RALPH SANTOLLA (FORMALLY OF DEICIDE and OBITUARY): IN COMA AFTER HEART ATTACK

RALPH SANTOLLA, former guitarist of legendary Florida death metal bands DEICIDE and OBITUARY (and also ICED EARTH) is in a coma after suffering a heart attack due to a blood clot.








 RALPH SANTOLLA left DEICIDE in 2011 as he currently is in the band DEVIL'S HIGHWAY. 



FROM SUE SANTOLLA ROCHA (RELATIVE):
Friend and family..it is out there now so let me tell you what I know. Ralph thought he had a spider bite on Saturday. Went to the hospital. It was not a spider bite, it was a blood clot. Tuesday nite he fell and he had a heart attack. John Rocha gave him CPR until EMT arrive. His heart had stopped but they got him back. His visuals are staple but he is in a coma. He is on a ventilator but he is breathing around it he could breathe on his own but they do not want to had additional strain to his body. He is in a coma. That is the main concern at this moment. They can fix everything else. We are having as many of his friends as he can come and talk to him and play music. There has been a minimal movement but some. It is ICU but he is in a private room and they are letting anyone in and they can stay as long as they want. So please pray as he has people all over the world praying and if you can come and spend time with him. Please..he needs to get back from the place that he is in. I love you all...let’s just work on getting him out of the coma if we can. I will keep everyone update the best I can st Joseph hospital. Van dyke rd Tampa


 Dr just left they are going to do neurological tests later today. Hope is very slim. If you want to see him please come

FROM RALPH SANTOLLA  (5/28/2018 FACEBOOK):

I seriously don't feel very well, and I can feel that venom moving through my body. There is one person, but if things don't work out correctly, will publicly act like they are all upset, but she's not really my friend anymore and hasn't been for a long time. I need one of my buddies or sisters that I can really trust to give a name to in case things don't work out the best way for me. Cause I don't want her pretending she's all upset when she won't even answer me for years now.


FROM OVERKILL:
Just heard the awful news that Ralph Santolla is in a coma after suffering a heart attack. Get well soon Ralph, thoughts are with you and your family and friends

FROM SKINLESS:
Put your horns in the air for our metal brother Ralph Santolla(OBITUARY, DEICIDE, ICED EARTH, DEVILS HIGHWAY) who recently suffered a heart attack and is currently in a coma. We got to know Ralph during our tour with DEICIDE and he's a great guy and excellent musician. May the metal gods see him through this.

FROM KINGDOM MUSIC:

We have received the sad news that former DEICIDE and OBITUARY guitarist RALPH SANTOLLA is in a coma after suffering heart attack.
As you know we have just launched EVERSIN's lyric video for the song "Soulgrinder" with a fantastic guitar solo Ralph played for the song and we all really hope he will get back from the place that he is in very very soon.
Good luck Mr. Santolla from My Kingdom Music and Eversin

SWALLOW THE SUN: "Hi all. We are very happy to tell you that our good friend and amazing guitarist Juho Räihä will be an official member of Swallow the Sun from this day on as our second guitarist."

Finnish melodic death metal warriors SWALLOW THE SUN have announced guitarist JUHO RAIHA is officially the bands second guitarist as a few months earlier, MARKUS JAMSEN quit the band.







SWALLOW THE SUN unleashed "SONGS FROM THE NORTH "I, II and III", 11/13/2015 via CENTURY MEDIA RECORDS.





FROM SWALLOW THE SUN:
Hi all. We are very happy to tell you that our good friend and amazing guitarist Juho Räihä will be an official member of Swallow the Sun from this day on as our second guitarist.
As many of you know, Juho has been playing and touring with us for the last couple of years already, and during that time we have become close friends and that is the most important part of this all foremost. But as Juho is also an incredible guitarist and one of the nicest guys you can imagine, this was the most natural step to take for us after Markus decided to step aside from the band. So, please welcome Juho Räihä to the Swallow the Sun family with a big bang!!
Here is few words from Juho:
"I'm honoured to be asked to join Swallow the Sun as a full time member and I'll be participating in the future albums as well as live shows. During the past couple of years that I have been filling in on guitar, and at times mixing live shows, The STS guys and I have gelled with each other on a musical- as well as on a personal level.
I have also been playing with Juha in Hallatar, which has only deepened my respect for Juha's and STS's music and made it clear to me that this is where I need to be.
Even though I'm bummed about my friend Markus Jämsen leaving the band, it seems a logical, and a welcome step for me and the band to stay on the same mutual path. Last but not least, thanks to all of the fans who expressed their support and were rooting for me after Jämsen's decision was made public.
Thank you again, and see you at the shows!"
Yours truly,
Juho Räihä

FROM WORMED:
(ENG)
We want to share some great news with you. We're very happy to inform you that V-Kazar (Gabriel Valcazar) is joining WORMED as our new drummer!
Gabriel is an awesome and talented drummer; just from the first rehearsal we were completely impressed with his amazing skills and technique. For those of you who don't know, he also does impeccable work drumming in Ernia and Aposento, among other projects. We see him as a promising new talent in the scene! This guy is superb, and we're really proud of having a good drummer, as well as a great person, join our ranks.
In his own words:
"It's extremely humbling to be a part of WORMED after so many years of being a fan of their music. Performing their material is no easy task, but I will do my best to live up to their legacy and Calero's memory. I can't wait to share the stage with them! Stay Wormed!"

Welcome on board V-Kazar! Krighsu is proud again brother!

Gabriel, es un batería increíble y con mucho talento; desde el primer ensayo, quedamos completamente impresionados con su increíble habilidad y técnica. Para los que no lo saben, también toca en Aposento y Ernia, haciendo un trabajo impecable, entre otros proyectos. ¡Para nosotros es una nueva promesa en la escena! Este tipo es excelente, y estamos muy orgullosos por tener, además de un buen batería, a una gran persona en nuestras filas.
Según sus propias palabras:
"Es un verdadero honor poder formar parte de WORMED tras tantos años de ser fan de su música. Tocar sus temas no es nada fácil, pero haré lo mejor posible para estar a la altura de su legado y de la memoria de Calero. ¡Tengo muchas ganas de compartir el escenario con ellos! Stay Wormed!"

Bienvenido a bordo de V-Kazar! Krighsu está orgulloso de nuevo hermano!

SÓLSTAFIR (Is) (Exclusive show in Spain)
(en) Not all bands can be proud of evolving without betraying their roots and their essence. Solstafir are truly masters at it, as their current mix of rock and post-metal continues to sound absolutely dark and raw. Their latest album "Berdreyminn" is a good example of all this. Friday night we will be taken to the cold and dark nights not devoid of beauty. That is Solstafir.

Solstafir son maestros en ésto, a pesar de hoy en dia practicar una mezcla de rock y post metal la banda sigue sonando cruda y oscura. Su último disco "Berdreyminn" es un ejemplo de ello. La noche del viernes acabaremos transportados a tierras frias y oscuras no exentas de belleza. Eso es Solstafir

CANDLEMASS: "I am happy and proud to have our friend and producer Marcus Jidell to fill in for me with such short notice. It will be a great show and I will see you soon out there! Mappe"

Stockholm, Sweden based doom metal legends CANDLEMASS have sent this update as guitarist MATS "MAPPE" BJORKMAN is unable to perform this Friday at FREAK VALLEY.










CANDLEMASS unleashed "HOUSE OF DOOM" (EP),  5/25/2018 via NAPALM RECORDS.

 CANDLEMASS unleashed "DEATH THY LOVER" (EP), 6/3/2016 and "PSALMS FOR THE DEAD", 6/8/2012 both via NAPALM RECORDS.







FROM CANDLEMASS:
Hi everyone/
I want to clarify why I’m not able to perform this Friday at Freak Valley.

A few weeks ago I was rushed to the hospital with severe infection on the balance center of the brain. There is no direct treatment, still it’s not really dangerous.
My balance is not back to 100% and my doctors said it was a bad idea to be on an airplane (+ playing a show) such a short time after the incident.
I really thought I would be able to do Freak Valley but the decision to cancel was taken just a couple of days ago.
I am happy and proud to have our friend and producer Marcus Jidell to fill in for me with such short notice. It will be a great show and I will see you soon out there!

DIVINE ECSTASY: STREAMING NEW TRACK "LOST IN THE CATACOMBS"

Detroit, Michigan black metal warriors DIVINE ECSTASY, via SOUNDCLOUD, are streaming  "LOST IN THE CATACOMBS", a track from the bands anticipated debut release "STRANGE PASSIONS" (EP),  due to be unleashed 8/10/2018 via IRON BONEHEAD PRODUCTIONS. 








FROM IRON BONEHEAD PRODUCTIONS:
Today, Iron Bonehead Productions sets August 10th as the international release date for Divine Ecstasy's striking debut mini-album, Strange Passions, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.
Hailing from the darkest and dingiest recesses of Detroit's metal underground, Divine Ecstasy are a sonic embodiment of all that post-apocalyptic city's grit and grime, simply taken to a black metal extreme. This filthy foursome are unapologeticaly raw and regressionist, hailing the most ancient, trend-free days of early BLACK fucking METAL. Such gods as pre-Viking Bathory, Mayhem, Root, Bulldozer, and Master's Hammer are indeed hailed - as well as later torch-carriers like early Ulver, Dodheimsgard, Judas Iscariot, and Hades (Norway) - and then desecrated in a most salacious manner, so sick and sickening is the heart that beats black blood through Divine Ecstasy. Indeed, Strange Passions is aptly titled, for perversion and Bacchanalia guide these six mini-anthems as surely as devil worship and the invoking of demons - and it's all done with a Loki-like sense of wrongness. Truly, these Strange Passions are so wrong, they're right...right inside the depths of Divine Ecstasy!

MACHINE HEAD: "12 dudes on a bus for 10 weeks… What could go wrong? "

Bay Area, U.S.A metal warriors MACHINE HEAD  have posted a statement on the touring lifestyle as the band has just ended a touring cycle.









MACHINE HEAD unleashed "CATHARSIS" 1/26/2018 via NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS.


MACHINE HEAD unleashed  "IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE",  (SINGLE)  6/3/2016 via NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS. 





FROM MACHINE HEAD:  

12 dudes on a bus for 10 weeks… What could go wrong?
Actually the better question is, what could go right? A LOT!!
The simple fact that the 12 of us didn’t all kill each other and managed a considerable level of civility toward one another is a small miracle.
Out here, the line between boss/employee, friend/colleague, room-mate/landlord can get blurred beyond all recognition. We’re a group... but we’re not. Privacy is erased, the chatter constant. From morning til night people are around you. And that doesn’t even include the fans that wait outside the bus at 9AM, asking for selfies, when all you want to do is take a shit after waking up.
The days are long, the nights sometimes longer, you can be lonely and bored and sick of everyone around you all in the same breathe. Exhausted but can’t sleep, happy but sad, high and low… all while you bounce down the road for hours on end, never really getting a deep sleep until you park at the venue.
And everywhere you go people stare… cause they love what they think you are… or, cause they hate what they think you are.
Many of us sacrifice time away from our families, our kids, our girlfriends. Relationships are tough out here. The ones at home can’t handle the loneliness and uncertainty. Is he cheating on me? Would he tell me if he was?
And it can be a grind…
Somedays the road just wears you down to the bone.
Somedays you cry for no reason at all.
You talk to strangers like they’re friends, trying to make a connection, but walk away feeling disconnected.
So you focus on the work. The pride in your craft.
People die, people are born, people fight, people don’t speak to each other, people get married, and somehow you just tuck your chin down and keep walking through the hurricane.
And it all leads up to (in our case) the 3 hours of music that makes every moment worth it. 180 minutes that most of the time makes life worth living. Reaffirms humanity. Shows that we’re nothing short of incredible, with fans so crazed, and loud, and passionate, we were often left speechless and a little verklempt. Sold-out date after sold-out date, we hit or passed the 3-hour-mark regularly, the loudest sing-a-longs in history, the biggest merch numbers in history, best attendances of the last 10 years, and all without a package, just Machine Fuckin’ Head.
In addition to the 18 “standards” in our setlist we rotated a whopping 32 songs in and out, making it our most diverse setlists in history.
And the 8 guys that work for / travel with us, build that canvas for us to paint on. Without our crew the show doesn’t happen, period. The workload on them is considerable. These guys "make a dollar $ outta .15 cents" on the regular. Machine Head is not a huge touring organization, they all wear MANY-hats. What happens behind the scenes is often-times more important than what you see onstage.
Including the 7 week US run prior, we’ve been out over 4 months with a 9 day break in between. Until you’ve done 10 weeks straight, you’ll never comprehend how hard it is.
16 hour days, 3 to 4 shows in-a-row, we all eat dinner at midnight… the day ends at 2AM. The crew get none of the glory, the perks are few (though weed and booze are plentiful, and the single-guys get most of the pussy), plus the local crew can make their day amazing or a disaster.
Man... we had some damn good times on this run.
Some EPIC "Dawn Patrols” laughing our asses off, singing gloriously horribly into the wee hours of the morning (afternoon?).
Some of these guys have been with us for years, some are on their first tour. We’ll lose some along the way, pick up others, but for these 10 weeks in Mar-May 2018, these 8 grizzled sonsabitches fucking KILLED IT for Machine Head, and for that we are SO grateful.
Massive shout out to Pot Rod, Ham Smasher, Pandoro Dudesky, Church, The 57th best Tour Manager in the world, Ma-Ha-Rog, new guys Junior and Bitch Tits, Volker, (plus Nikolas for the first 2 weeks, and a 13th bus-rider for a large chunk of it, Creepin’ Jern).
70 days, 44 shows, 120+ hours onstage, over 1000 songs played, and tens of thousands of Head Cases rocked.
Fuckin’ A… well done men.
Give these gentlemen a hand.
- Robb

ITP V.018 UPDATE: BBL WITH MORE EXTREME METAL NEWS

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY U.S.A. and thanks to those for their service, courage and the ultimate sacrifice. Remember our heroes.

Congrats to NBA EASTERN CONFERENCE CHAMPS THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS..On to the NBA FINALS!!! 

ITP V.018 is BACK, with (hopefully) more consistent blogging.
BTW, as  NETWORKED BLOGS, syndicate is CLOSING, GOOGLE +, TWITTER, MYSPACE OR BLOGSPOT might (I haven't decided on the specific syndicate) be the "feed in" syndicate to  FACEBOOK. So add ITP V.018 under said bloggers given name on FACEBOOK. Not all ITP V.018 posts show up on the main feed nor get passed my timeline (isn't that the truth on FB, only 15% of posts end up in the main feed passed your timeline). Just switch your setting to "SEE FIRST" under ITP V.018's editors given name, and you'll see ITP V.018 syndicated posts. MORE INFO and specific syndicate T.B.A.
..Or/and join ITP V.018 syndicates below.


Regarding NETWORKED BLOGS, they are discontinuing the widget and overall service.
ITP V.018 will syndicate to FACEBOOK using GOOGLE + or MYSPACE in replacement of NETWORKED BLOGS.

ITP V.018 would like to thank  NETWORKED BLOGS for everything and networks/readers are free to add ITP V.018 on social media.

Hi Theresa

Our records show that you have one of our widgets on your blog. We'd like to let you know that we're in the process of stopping all widgets, so please remove them from your blog because they will not render correctly going forward.
This is part of the gradual shutdown of NetworkedBlogs that we started about three years ago. Initially, we stopped accepting new user registrations, and over time we stopped services gradually to reduce the impact on our users. We're at the final stages of the process and will be shutting down the remaining services soon.
We have more details about the background of this and answers to common questions here:
http://www.networkedblogs.com/help/farewell
We've had the pleasure of offering this service to you over many years, and we hope we offered something useful and interesting. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to us.
Regards,
NetworkedBlogs Team

ITP V.018 IN COMPLIANCE WITH GDPR:
  https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/23/technology/personaltech/what-you-should-look-for-europe-data-law.html

 All cookies have to be compliant with EUROPEAN UNION visitors and GDPR. There's a little notice on the bottom of ITP V.018 stating cookies will track you so BLOGSPOT and GOOGLE ANALYTICS can give an accurate hit count and from where these hits are coming from.

UK,. EUROPEAN UNION and international visitors are very important to ITP V.018 and very valued.
Regarding widgets on the blog, I can't confirm what they are doing, as they need to be compliant to the new EU law regarding cookies. Widgets that are non compliant with EUROPEAN UNION  and GDPR internet law will be removed when the link is broken.






Via various widgets and GOOGLE ANALYTICS I can track what town, city, country  ITP readers live in. Via various widgets and GOOGLE ANALYTICS ITP can track your operating system, where you are on the web including FACEBOOK, ISP number ect.

Sounds scary right? I rarely look deeply into ITP reader info unless I need to block a visitor or send a copy right infringement and protecting the blog from a stalking entity.  NOW those people know what I don't tolerate.  


With your CONSENT, can we track you?

ITP V.018 is clueless regards to the disappearance of the BLOGTOPLIST gadget. ITP V.018 will give it some time, and see what happens as perhaps I'll remove the code.

I'm, not posting  ITP V.017 QUARTERLY (BEST OF 2017). However, time permitting, I will post ITP V.018 QUARTERLY, BEST OF WINTER 2018 soon.


BTW, if ITP V.018 readers prefer to read ITP in their native tongue, go for it. ITP has added an option for GOOGLE TRANSLATION of ITP to various languages on the right hand side of this blog.




BTW, ITP HAS HIT A MILESTONE OF OVER 2 MILLION HITS ALL TIME:
Pageviews all time history
2,004,072






ITP V.018 will be added to MORE BLOG SYNDICATES soon.

          MAYBE? ITP V.018 METAL NEWS FEATURES 'might be posted' in WINTER/SPRING 2018 featuring FIRST and SECOND QUARTER 2018 INTERNATIONAL TOUR DATES (don't hold ITP to it, may not have the time). . I'm working on NOTES FROM THE EXTREME METAL UNDERGROUND (death, thrash, grind, power metal and hard rock news). BLACK METAL NEWS (I'll figure some demonic name for that extreme metal feature soon), HUMANITY IS DOOMED (DOOM METAL/avant garde, funeral doom, drone, death/doom, stoner NEWS), tentatively set for a WINTER/SPRING 2018 comeback and due to be unleashed quarterly . 
           
           
          Yeah, It's been a while, ITP V.018 journal entries, news and stuff are already being saved for the EXTREME METAL NEWS FEATURES. ITP REVIEWS WILL RETURN IN 2018? MAYBE. ITP V.018 author REALLY APPRECIATES the support of readers world wide. With a noticeable increase of readers and hits       (1, 000 hits per day) YOU make it worth it! As ITP stated last week, ITP REVIEWS (*TEXT) and NEW FEATURES depends upon TIME, and all ITP REVIEWS, (a month after posting sans the MUSIC) will be licensed CREATIVE COMMONS from now on. BTW, CREATIVE COMMONS does not waive an artists or writers rights to copy write, I could and maybe will copy write ITP V.09-V.014 reviews ect. as CREATIVE COMMONS modifies copyright, under flexibility, for sharing info.
