ITP: BEST AND WORST OV EXTREME METAL 2008

I'm sorry, we're late, but we've all been very busy and we wanted to get this right. After mucho debate, we can all say, WOW, 2008 SUCKED here in the USA. Wall Street bailouts, world economic recession, motor vehicle companies are closing and laying off workers..Political volley balls..A rise in hate, and crimes, wingnut sex offenders (don't pick up the soap), corrupt politicians, obsessive wingnuts..AOL closing the journals, AOL hometown feature, leaking the memo and driving us NUTS. I'm very happy on BLOGSPOT, it's awesome here.The only bright spot was the election of Barack Obama, the USA's first African American president. Although I voted socialist, I did a "happy dance" when Obama won, gave everyone the metal horns, and his historic inaugural was a happy day for me.
Alot of extreme metal releases...None of which had an impact on me as these below.
....This is extreme, not on your charts, we don't give a FUCK about trends.

1-ESOTERIC-THE MANIACAL VALE-(SEASON OF MIST)-A beautiful masterpiece from these UK funeral doom pioneers. The sun is rising over the apocalypse.
2-GORATH-MISOTHEISM-(DESCENT PRODUCTIONS)-Progressive Black metal from Belgium. Hails -l- Post black metal, with both a brutal and folk feel, and some doom too, very original, and diverse. Gregorian chants, and cohesive musical ideas, interesting. The spoken word, brings a fucking beautiful melodic doom feel, fucking awesome.
3.LEVIATHAN-MASSIVE CONSPIRACY AGAINST ALL LIFE-(MORIBUND CULT)-Wrest's last CD under the project name LEVIATHAN as WREST will focus on his other project LURKER OF CHALICE. While each song sounds alike, it is a good, dark, creepy CD from one of the pioneers of the USBM scene.
4.-DARKSPACE-DARKSPACE III-(AVANTE GARDE)-Swiss black ambient project,combining mesmerizing dark ambiance, with intense, raw black metal.
5-NACHTMYSTIUM-ASSASSINS-BLACK MEDDLE PT-1-(CENTURY MEDIA) Chicago USA psychedelic black metal freak out. Original and awesome.
6-COLDWORLD-MELANCHOLIE-(COLD DIMENSIONS)-This German one man black metal project (Georg Börner, a.k.a. GB) may have potential to re create the genre of black metal. Depressive, Suicidal, Black Metal (DSBM) Beautiful, ambient, dark pieces, with awesome talent for the solitude in your sorrow and depression.
7-ORIGIN-ANTITHESIS-(RELAPSE)-Crush, Kill, Destroy, with arpeggios, sweeps, and bone crushing technical wizardry.
8-ABYSMAL SORROW-LAMENT(DEADEN PRODUCTIONS)-Black depressive doom, if you liked NORTT you would LOVE this band. Awesome release.
9-COFFINS-BURIED DEATH-(BUCK SPIN)- From Japan, and brutal, Not really doom, but crushing old school death metal, devastating, oppressive.
10-PANTHEIST-JOURNEY THROUGH LANDS UNKNOWN-(FIREDOOM RECORDS)-British funeral doom. An innovative step forward step forward with orchestral leanings.
11-PROSTITUTE DISFIGUREMENT-DESCENDANTS OF DEPRAVITY-(NEUROTIC RECORDS)-This (Netherlands) death metal act brutalizes your world, with brutal grooves, vocals and... this is BRUTAL...
12-DISMEMBER-DISMEMBER-(REGAIN RECORDS) Swedish death metal heroes show how it's done with a solid effort. These guys never disappoint, take notice.
13-WOODS OF YPRES-THE DEEPEST ROOTS AND DARKEST BLUES-(KRANKENHOUSE)-Canadian black metal.Innovative, pagan black metal with clean and screamed vocals, and beautiful atmospheres.
14-BRAINDRILL-APOCALYPTIC FEASTING- (METAL BLADE)-Controversial choice. Bludgeoning tech death metal from California USA, and brutal at that. Yeh, the wankery doesn't amount to a good song, but BRUTAL, kill, crush.
15-FOREFATHER-STEADFAST (SEVEN KINGDOMS)-Controversial choice. Melodic, beautiful, progressive pagan, viking, folk. This band may be NSBM, as they label themselves "Anglo Saxon" instead of black metal. Of course, I don't agree with National Socialism, However, this is a quality release.
16-THYRFING-HELS VITE-(REGAIN RECORDS)-Another release of excellence from these Swedish Viking folk masters.
WORST OV EXTREME METAL 2008:
CRYPTOPSY-THE UNSPOKEN KING- (CENTURY MEDIA)-I wasn't expecting much after Lord Worms departure, but I wasn't expecting THIS..Melodic metal core, barking vocals, no death metal, not much in blast beats, and awful..A sure betrayal of CRYPTOPSY's death grind innovation, and not even good. And now they SUCK.
HEY MAN NICE SHOT- (BEST COMEBACKS) TOUR: CARCASS, AT THE GATES
HEY MAN NICE SHOT-(BEST COMEBACKS)-ATHEIST, CYNIC
BEST SCENES FOR EXTREME METAL:
1-FRANCE
2-CZECH REPUBLIC
3-GERMANY
3-NETHERLANDS
4-SCANDINAVIA (Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark)
POTENTIAL-
1-SOUTH AMERICA
2-MIDDLE EAST
WISH YOU WERE HERE (R.I.P.)- ADRIAN BROMLEY ( MPB -THE ENERGIZER), MICHELLE MELDRUM (MELDRUM), GEORGE CARLIN, JEFF HEALEY , BENJAMIN LEE MARLIN (DISGORGE) soo many others.
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-Have an Awesome and METAL 2009- \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..

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.

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).
