ITP UPDATE: NOTES FROM THE EXTREME METAL UNDERGROUND V.011 PART 2 UP BY WEDNESDAY


ITP UPDATE: NOTES FROM THE EXTREME METAL UNDERGROUND V.011 PART 2 will be up by WEDNESDAY as HUMANITY IS DOOMED (DOOM METAL NEWS) will be up by the end of the month.
If I posted the tweets that are coming in from the NEW ENGLAND METAL and HARDCORE FEST you would be ROTFLMAO (METAL INJECTION are having fun). BTW, DARKEST HOUR cancelled the bands appearance at the NEMHCF because a band member is now a father: Washington D.C. metallers DARKEST HOUR have been forced to cancel their appearance at this year's edition of the massive, three-day New England Metal And Hardcore Festival, set to take place Thursday, April 14 through Saturday, April 16 at he Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts. The wife of guitarist Mike Schleibaum wife went into an early labor this week and the couple welcomed their first child into the world on Tuesday. They are pleased to report that both the mother and daughter are healthy. No official photos have been made available, but rumors have already surfaced that she's got shred-happy fingers just like her father!

Commented DARKEST HOUR in a statement: "We regret to announce that we must cancel this year's appearance at the New England Metal fest. It has become a bit of a tradition for us, so many great bands, it will be a bad-ass party, for real. But it is with the same breath that we congratulate Mike and his family on the birth of a new baby girl. She came a bit early to the party but baby and mom are doing fine.

"Worcester is a metal-ass town and we will make it up to you all soon!

"We will see you in the pit this summer with BLACK DAHLIA and the traveling circus that is Summer Slaughter. Until then, cheers to new life!" ITP will post some footage and commentary from the both the NEW ENGLAND METAL and HARDCORE FESTIVAL and ROADBURN this week. Mosh out and headband at both fests for me.
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
