ITP V.013 UPDATE: ITP V.012 has switched over to ITP V.013 to represent the new year (2013) all syndicates have been updated.. ITP V.013 wishes all readers WORLD WIDE A VERY HAPPY, PROSPEROUS, HEALTHY and METAL NEW YEAR, WELCOME TO 2013 and ITP V.013.
INTRODUCING, ITP V.013's NEW, ILLEGIBLE LOGO and FAVICON!!! In the shadow of 2013 is 2012. We try hard here at ITP to be illegible, as that is TROO METAL and KVLT.
ITP V.013 will work on a newer logo in the spring of 2013.
ITP V.012 biggest stories of the year HURRICANE SANDY, METAL FESTIVALS, RANDY BLYTHE and MORE. (VIA VIEW COUNT):
HURRICANE SANDY:
View count: 4115 (http://spak-individualthoughtpatterns.blogspot.com/2012/10/itp-v012-world-apocalypse-hurricane_29.html)As of late NOVEMBER 2012, many in NYC (QUEENS, BROOKLYN, NYC and NJ were STILL without power, many were evacuated and homeless as houses that many worked years to mortgage were destroyed. 
Sayerville, New Jersey based music venue (or we like to call "SLAYERVILLE") STARLAND BALLROOM will re-open SPRING 2013 after renovations from damages accrued from HURRICANE SANDY. However, NYC and New Jersey are very resilient people and will find a way to survive, as with NOLA, a New jersey comeback is in order for SUPER BOWL 2014.  

FROM STARLAND BALLROOM: 
A MESSAGE FROM THE STARLAND BALLROOM:

The last two weeks in New Jersey have been a testament to our state’s resilience. We’ve witnessed New Jersey’s worst days, but also its greatest humanity. We’ve seen destruction, but we’ve also seen ho
pe, hard work and determination.

Our situation at Starland is a microcosm of these scenarios -- yet one we realize is significantly less important than one’s home, family or livelihood. Hurricane Sandy devastated our electrical system and damaged our sound, lighting, heating / cooling and plumbing systems – all necessary ingredients in operating a public venue. Given the demand for these components in the regional housing and commercial sectors, we do not anticipate being able to open again until Spring 2013.

Speaking of 2013, it’s the year in which we intend to celebrate Starland Ballroom’s 10th anniversary. So we’re dedicated to taking this time to rebuild the state’s best concert venue, and make it even better. We’ll take inspiration from all of our New Jersey neighbors who are working hard to get their lives back to normal. When it’s all said and done, we’ll be here for some of the best live concert celebrations available.

You can help in this effort: Send us an email to info@starlandballroom.com with your suggestions and ideas on how to make Starland even better. We’ll read every last one of them.

Most of our shows will be canceled. A few will be moved to new locations. We'll have them listed here and at Starlandballroom.com ASAP.

Fans holding tickets to the canceled shows will receive a full refund, including fees. If you bought tickets online or via phone, you will receive an automatic refund within 7-10 business days. If you bought your tickets from a Ticketmaster retail outlet, you may return your tickets to that exact location for your refund. Tickets purchased here at Starland can be turned in for a full refund plus service fees during new hours of operation - Thursdays and Fridays from 3-6pm and Saturdays from 11am-2pm. The Box Office will not be open on Thanksgiving. Fans holding tickets to relocated shows, but unable to attend due to the new location, are also entitled to a refund. 2012 Starland SeasonPass holders will be permitted to use their passes for shows in 2013.

We regret that any of these shows are going away, but not as much as we regret the pain, suffering and destruction experienced by our customers throughout the Garden State. Much like the spirit of New Jersey, you can't stop rock n' roll. And we don’t intend to.

Jersey proud, Starlanders. We’ll see you soon.


RANDY BLYTHE (LAMB OF GOD) VOCALIST CHARGED WITH MANSLAUGHTER: .471 HITS (RANDY BLYTHE POSTS BAIL IN CZECH REPUBLIC: http://spak-individualthoughtpatterns.blogspot.com/2012/06/lamb-of-god-randy-blythe-posts-bail-in.html): 
LAMB OF GOD vocalist RANDY BLYTHE has been officially indicted on manslaughter charges (bodily harm in the 4th degree) in relation to the 2010 death (at the now CLOSED, ABATON, Prague, Czech Republic) of a stage diving fan, DANIEL NOSEK.
The Prague, Czech Republic court now has set a 2/5/2013 trial date RANDY BLYTHE has pleaded innocent and vowed to return to court to clear his name. Regarding RANDY BLYTHE's manslaughter charges (bodily harm in the 4th degree), BLYTHE paid $400, 000 in bail to a Prague, Czech Republic court. 
We all know that RANDY BLYTHE is innocent, and we all hope this comes to a rational "Resolution". 

YOU HEARD IT FIRST ON ITP V.012: STORIES ITP V.012 BROKE FIRST:

*MIKE AKERFELDT OF OPETH HITTING HEAD ON TOUR BUS, OPETH SET CANCELLED, MINNESOTA (http://spak-individualthoughtpatterns.blogspot.com/2012/05/opeth-unconfirmed-opeth-singer-broken.html): Wasn't quite sure of the context of this story, but I was on it, you'll KNOW how a show is going when irate fans start texting on FB DURING THE SHOW. 
* ONLY ONE PER COFFIN: MIKE SCACCIA:(http://spak-individualthoughtpatterns.blogspot.com/2012/12/itp-v012-only-one-per-coffin-rip-mike.html). ITP has a tendency to be the bearer of bad news, (LIFELOVER's "B"), it's never easy to write journal entries about the death of a musician, or bad news generally speaking, you don't want to confirm it, and your heart is breaking while writing.

As ITP V.012 broke many metal news stories.

ITP V.012 BLOG AWARDS: While not always a source, these metal blogs and webzines are pretty damn good. If ITP V.012  can give a metal webzine or/and metal blog an award (2012, other than my own) whom would I give it to?

* THE GAUNTLET (http://www.thegauntlet.com/): for breaking the RANDY BLYTHE "manslaughter" story, along with the very important VIDEO EVIDENCE as that indeed may prove RANDY BLYTHE's innocence. I personally thanked THE GAUNTLET for music/ journalistic integrity for finding the video evidence and putting the RANDY BLYTHE case into perspective. THE GAUNTLET has to be commended, for they are not detectives they are metal journalists doing the job of both, if only the Prague authorities had the same perspective.

** TYRANNY OF TRADITION:METAL SATIRE BLOG: (http://tyrannyoftradition.com/) Written in AP news format, (like the social political satire site THE ONION) TOT is an hilarious satire on metal news and culture, the joke is on YOU and the ironies of the metal scene. This blog had me in stiches, ROTFLMAO.

*** LAMBGOAT: (http://lambgoat.com/) Although I don't read it much, UNDERRATED for breaking metal news and tour dates.

****METAL SET LISTS:(http://www.metalsetlists.com/) METAL SET LISTS FORUM (ITP is a lurker) is very informative and insightful on metal tour leaks.

***** THE PRP:(http://www.theprp.com/) Another underrated metal zine whom break metal news stories.

****** METAL SUCKS: (http://www.metalsucks.net/) Part metal news, with very opinionated satire, the comments section is far more insightful, provocative and hilarious than BLABBERMOUTH.NET's ignorant posters. I have a morbid love and hate with METAL SUCKS, although I do read regularly.

******* THE BROOKLYN VEGAN: (http://www.brooklynvegan.com/): If you live in New York, Ya gotta love the BROOKLYN VEGAN, for multi genre show and news coverage.

**********INVISIBLE ORANGES: (http://www.invisibleoranges.com/)        Metal review blog, with awesome taste, formatted perfectly with awesome reviews and great insight.

************ DOOM MANTIA: (http://www.doommantia.com/) Any blog or webzine written by her is AWESOME, insightful on the genre and sub genres of DOOM.

************** NUCLEAR WAR NOW (FORUMS):(http://www.nwnprod.com/) Although far more right wing than I can stand, awesome insight on TROO and KVLT BLACK METAL.

 *************** METAL ARCHIVES:(http://www.metal-archives.com/):          As we can NOT do without and the fan reviews are genuine, important and insightful.


**************** All of the DSBM, BLACK METAL and DOOM METAL FACEBOOK PAGES:
Thank you for promoting quality black, DSBM, BLACK METAL and FUNERAL DOOM METAL.

NON METAL SITES:
WIKEPEDIA: (http://www.wikipedia.org/): Thank you for a comprehensive user generated dictionary.

URBAN DICTIONARY:(http://www.urbandictionary.com/): Hilarious  and insightful user generated commentary on culture, slang ect.



....And so many more.. 

Thank to the PR, promotions department of record labels, management for your endless spam, I've made use of it, get used to digital, viral marketing, it is the only way to promote underground extreme music, forget radio and TV, viral marketing has stimulated interest in metal. ITP V.012 thanks all extreme metal bands of assorted sub genres for the info, press releases and commentary.

Most of all, thanks to all ITP READERS WORLD WIDE, and friends on social networks, you are invaluable in your dedication to the metal scene.



Also, ITP V.013 NEWS FEATURES NOTES FROM THE EXTREME METAL UNDERGROUND (death, thrash and grind metal news and 2013 tour dates), DAMNED IN BLACK (black metal news and 2013 rituals) and HUMANITY IS DOOMED (Traditional, stoner, death, funeral doom and experimental metal news and 2013 tour dates) will be posted by early JANUARY 2013. All metal news features from this point on will be posted quarterly.
ITP V.012 will also post ITP V.013: THE ART OF DANCE in early 2013.

ITP's author will be doing some editing of ITP in the coming week (yes, ITP is backed up somewhere) as any "haters" whom have nothing to do with the industry will be arrested and sued.
