GRASPOP METAL MEETING 2016 6/17th 18th, 19th, 2016 DESSEL, BELGIUM : "As the incident in no way reflects the opinions of his band members - who were not even present at the time of the unfortunate event - the organisers of Graspop Metal Meeting have decided not to drop Down from the line-up. The organisers are confident the incident will not be repeated in Dessel."

Promoters for GRASPOP METAL MEETING 2016, set to take place 6/17th 18th, 19th, 2016, DESSEL, BELGIUM have sent the below statement as New Orleans Louisiana sludge metal warriors DOWN are NOT pulled from the festival.

PHILIP H. ANSELMO (formerly of PANTERA, currently of DOWN, THE ILLEGALS, SUPERJOINT) has posted (another) apology regarding his behavior at DIMEBASH 2016. In consequence to PHIL ANSELMO's behavior at DIMEBASH 2016, his band DOWN was kicked off FORTAROCK 2016 via the festivals promoters.

Late last month, PHIL ANSELMO issued a video apology after sieg heiling and screaming "WHITE POWER!" as he was lead off the stage via former TYPE O NEGATIVE (current DANZIG) drummer JOHNNY KELLY at the end of DIMEBASH 2016.

Promoters for FORTAROCK FESTIVAL 2016, set to take place 6/4 and 5th, 2016 GOFFERTPARK, NIGMEGAN, NETHERLANDS have announced that in response to PHILIP H. ANSELMO'S actions at DIMEBASH 2016, New Orleans, Louisiana sludge/metal warriors DOWN (featuring PHIL ANSELMO) have been cancelled by the promoters of FORTA ROCK and BOSPOP 2016.

Many artists and metal webzines including METALSUCKS, CVLT NATION, MACHINE HEAD, ALL SHALL PERISH and more have spoken out against PHIL ANSELMO's actions at DIMEBASH 2016 and racism.

RITA HANEY, (DARRELL "DIMEBAG" ABBOTT'S WIDOW) has posted a statement via INSTAGRAM regarding PHILIP H. ANSELMO'S behavior during DIMEBASH 2016 and MACHINE HEAD guitarist/vocalist ROBB FLYNN'S recently published video criticizing PHIL ANSELMO'S actions.

FROM GRASPOP 2016 PROMOTERS:
Down not pulled from Graspop Metal Meeting line-up!
Phil Anselmo’s recent performance at Dimebash, a tribute festival in the USA, has stirred up a lot of controversy. Seemingly intoxicated, Down frontman Anselmo raised his right arm in a Hitler salute while screaming ‘white power’. The organisers of Graspop Metal Meeting completely dissociate themselves from such extremist views and wish to emphasise they fully condemn this racist and fascist message of hate. Meanwhile, apparently realising the error of his ways, Anselmo has uploaded an emotional video apologising for the incident. In the video, he says that “anyone who knows him and his true nature knows he doesn’t believe in any of that”, claiming the outburst was caused by an unfortunate combination of too much alcohol, adrenalin and thoughtlessness. As the incident in no way reflects the opinions of his band members - who were not even present at the time of the unfortunate event - the organisers of Graspop Metal Meeting have decided not to drop Down from the line-up. The organisers are confident the incident will not be repeated in Dessel.

Graspop Metal Meeting 2016 is a Belgian metal festival taking place from Friday 17 through Sunday 19 June 2016. Our line-up represents a cross-section of the best the international heavy music scene has to offer: from brutal black metal and melodic power metal to uncompromising hard rock, thrash, metalcore and more… Every year, thousands of metalheads from across Europe and beyond flock to festival park De Stenehei in Dessel, Belgium, for three days of virtuoso shredding, wrist-fracturing drumbeats and epic anthems. Last year’s 20th anniversary edition hosted a record 150,000 metal fans. With the Metal Town camping facility filled to capacity and a sold-out Saturday, GMM2015 was the most successful edition yet.

Graspop Metal Meeting 2016 is shaping up nicely with 10 new additions to the bill.

BTW, ITP TEXT is CREATIVE COMMONS and you might look silly as I have bit of black list in the music industry and beyond. A couple of issues I would like to address: ITP DOES NOT like PSYCHOTIC people following ITP, you're under arrest, I will sue you. ITP does not promote local and regional artists/bands and music venues whom have screwed me over, don't reciprocate or bands, labels, venues I don't like. It is NOT ITP's responsibility for promoting your venue, club or crap band or show, DIY and promote your self, If I don't promote you or your band are awful, the music is awful. ITP only promotes what SHE likes, go play in your own sandbox. I don't promote local or regional bands or/and venues just because they are local, nor do I ignore bands and venues from out of state and out of the U.S. . ITP does not promote main stream music nor mall core..Only extreme metal.. There are a couple of labels that are blacklisted, one that is national socialist. A few bands are blacklisted from ITP, and one or two venues. Obviously is someone gets in fight over ITP there will be consequences, NOT YOURS, ITP owns her own copy right. ITP is not a request journal, it is an extreme metal source for extreme metal news, no hipsters, ITP is my journal. ITP, while a media partner for most labels,does not write for nor work for record labels and is independent of record labels. ITP is not owned by a record label.
