VOIVOD: UNLEASH NEW TRACK "MECHANICAL MIND' VIA PITCHFORK

Canadian progressive thrash metal legends VOIVOD have unleashed a new tune entitled "Mechanical Mind" via PITCHFORK.
VOIVOD shall unleash the bands anticipated new offering "Target Earth" 10/8/2012 (EUROPE) and 10/9/2012 (NORTH AMERICA) on CENTURY MEDIA.
FROM CENTURY MEDIA RECORDS:

Century Media Records is proud to announce the worldwide signing of Quebecois progressive metal pioneers VOIVOD! To coincide with the band's 30th Anniversary - the band was founded in late January, 1983 - VOIVOD's own company, Iron Gang Factory, joins with global powerhouse Century Media Records to release Target Earth on January 21st throughout Europe and the 22nd in North America. Comments, the band:

"Our goal has been to find a partner for Iron Gang Factory to help get new VOIVOD music to the world and Century Media, we are proud to say, is the right company to do so globally We can't wait to release, tour, and promote 'Target Earth.'"

VOIVOD's career path has endured as many shifts and disturbances as the music itself. From major label deals and big-time tours to slogging it out in clubs while metal went through growing pains in the mid 1990s; from high profile bass players to unknown substitutes, the Quebecois prog metal pioneers have persevered through thick and thin to arrive at a comfortable place in 2012 -- a place of rebirth, rejuvenation and respect.

VOIVOD's 30th anniversary celebrates their career as one of metal's most influential bands. The handful of live albums, reissues and DVDs that began to surface in the past ten years proved how beloved this band really is, and now comes another album of inspired fresh material that proves VOIVOD still have many new paths to travel. What band continues to redefine and reinvent themselves 13 studio albums and 30 years into their career? There is only one answer to that question: VOIVOD.

ITP V.012 METALHEADS ROCK THE VOTE: INDEPENDENT THIRD PARTY U.S. PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES

U.S. METAL HEADS: Choices..MITT ROMNEY was nominated via the REPUBLICANS, and U.S. current President BARACK OBAMA was nominated by the DEMOCRATS in the final stretch of  the U.S. Presidential race.
However, there are more than TWO choices, as in reality, we DO have Independent third party candidates here in the USA, a wide open race, and more than just a two party show.
Depending on where you're situated, more than just the Presidential election is at stake, U.S. SENATE, CONGRESS, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, local, county and State Representatives, (STATE CONGRESS, STATE SENATE, STATE HOUSE OF REPRESENTIVES) all are important regarding state, local and regional politics as that is indeed how bills get passed, or passed over.
It's PARTY TIME, regarding the U.S election race, lots of parties. GREEN PARTY, LIBERTARIAN PARTY, AMERICANS ELECT PARTY..
PEACE and FREEDOM PARTY, CONSTITUTION PARTY, JUSTICE PARTY, AMERICAN INDEPENDENT PARTY, SOCIALIST WORKERS PARTY, SOCIALIST PARTY USA, GRASS ROOTS PARTY, REFORM PARTY, and many more.
Whom ever wins this U.S. election will host an awesome, and very expensive PARTY when it's all over,
better known as the PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURAL PARTY.

There have been, and still are some interesting third party independent Presidential candidates including ROSEANNE BARR and LAMB OF GOD vocalist RANDY BLYTHE.                                         LIBERTARIAN candidate, and U.S. TEXAS Representitive RON PAUL,  JELLO BIAFRIA (former vocalist of punk rock legends DEAD KENNEDY's), and the Independent TEA PARTY all declined the 2012 run for President.

While ITP V.012 does NOT endorse political candidates, the choice is yours, American Metal Heads,

your vote IS important.

Don't let anyone tell you that voting for an independent third party candidate, whom lacks campaign money,and doesn't have a snails chance of winning  is "useless, and would split the vote". Depending on desperation, your choice could spark new ideas, new politicians, and a revolution. 

BTW, if you live in CALIFORNIA, USA, and you are a procrastinator, you're in luck, same day voter registration is now in effect:

GOD SEED: New Track Premiere Hosted By Pitchfork

Norwegian black metal warriors GOD SEED have posted a new track on PITCHFORK entitled "This From The Past" from the bands anticipated new release "I Begin" due to be unleashed 10/22/2012 (NORTH AMERICA),
10/26/2012 (NORWAY) and 10/30/2012 (WORLDWIDE) on INDIE RECORDINGS.
FROM PITCHFORK:
http://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/14301-this-time-from-the-past/

God Seed is a Norwegian black metal group with sturdy Second Wave roots: The sextet features Gorgoroth's Gaahl on vocals and King ov Hell on bass, joined by current and past members of Motorpsycho, Dimmu Borgir, etc., on guitars, drums, keyboards, and noise. If you followed the Gorgoroth soap opera a few years back, you'll know Gaahl and King lost the right to the Gorgoroth name to founding guitarist Infernus. You may also know Gaahl as a member of Wardruna and Trelldom, the subject of the VBS documentary "True Norwegian Black Metal," the inspiration for Deerhunter's "Calvary Scars", or as the first high-profile"out" black metal musician.

The nine-song I Begin, God Seed's first proper LP following a 2012 live CD/DVD, arrives October 22 on Indie Recordings. The fittingly titled lead track, "This From the Past", offers a look at the collection's expansive blend of intense old-school black metal with the psychedelic and the symphonic.

FROM EARSPLIT PR:

Today esteemed music portal, Pitchfork, unveils the first single from I Begin, the long-awaited new full-length from Norwegian black metal legion, GOD SEED. Entitled “This From The Past,” the second track from the record burns deep with unhinged viciousness and infernal majesty.

Hear for yourself at THIS LOCATION.

I Begin is scheduled for North American release on October 22nd (October 26th in Norway and October 30th worldwide). For preorder info, point your browser HERE. A vinyl version will also be available through Back On Black.

Additionally, the band will march through Europe beginning November 7th on the Creatures From The Black Abyss Tour 2012 alongside Cradle Of Filth! See confirmed dates below.

For nearly a decade, King ov Hell and Gaahl were key members of the legendary Norwegian black metal legion Gorgoroth, with whom they parted ways in 2007. When the pair decided to continue creating music together, they chose the bandGOD SEED in honor of a track on the last Gorgoroth album on which they both appeared, 2006’s Ad Majorem Satanhas Gloriam.

In 2009, however, just as Gaahl was set to record vocals for the debut GOD SEEDrelease, he abruptly announced his retirement from metal. With an album’s worth of music already recorded, King quickly regrouped and recruited Dimmu Borgir vocalist Shagrath — but instead of releasing 2010’s acclaimed The Underworld Regime under the GOD SEED moniker, King felt it more fitting to give the reconfigured group its own name: Ov Hell.

Earlier this year, though, Gaahl ended his metal hiatus, and GOD SEED was resurrected. To whet fans’ appetites, the group released a well-received live CD/DVD of their headlining performance at the 2008 Wacken Open Air festival, which became the first-ever release under the GOD SEED name. Still, fans began counting the days until the pair would unite to write and record new material together.

Finally, that day has arrived. Featuring King and Gaahl firing on all cylinders, GOD SEED’s debut studio album, I Begin, is one of the most anticipated black metal releases in recent memory. Several years in the making, it harnesses the viciousness of the musicians’ pasts while also pointing toward a hellfire-bright future ahead.

The voter registration form should be used as a change of address form. Notices of change of address from registered voters received at least 20 days before a special, primary or general election by a county board of elections must be processed and entered in the records in time for that election.

Change of Party Enrollment
The voter registration form should be used to change your party enrollment from one party to another or to enroll for the first time in a party. A change of enrollment received no later than 25 days before the general election shall be deposited in a sealed enrollment box and opened the first Tuesday following that general election and entered in the voter's registration record.

Victims of Domestic Violence
N.Y. Election Law (5-508) allows victims of domestic violence who obtain a court order from NY Supreme Court in the county where they are registered to have their voter registration record kept separate and apart from other registration records and not be made available for inspection or copying by the public or any other person, except election officials acting within the course and scope of their official duties. Under a separate section of the law (11-306), you can also be excused from going to your polling place to vote and get a special ballot. For further information, you should contact your local board of elections for their confidential registration and special ballot procedures.
