STARKILL.

FROM DARK TRANQUILLITY: Founding D.T. guitarist Martin Henriksson quits. While putting
the finishing touches on the material for our next album, we have to
inform you that guitarist and original member Martin Henriksson sadly
but amicably left the band a couple of months ago. Here is his
statement: Dear Dark Tranquillity fans,
I recently quit the band. I feel I have lost the passion for playing
music, and Dark Tranquillity deserves to have members that are 100%
committed to the art. Therefore I decided it’s in everyone’s best
interest to step aside and leave the band with the best possible ability
to grow and get even stronger. I’ve had 26 years filled with wonderful
memories and we made a lot of great music together, and for that I’m
forever grateful. Thanks to all the fans, crew and other people involved
that supported Dark Tranquillity through the years! Yours, Martin Henriksson Photo credit: Sinners Art

entitled 'Old Heart Falls' from our new album – The Fall of Hearts due
for release on the 20th May 2016 through Peaceville Records. On
the release of the first new song Jonas Renkse comments “A song with
lush textures, distinct dynamics and a memorable chorus are the
trademarks to some of the most beloved Katatonia songs. 'Old Heart
Falls' substantiates all of those atttributes, but is not by any means defining the album as a whole. There is more to come..."
About the lyric video Anders Nyström adds "Knowing we didn’t want
another ”font circus” with all these words and letters competing in
olympic acrobatics, we decided to make it extremely simple but also very
real... 30 years ago when we were active in the underground
tape-trading scene, there were no computers around, so we had to write
all our letters by hand, or when feeling extra motivated, we used a
typewriter. I clearly remember writing letters on a typewriter with a
ribbon directly to paper created a special feeling that no computer
would ever emulate. So determined to bring back this feeling for a brief
couple of minutes, we passed on our idea to our talented friend Lasse
Hoile, who made sure this beautiful Royal typewriter served a final
purpose before crawling all the way back to the start, returning to
dust..." Also on friday, april 1st, fans around the world who
pre-order (or already pre-ordered) the new album via iTunes will get an
instant download of the song as a gratification track.

Austrian black metal warriors ABIGOR have outlined 2016 plans and projects, including various re-issues and a new release (release date, title T.B.A.), due to be unleashed fall 2016 via AVANTGARDE RECORDS.
ABIGOR unleashed "LEYTMOTIF LUZIFER (THE 7 TEMPTATIONS OF MAN)", 7/18/2014 via AVANTGARDE RECORDS.
FROM ABIGOR: „the next thousand years are ours“... … but let us focus on
2016 for now. We made clear that we try to avoid contributing to the
oversaturated „market“ and will not flood the mailorders with
merchandise and re-releases. Yet there are a few things planned for this
year, some ideas and projects are in our vaults for a while but now the
time is right. 1. Leytmotif Luzifer on tape AVANTGARDE
kindly licensed this album to W.T.C. who have released a line of great
quality cassettes in the past. And after a few obstacles we had to
overcome, as usual when you demand a certain quality level, now it´s
ready to be shipped. Watch the WTC store the coming week:http://store.w-t-c.web-republic.de/
Quiet naturally, without consciously planning but acknowledging His
will, there was another LL released - THY DARKENED SHADE´s Liber Lvcifer
I, and it felt like a brother album to our own LL. The same focus on
the more sophisticated side of Black Metal is present in both works,
while at the same time, diabolical doxology forged into sonics proved
both releases stem from the same source and point to the same aim. We
submit to this and there is a very limited double tape box available,
wraped in glorious gold to praise the grandeur of the devil. Exclusive
ABIGOR & TDS patches are added for those of you who want to show
your colour. We take this chance to thank Mr. Ben Zodiazepin for his
ongoing layout support. 2. Kingdom Of Darkness on 7“ NUCLEAR
WAR NOW will be printing Norway´s IMHOTEP magazine for the new world,
and we have taken the chance to re-record the most important ABIGOR
hymn, Kingdom Of Darkness. We asked Tharen (back then called Rune), who
already did the 1993 demo version, to contribute the vocals. But not
performing like he does on the excellent new AMESTIGON album, rather
bringing back the atmosphere of the original. This turned out excellent
and won´t be anything like the useless „modernized“ re-recordings but a
true glimpse into the past. Our aim was to flare the original flame of
the old days, as statement concerning the present BM scene, somehow
disoriented in parts, lacking the ancient extremism and danger. Kingdom
Of Darkness was reckless and uncompromising, just as Black Metal has to
be. To underline this, Mr. Unhold has contributed passionate screams of
torture and of victory.https://luzifer.bandcamp.com/…/kingdom-of-darkness-2016-exc… 3. Quintessence on vinyl
AVANTGARDE MUSIC will send the vinyl version of Quintessence to press
in the coming weeks, which we had in mind for quiet a long time and now
feels right before the next steps into the future are made. The limited
LP version will still represent the rougher side of BM, not at least
considering the source (the story of the 2011 2xCD is known by now) but
more dynamic in sound than the CD version - and like the A5 release it
will include ABIGOR´s early demos, with lux devicta est surely being one
of our most important recordings. 4. new album on AVANTGARDE 2016
Right after the recording of the multi-layered Leytmotif Luzifer, the
three of us (PK, TT and Silenius) discussed the need for a rougher,
riff-oriented album with longer parts and less guitar layers. Something
that focuses on a kind of ugly and distorted but also melodic side and
doesn´t try to bend the borders of sophistication at all costs. We
wouldn´t exactly call it „oldschool“, but certainly getting rid of the
constant urge to step beyond the past with every new album. Complex
and dissonant Black Metal these days isn´t mastered by a few spearheads
anymore, any demo level band spreads out into complex, often
harmonically „out there“ fields - and more than often not with the
required art and craft for such musical style. As listeners, these days
we find hundreds of second rate versions of mid to late 00s Deathspell
Omega or furious Antaeus ´blood libels´ style, and there surely are a
lot of retro / pseudo-oldschool albums out there. But where are the
furious milestones like Nattens Madrigal or Apokalypsens Ängel? Works
of profound songwriting and outstanding quality that sonically accompany
Belial´s army storming towards the heavens, or tell of the fundamental
evil in man? Also lyrically - all philosophy, theology and magick aside,
few works are out there that paint pictures in the listener´s head
anymore. Albums which are still based on the satanic profoundness that
is rightfully demanded these days but also do the term ´poetry´ justice?
Many of us musicians in deed are magicians, priests, servants, soldiers
- but the devil´s poets is what we need to be on the next album, to be
released by Avantgarde Music by the end of this year. 5. And then... ...watch out for the next issue of The Sinister Flame, with whom we lead a conversation that was second to none.
We have a high quality LP version of Time Is The Sulphur In The Veins
Of The Saint in mind, correcting a few visual issues that the original
split with Blacklodge lacked in print. And once we find a solution
to the ongoing discussion with Napalm about our old albums, these will
be made available on CD again. We started bouncing back and forth
ideas with Mr. Joseph Olynyk of Nigrum Serpentis for the first and only
official ABIGOR backpatch. And one final Tshirt reminiscent of our early days will see the darkness of the night this year, too.
Last but not least, our joint work with MORTUUS, NIGHTBRINGER and THY
DARKENED SHADE will be available before the eternal summer´s beams will
burn your flesh again - but this will be revealed seperately soon, watch
this space.

BTW, ITP was EDITED in FULL (the entire journal in 2013 (Years ago-ITP looks and reads different huh?.
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.
BTW, regarding monetize for adverts, ITP does not normally do adverts and has not committed to monetize, although I'll look into it, depending on timing and circumstances.
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal and welcome to ITP \m/
