ITP V.011 UPDATE: LAST DAY OF 2011

...Sooooo, it's the last few hours of 2011. I have no words, just a career high in posts (over 1,300 some odd posts) and a huge and very successful blog with a life of it's own. Of course, ITP will stay ACTIVE, bruising egos, the truth sayer of metal and culture. ITP V.012 1/1/2012.

ITP SOCIAL JUSTICE: The irony of being a little off topic to metal, ITP is very proud that New York State has won the battle for marriage equality, gay marriages are LEGAL in New York State, keep fighting for justice. The West Memphis Three are FREE, (Jessie Misskelly, Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin), and these little victories make 2011 a watershed year.

WE WON, HUGS ALL AROUND..

Thank YOU ARAB SPRING ( Tunisia, Egypt ect.) and OWS for righteous revolutions \m/ m/ we're with you. Thank YOU TUBE, FACEBOOK, TWITTER, MYSPACE, and of course BLOGSPOT/BLOGGER , we're on your side. THANK YOU ACLU, and EFF. Thank you "Duece" (entertainment attorney)..Thanks to family and friends, soup kitchens.

Extreme metal still rules, ITP will continue on, although I've had a cold for the last few months, as we're committed to keeping ya updated on metal news, reviews, tour dates ect.

Thanks to all extreme metal labels, however, big or small NUCLEAR BLAST,  PROFOUND LORE, METAL BLADE , promoters, festival organizers, booking agents, keep sending me your news.. And of course ITP READERS WORLD WIDE, THANK YOU, I SALUTE YOU.
I'm exhausted and stoked for 2012, reviews coming up today and tonight and metal news features.

Thanks to all for the help and moral support in a transitional year, to the fuck heads FUCK YOU for your denial of your own baggage, justice is coming. No thanks to perhaps the flu, bad weather, Tsunami's, EQ's, Hurricanes, wingnuts.
Last but not least, thank you to all of the musicians in the indie scene (extreme metal) whom perform and record their music for the passion and love of the art, not just for money, as this enhances our lives for the individualism of whom we are, a world wide evolving scene, up against the grain of commercialism, thanks for the great music, I look forward to more.

Thanks from ITP V.011 HAPPY NEW YEAR....If ya drink DON'T DRIVE, if ya drive DON'T DRINK..

I was wondering if writing the metal news features monthly NFTEMU, DAMNED IN BLACK and HUMANITY IS DOOMED) would be a little redundant, (I used to post ITP METAL NEWS FEATURES MONTHLY).. I'm thinking about perhaps posting the metal news features bi monthly or quarterly, per quarter touring cycle. There fore, more potential time for ITP V.011 REVIEWS:

I've been personally very busy, and I'm battling a cold, it's BRRRRR, out so show compassion and be patient or I'll kick " f***ing A**, as I need room to be HUMAN..

I'm digging TWITTER already.Do NOT add ITP V.011 if you're a phisher or SPAM BOT, because we hate that crap.

RANDY BLYTHE (LAMB OF GOD): "I don't think SOPA should be allowed to pass as written"

Randy Blythe, vocalist of Virginia thrash/metal core warriors LAMB OF GOD has discussed (with fans on TWITTER) and commented on the SOPA bill (Stop Online Piracy Act), due to be debated and voted on in the U.S. congress early next year (2012). The SOPA bill would shut down alleged pirate sites hosting copy righted material. Free speech advocates say social networking sites like FACEBOOK and YOU TUBE would suffer and cease to exist as free speech and potential economic gains from web development suppressed..

FROM RANDY BLYTHE (LAMB OF GOD):"I don't think SOPA should be allowed to pass as written. Terms are too broad & open. But there is a corporate race occurring right now that. The reason I ask about SOPA is that I think that most people see it in misguided terms of B&W. It's far deeper than that. C'mon, DIG peeps..Informed people saying "this is just a way for the govt to restrict free speech"- BULLSHIT. This is a corporate battle being fought at a judicial level by PAID LOBBYISTS- neither corporate side REALLY CARES for A) artists/creators rights or B) free speech rights. Get the fuck. The RIAA hasn't done much for me lately. People worry about YouTube getting shutdown, as if it is an altruistic creative. expression outlet. WHO OWNS YOUTUBE? And WHY does YouTube exist? It ain't for you to develop your creative side. This is all about funding, people. Do a little research, you'll see where the dollars are coming from that. fund some of these supposed "free speech advocacy" groups. It ain't from idealist libertarians. It's ALL CORPORATE. ALL OF IT. Let's see who has the juice and cash flow- the FEW PEOPLE making real money off of providing Internet/ computer hardware, or the big wigs at the media. conglomerates. Y'all's pissant voices (that includes mine too) will have VERY LITTLE to do with the outcome of the SOPA debate. BE AWARE!".

ABC NO RIO (NYC, New York): NEW BUILDING SOON

Long running New York City punk, hardcore, underground music and alternative art gallery space ABC NO RIO (Rivington Str, NYC, New York) is getting a facelift and a new building as the building will be solor powered and freshly painted.

FROM INHABITAT NYC, NY: ABC No Rio’s façade is currently emblazoned with painted murals, and an iron art piece that also serves as security. http://www.castrucciarchitect.com/abc-no-rio/" Castrucci’s for the façade strips away the grittiness, and injects some nature into the neighborhood. Located on a semi-drab block of Rivington Street, populated by restaurants and cafes, the new façade will feature lush greenery. Instead of an expensive living wall system, the plants will pour over the mesh façade from a series of built-in planters, creating pockets of plants, all watered by hand. New roof gardens will grow ivy and edible plants that will spill out over the front of the building.

The whole building will be built to Passive House standards. The roof will be painted white, with a garden extending the entire length. The front of the roof will support large photovoltaic panels that will provide 15 percent of the building’s power during peak-use and 50 percent during off-peak time. Additional roof decks will be built and planted on the back of the building. The new building will also double ABC No Rio’s gallery and performance space, as well as add a food pantry to support Food Not Bombs.

The new ABC No Rio will greater reflect its activist roots, as well as making it 75 percent more efficient than the building code requires, and 90 percent more energy efficient than most Lower East Side buildings. Castrucci, a neighborhood resident and long time supporter of ABC No Rio, will begin construction in spring of next year.

Thanks for your support!

FROM ABC NO RIO: Will you help us complete this picture?

Hard as it may be to believe, we’ve raised $4 million of the $5 million we need to build No Rio’s new home!!!

But we still need another cool million…

We’re moving forward, working closely with New York City’s Department of Cultural Affairs and Department of Design and Construction to build a fantastic new building. DDC will manage construction — they’re already reviewing our architectural and engineering documents, a process that is far more rigorous than we could ever have imagined. Our construction documents should be complete before the year is out.

We could begin construction next summer, but we still need another cool million…

The new ABC No Rio will be spectacular. We’ll have twice as much space for exhibitions, music, performances and other public events. We’re creating spaces especially designed for our projects and programs. The building will be properly sound-proofed and wheelchair accessible.

Our new building will meet the rigorous Passive House energy efficiency standard through a high-performance building envelope with super-insulated walls and a cutting-edge heat-recovery ventilation system. We’ll be significantly more efficient than the state energy code requires. With a green roof, efficient lighting fixtures and controls, triple-paned, low “e-glazed” windows, and low-flow plumbing fixtures the new building will meet the criteria for LEED Silver.

Sustainable design is not just for mind numbing offices and luxury condos. Small grassroots spaces can be the most sustainable.

But… we still need another cool million to make that happen!

Your support is crucial to ensuring we move forward towards a bigger, better and brighter future. We trust that you will join us, and that we can count on your contribution to ABC No Rio as the year comes to a close.

I was wondering if writing the metal news features monthly NFTEMU, DAMNED IN BLACK and HUMANITY IS DOOMED) would be a little redundant, (I used to post ITP METAL NEWS FEATURES MONTHLY).. I'm thinking about perhaps posting the metal news features bi monthly or quarterly, per quarter touring cycle. There fore, more potential time for ITP V.011 REVIEWS:

I've been personally very busy, and I'm battling a cold, it's BRRRRR, out so show compassion and be patient or I'll kick " f***ing A**, as I need room to be HUMAN..ITP's author does NOT celebrate Christmas (I'm not feeling well anyway) so if all goes well, I'll post some reviews this weekend as an ANTI XMAS, ANTI CONSUMER, SATANIC METAL BINGE just for kicks and giggles.
However, if you do celebrate the Holidays (Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaaa, New Years, Winter Solistice), have an AWESOME holiday!
ITP REVIEWS will be on Friday, Saturday and Sunday (time, mood and stability permitting).
It's time to get to WORK on ITP V.011, long hours as it will be. Yes, I said I would do this late last year, and it is officially DONE. ITP's author JUST started an account for this blog on TWITTER. Again, I just started the ITP V.011 TWITTER account in JUNE, so it will take me a while to build a following and to follow others. Keep in mind I'm a NUBIE to TWITTER as I will have an secondary private TWITTER account for myself. I'm digging TWITTER already.Do NOT add ITP V.011 if you're a phisher or SPAM BOT, because we hate that crap.

ITP V.011:ONLY ONE PER COFFIN: R.I.P. DAVID GOLD (WOODS OF YPRES)

It is with sadness that ITP V.011 announces that founder of Canadian blackened/doom band WOODS OF YPRES, DAVID GOLD was killed last night in a collision between a motor vehicle and a pedestrian, Gold was 31 years old. A memorial service is tentatively scheduled to be held in Gold's hometown of Sault Ste. Marie on December 28. WOODS OF YPRES' new album, "Woods 5: Grey Skies & Electric Light", will be unleashed on 1/31/2012 via Earache Records.

FROM THEBARRIEEXAMINER.COM:
The heavy metal community is mourning the loss of multi-instrumentalist David Gold, who was killed on Highway 400, north of Highway 89, on Wednesday afternoon.

Fans knew the 31-year-old Sault Ste. Marie native as the driving force behind the doom metal band, Woods of Ypres.

Ian Morris said he remembers Gold as a talented musician and a humble person.

"The music meant a lot to him personally," Morris said in a telephone interview from South Bay, Calif. "He was a very interesting character."

Gold displayed his talent in live settings and in the studio after recording all the instruments on his five albums, including Woods 5: Grey Skies & Electric Light, set to be released on Earache Records in 2012, Morris said.

Ontario Provincial Police shut down the highway's northbound lanes Wednesday afternoon.

What caused the collision between a car and a pedestrian, which resulted in Gold's death, remains under investigation.

The four-piece band played a show at the Avalon Club in South Bay, where Morris was writing reviews of up-and-coming acts which included Woods of Ypres.

"(Gold) contacted me directly and said thanks, and that's the kind of person he was. He was very in touch with his fan base," Morris said. "It was a very emotional experience especially for David Gold, because most of the work was written and produced by him."

Morris said fans connected with Gold because they could identify with his music, as the lyrics spoke to fans on multiple levels.

"A lot of his lyrics were very personal. He dealt with things he had gone through in his life and what he personally had to deal with in life," Morris said. "I think that's why his music resonated a lot with people."

Earache Records set up a memorial page on its website after learning of Gold's death.

"A great musician, and a friend. RIP, Dave. You'll be missed," wrote one fan.

"My whole world just shifted," wrote another.

The band formed in 2002 and released their first full-length album, Pursuit of the Sun & Allure of the Earth, in 2004, shortly after Gold moved to Toronto in 2003.

The highway was reopened just after 5 p.m.

POST FROM BRY GOW ULTIMATE METAL.COM:
It's sad news, but David Gold has passed away, near Barrie Ontario in an accident...RIP my friend.
FROM METAL AGES (ULTIMATE METAL FORUM):
Not a good way to start the day this morning.

It is with great sorrow I announce that Mr. David Gold from Woods of Ypres has passed away as a result of an accident in Ontario, Canada.

He is one of the nicer guys you could hope to meet, whether in person or online. Always pleasant to speak with, excited about what he was doing, and just seemed like one of those guys who was living for the day.

He has hosted his forums here at Ultimate Metal for a long time now, starting with his own Krakenhaus label which included his own band Woods of Ypres. He was always picky about his forum header, liking it tweaked right down to the absolute pixel! It was my pleasure tweaking until he was happy, I appreciated his attention to detail on things like that.

Stop by and raise a metal fist for Mr. Gold. The world is a little darker today with him not with us.

RIP David.

Good Bye My Friend

FROM PAUL KUHR (NOVEMBERS DOOM):
I was absolutely crushed to learn of David's passing. His band, Woods of Ypres is one of metals most original and talented acts. Often times quirky, but THAT was David. Pushing boundaries, and never caring what others thought, as long as he was able to express himself through music. He was one of the most hard working individuals I've had the pleasure of knowing. Always a joy to talk with, tour with, and share the stage with, even going as far as offering to play drums for Novembers Doom when he knew we needed someone. David, I will miss you, Novembers Doom will miss you, and metal music as a whole will miss you. Rest well my friend.

FROM EARACHE RECORDS:

We have also decided to hold a formal service for David within the first week of January, once holidays are over. I will keep everyone updated as I confirm the exact information. I hope everyone has a happy holiday season, and remember to play some WOD for Dave. Please don't hesitate to contact me if anyone has any questions.
Davids fans and friends, I will be taking the day to get back to everyone regarding merchandise orders, stories for Davids memorial, inquires into the documentary, and all the great outpour of support we have been receiving. I realize that today is christmas, and its a busy time for everyone - but if you haven't already done so, could I get the letters for his memorial sent to my e-mail address (mariechristinegold@hotmail.com)no later than 5pm on the 27th to ensure that I will be able to print it off in time. Its been really amazing to see how David has positively influenced people all over this world, it truly warms my heart. Thank you everyone, and have a happy holidays.
