JOE YOUNG ran for North Carolina state House of Representatives as a Libertarian candidate in 2000.








ANTISEEN unleashed "Everybody Loves ANTISEEN" in 2006 on RUSTY KNUCKLES AND GREEN MIST.


FROM ANTISEEN:
Today we lost my friend and partner of 30 years. Thank you for all the years of love and support that you all have given us. Please keep our brother Jeff Young in your thoughts and prayers. RIP Mighty Joe Young. I love you.


FROM EYEHATEGOD: 
With sadness in my heart, I make this post... 
The prolific Mighty Joe Young - 30 years the guitarist with greats ANTiSEEN has passed away this morning. Rest in Peace brother.
Too much too soon, his distortion will ring out for ages to come...


FROM TREMONT MUSIC HALL (CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA, USA): 
Today we lost one of our local heroes and a personal friend of mine, The Mighty Joe Young of Antiseen.

I try very hard to keep this page Tremont centric and not reveal 'John's thoughts', but today is different.

Joe Young was a long standing pillar in the Charlotte and National Music scene, but he was also a personal friend of mine and I will miss him dearly.

Joe was not only an incredible guitar player, he was one of the kindest human beings I have ever met.

THERE WILL BE A TRIBUTE TO CELEBRATE HIS LIFE.

It is too early to talk of these things right now as we come to grips with our loss, but I assure you Joe will be honored in a manner fitting a man who was so good to us all.

Rest in Peace Friend.

YOU WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN.


Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-R.I.P.

PHILIP H. ANSELMO AND THE ILLEGALS: OFFER CONDOLENCES TO FAN

PHILLIP H. ANSELMO has sent public condolences to fan PEYTON ARENS whom shredded guitar with PHIL ANSELMO as he, ARENS and the ILLEGALS covered the PANTERA classic "Walk" in Tulsa, Oklahoma last year in 2013. ARENS was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer Rhabdomyosarcoma   and died recently.




PHILLIP H. ANSELMO (AND THE ILLEGALS) unleashed  "Walk Through Exits Only", unleashed 7/22/2013 via SEASON OF MIST.





















FROM PHILIP H. ANSELMO AND THE ILLEGALS:
ON BEHALF OF PHILIP H. ANSELMO AND THE ILLEGALS And HOUSECORE RECORDS:
"Dammit… this one hurts deep. There's been moments in my life that have been so extraordinarily positive, uplifting and unique, and I feel very lucky to be able to write those words. However, one of the most uplifting experiences had to have been meeting and jamming with Peyton. He was the bravest kid in the entire room when myself and The Illegals met him at our first gig ever in Oklahoma. I was led to believe he was frail, weak and highly-guarded before we met, but he was anything but that deceptive description. He commanded the entire stage at soundcheck, he shredded on the axe, and completely blew us all away collectively with his quick wit, skills and charm. And when it was his turn to get up onstage come gig-time, he laid into that guitar with as much passion as most pros in the Heavy Metal biz today. He will always be in our hearts. RIP little brother Peyton. You put love into our hearts. Our condolences go out to his brave family and friends everywhere.
With all my heart on behalf of many-
Philip H. Anselmo"

FROM SUMMER BREEZE OPEN AIR 2014 PROMOTERS:



Eskimo Callboy confirmed for SUMMER BREEZE Open Air 2014!
Ein weiteres Mal spielen wir Erfüllungsgehilfe und haben eine Band verpflichtet, die vehement von euch für das SUMMER BREEZE 2014 gefordert wurde: Begrüßt ESKIMO CALLBOY für das Festival in Dinkelsbühl!
Die Trancecoreler sind sicherlich ein Phänomen in der deutschen Musikszene, da sie praktisch aus dem Stand heraus einen wunderbaren Aufstieg in die Top Ten-Region geschafft haben. Obwohl ESKIMO CALLBOY nicht zuletzt aufgrund ihrer Partytexte immer wieder mal in der Kritik standen, gingen die Jungs aus Castrop-Rauxel unbeirrt ihren Weg voran, und der Erfolg gibt ihnen recht: ausverkaufte Häuser in der Heimat, erfolgreiche Touren durch ferne Länder wie China, Russland oder Japan, es scheint, als wären ESKIMO CALLBOY nicht zu stoppen. Und das ist auch gut so, bringen sie doch frischen Wind in die Szene und somit auch nach Dinkelsbühl!
Tickets: http://www.summer-breeze.de/de/tickets/info.html
-------------------------------------------------------------
Once again we play genie in the bottle as we book one of the bands that you have been vehemently requesting for SUMMER BREEZE: Please welcome ESKIMO CALLBOY to the festival in Dinkelsbühl!
With their “trancecore” the band have surely become a phenomenon on the German music scene, as they rose from absolute obscurity to top-ten regions. Although ESKIMO CALLBOY have always been criticised, mainly due to their party lyrics, the guys from Castrop Rauxel have kept doing their thing, and their success has proven them right: sold-out venues in their home country, successful tours of distant lands such as China, Russia and Japan, it seems like no one can stop ESKIMO CALLBOY. And that's a good thing, because they are a breath of fresh air, not only to the scene, but to SUMMER BREEZE as well.
Tickets: http://www.summer-breeze.de/de/tickets/info.html

Has our next commitment for the SUMMER BREEZE 2014, not only in the upper regions of the charts can settle with their best album in the last few years, but will worry in Dinkelsbühl for powerful headbanging action and good mood: GAMMA RAY to the SUMMER BREEZE will fly from the North of the Republic!
As a fixed constant of German melodic heavy metal scene, the musicians from Hamburg are already firmly established for years, but with their current driver 'Empire Of The Undead' they have can surprise even die-hard fans. Kai Hansen and co. deliver a hit fireworks on this disc, which certainly does not need to hide behind the exploits of the early years! Nice to see that the men are still hot on metal... That GAMMA RAY make live a hell of a lot of fun, because they have leave to any stage of their career ever doubt. Can be expected in Dinkelsbühl thus an all-round carefree full operation of the Hanseatic League and we are sure that there will be also!
Tickets: http://www.summer-breeze.de/de/tickets/info.html - with their best album in the last few years the next band confirmed for SUMMER BREEZE 2014 not only have climbed to the upper regions of the charts, but so provide loads of fun and headbanging wants action in Dinkelsbühl. From the far north of Germany, GAMMA RAY will fly in for SUMMER BREEZE!
The Hamburg band have been a household name in the German melodic heavy metal scene for years, but with their latest album ' Empire of the undead' they have managed to surprise even their most die-hard fans. On this new record Kai Hansen and co. deliver a fireworks display of hits that is on a par with the best recordings of their early years. Nice to see that these grown men are still hot for the metal... At no point in their career have GAMMA RAY qualities allowed any doubt about their live, so we can expect on all-around perfect show by the hamburgers in Dinkelsbühl, and we're pretty sure that's exactly what's going to happen!

MASTER confirmed for SUMMER BREEZE open air 2014!

Cult! No back talk! Because the next confirmation is an icon of the death metal underground, and should be familiar to every extreme metallers: Paul Speckmann comes with MASTER to the SUMMER BREEZE open air 2014!
The noughties and his two cronies have released a new, extremely successful work until 2013, but apart from Speckmann is the total cult in the extreme range since the mid-1980s. This is due not only to its merits with the veteran MASTER, but also on his very old fields of activity was cry and death strike, with which he could make the mid of 1980s to attention. Trailer of "blunt ist Trumpf" philosophy come to MASTER easily on their costs, because old school master Bacon man knows that his music needs no unnecessary frippery to get mighty Popo. And that's a good thing!
Tickets: http://www.summer-breeze.de/de/tickets/info.html - cult! No. discussion! Because the next confirmation is a true icon of the death metal underground and every extreme metal fan should know him. Paul Speckman wants to bring MASTER to SUMMER BREEZE 2014!
The beardo and his two colleagues just released a new, very good album in 2013, but besides that, Speckman has been a Cynthia figure in the scene since the mid eighties. This is not only due to his, cry and death but so to his early involvement in bands like was work with the legendary MASTER strike, which drew a lot of attention back in the day. Fans of the "brute is good" philosophy will thoroughly enjoy MASTER, because master Bacon man knows it doesn't take unnecessary adornments to kick major arse. And that's a damn good thing!
Tickets: http://www.summer-breeze.de/de/tickets/info.html

If it can be not hard and freaky enough to you, then the next confirmation with you should meet fully into the black: GUTALAX come from the Czech Republic to the Festival traveled.
The Gore grind combo from Křemže rages in the tradition of good, cock and ball torture or Rompeprop through the area, so we imagine now a delicious Moshpit goulash at the appearance of the sickos. We are curious how many costume makers sail through the skies during the GUTALAX season and who the "texts" of anarchists loudly with can roar of you... Meal.
Tickets: http://www.summer-breeze.de/de/tickets/info.html - if it can't be brutal and crazy enough for you, the next confirmation should hit the spot. Czech Republic's GUTALAX are coming to the festival.
Haling from Křemže, the gore grind combo rage in the tradition of bands such as well, cock and ball torture and Rompeprop, so we can already imagine the mosh pit that will ensue during the sickos' show. We wonder how many costumed fans want to fly through the air during the GUTALAX set and how many of you want to be able to shout along to their "lyrics"... Bon appetite!

Todt crew confirmed for SUMMER BREEZE open air 2014!

I'm glad if bands continue to evolve in the course of her career. The next confirmed band has almost completely demolished the old rotten musical walls behind and now restarts by: TODT FRINGS from Hamburg.
In addition to changes in the occupation of the musicians have evolved also musically on their current album 'Apnea', because with the release of the 2013 published long player their black was worn at the same time metal past largely to the grave. Now dominate avant-garde, progressive parts that have been enriched with lots of atmosphere. Who however now thinks that TODT go live out can build up pressure, which will be disabused 2014 in the summer in Dinkelsbühl!
Tickets: http://www.summer-breeze.de/de/tickets/info.html - it's nice to see bands evolve in their careers. The next confirmed band have almost completely torn down the old, decaying musical walls behind them and are beginning anew: Hamburg's dead crew.
Beside some line up changes, they have therefore evolved musically on their current album 'Apnea', because with the album's 2013 release their black metal past has been pretty much buried. Now their music is dominated by avant-garde, progressive parts that were enriched with a lot of atmosphere. But if you think TODT FRINGS won't be able to build enough pressure on stage any more, you want to be disabused in Dinkelsbühl in the summer of 2014th tickets: http://www.summer-breeze.de/de/tickets/info.html

Cripper confirmed for SUMMER BREEZE Open Air 2014!

Cripper confirmed for SUMMER BREEZE open air 2014!

German thrash metal belongs on the stage, which is why we must announce the Hanoverians by CRIPPER next confirmed band.
Since 2005 driving the guys and the girl already mischief in the thrash metal scene and have can complete since the formation of their band convincingly numerous tours and festival appearances. Front ROAR dice Britta 'Cow Elk' Görtz must be named at CRIPPER naturally first and foremost, which puts on the Crown the varied song material of the band with her previous mark and leg organ. That such a delicate creature numerous competitors pale look, the case is not self-evident, CRIPPER however. Check out this band in Dinkelsbühl indicating they will blow you away!
Tickets: http://www.summer-breeze.de/de/tickets/info.html - German thrash metal belongs on stage, which is why we announce our next confirmed band as Hanover's CRIPPER.
Since 2005 the boys and one girl have been doing their thing in the thrash metal scene, having played several tours and festivals with a great response. "Talking about CRIPPER it is obviously frontgrowler Britta ' Cow Elk" Görtz who deserves a special mention, since her bone rattling voice is the icing on the cake of the band's varied material. It cannot be taken for granted that such a petite lady can make many of her peers the case with CRIPPER pale in comparison, but it is. Check out this band in Dinkelsbühl, they will blow you away!

INQUISITION: RESPONDS TO ACCUSATION OF NAZISM

Seattle, Washington black metal warriors INQUISITION have responded to accusations of NAZISM (METAL INJECTION ARTICLE LINK BELOW)  as perhaps the band had some problems getting across the Western Canadian border on THE METAL ALLIANCE  tour with BEHEMOTH, GOATWHORE and 1349.














INQUISITION unleashed ‘Obscure Verses for the Multiverse, 10/25/2013, 10/29/2013 (NORTH AMERICA) via SEASON OF MIST.


FROM METAL INJECTION:
Black metal band INQUISITION Official, who just toured withBEHEMOTH! in the States, are probably Nazis. Here is the evidence:http://bit.ly/1iuoeI4

FROM INQUISITION:
Dagon here. Apologies to all Canadian supporters. This time the Canadian officer was extremely strict and was definitely loving his job. I thank all Canadian diehards who gave us their immense support in front of the stage and at our merchandise booth; again thank you and hails. It may be awhile to get this sorted out but sooner or later I will have advice from a legal advisor.
As for this other news floating around, a statement was written on my behalf tonight. Read it thoroughly when it comes out and remember to not be emotional about anything related... this is obscure and strong music with passion. No weak hearted nothing and remember... I have half latin roots so use common sense.

Dagon just arrived in Seattle,he will be performing in Seattle at Studio7. Incubus is still on the tour meeting with fans and answering their questions. He will of course be performing the Seattle ritual with Dagon when the tour arrives there. The Canadian boarder issue has nothing to do with any slanderous click bait blogs,only the very strict Manitoba customs agents. Thank you for your interest and support!
Hail the universe.

【關於國際特赦組織】
國際特赦組織(簡稱AI),成立已有53年,於1977年獲諾貝爾和平獎,在一百多個國家擁有超過300萬個會員,為規模最大的國際人權組織。其工作涵蓋言論自由、性別平等、同志權益、居住權、糧食正義...等許多國際人權公約保障的普世價值。去年AI成功推動世界各國政府簽署「武器貿易條約」,限制武器交易。近年緬甸迎向自由與開放,翁山蘇姬公開表示,推動緬甸的人權進展,AI是最關鍵的國際組織。而不管在北非、中東或是烏克蘭,動盪前線總有AI人員出生入死的身影,揭露第一線的人權狀況、救援受迫害的人。
台灣的人權史上也常見AI的身影,白色恐怖時代,台灣各派的良心犯獲得AI各國分會的救援。美麗島大審時,AI是關鍵性的國際人權組織、對專制政府施壓。台灣漸漸民主化後,台灣人也開始參與國際人權工作。1989年,台灣成立了第一個AI小組,1994年正式成立台灣分會。多年來,台灣AI不僅參與包括緬甸、越南、柬埔寨等鄰近亞太國家的受迫害者個案救援工作,更廣泛參與包括武器限制條約、反對性別暴力、尊嚴運動等各重大的國際人權運動。歷任會長包括作家柏楊、律師李勝雄、人權工作者蔡明殿、黃文雄等,現任會長為閃靈主唱林昶佐(Freddy),已擔任兩屆,曾被選為亞太分會會長代表。

【關於景美監獄】
俗稱景美監獄的「景美人權文化園區」,為戒嚴時期的警總軍法處,羈押許多良心犯。1980年「美麗島大審」,包括林義雄、陳菊、呂秀蓮、黃信介等人在此公開受審,獲得海內外廣大關注。2007年完成人權紀念園區設置,包括第一法庭、軍事法庭、看守所、兵舍…等都完整保留,肅殺之氣、壓迫感依舊,2011併入「國家人權博物館籌備處」。網站:http://www.nhrm.gov.tw/NHRM/Code/jm_prospect.aspx
