth) better in 2002/2003 before these KiDZ starting getting into Opeth, lol. Then again, Arch Enemy, In Flames also closed thier forums (permanatly) on UltimateMetal.com within the last two years due to cries of sell out..

The bad news for Opeth fans from UltimateMetal.com. staff METALAGES:

I've been informed by Opeth that this forum is now closed due to the leaks, etc. It may reopen once the album is released. Plese do not message asking how, why etc. Thanks.

In more bad news, WVKR metal DJ (Masochist Radio-Vassar College radio) Hamilton and Gengis Tron member had an unfortunate accident and crashed the bands van in route to a gig on Gengis Tron's 7 week national tour. While all in Gengis Tron are ok, the ENTIRE tour is cancelled and thier gear/van are ruined..

Hamilton (Gengis Tron) IS/WAS one of the better DJ's on WVKR (Masochist Radio) and a motivating factor in getting up but crack early in the morning (7 or 10AM) to listen to one the best extreme metal shows (and perhaps only) on the airwaves in 2002/2003...

Hamilton (Gengis Tron) has also, (up to his study abroad trip to the Chek Repulblic) been an active member on the RELAPSE.COM. and ULTIMATEMETAL.COM. forum's..Hamilton/Gengis Tron are a part of our local music scene and metal forums community.

Hamilton's a very cool guy, and thankfully Gengis Tron's gear is INSURED, but they are STILL thousands of dollars in the red on gear, so please buy some merch from this band so they can buy new gear and a new van..So if you are a band on tour, INSURE YOUR GEAR.

Jokes about mistaking Gengis Tron's van accident with yet another van accident, ala Soilent Green/Goatwhore/Candiria aside, it was truly a little bunny rabbit that side swiped Gengis Tron's van causing the accident. I shit you not...These van/tour bus accidents could have tragic counsequences ala Cliff Burton of Metallica '86, not just missed shows, physical and monatary damages..

So help out Gengis Tron and Hamilton whom just happens to be a local Vassar college student and former WVKR DJ originally from Atlanta, Georgia.

Being in an indie band, driving a VAN across the USA on tour with no showers, hotels,no roadies/crew, the band itself driving a van 8 to 12 hours to a show,taking off time from work to tour because you're an indie band and your genre of music is not commercially profitable. Also, not much food from unreliable promoters is NOT a glamerous life.. This is (sometimes the unfortuanate) standard for indie bands on tour, and that is how the underground music scene works these days.

Also,. when indie bands (signed to small and major indies whom are not huge sellers, and not on major tours) go on tour and play in your area, please help them out by PAYING them guarentees (on a rider agreement), and feeding them properly (you know who you are ya shiesty promoters) and fans please let these bands shower and perhaps stay a night at your place if at all possible.. Take these bands in over night for a shower, shave and some adequate SLEEP if these bands are touring by way of a VAN and (not a tour bus) and have no $, the band themselves are driving with no seperate driver, or are not supplied with hotels. This IS the indie underground folks.

Only INTERNATIONAL/ (INDIE ect) acts are supllied with a tour bus and driver. Tour bus rentals (from booking agencies) may cost between $10, 000 and $20, 000 dollars. Of course one could always rent a van, or van with bunks from a booking agency, or invest in thier own van/tralier.

Oh yeh, I don't care that she is not metal, cheers to ANI DIFRANCO whom is playing somewhere in NY this weekend at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival..It was a pleasure playing Ani Difranco's music on WFNP back in the day..

Thanks- and good luck to Hamilton and OPETH too- Thanks-Stay Metal/Stay Brutal-Tee \m/ -l-

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. NEW POLICY REGARDING ITP V.018 VS. SYNDICATES: RSS FEED BY PERMISSION ONLY. FEEDS/syndicates are a pain to manage, and can be claimed and controlled by someone other than the blogs primary author. ITP V.015 new policy does NOT allow FEEDS without permission and consent from ITP's author.Consent means sign up for said syndicate, chances are, ITP V.013 was taken without CONSENT, and not without express written consent. ITP does NOT endorse sexism, fascism, racism homophobia nor porn NONE of that, and ITP is NOT responsible for any statements or actions via readers, artists or bands, separating the artists and musicians from ITP V.018's author. All videos and music featured on ITP come straight from the labels and bands official YOU TUBE, VIMEO, SOUNDCLOUD and BANDCAMP accounts (I hope they go viral), under fair use, all rights reserved to the artists and labels, courtesy of the bands and labels. 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/ -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.
