ITP V.022 UPDATE HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE ! Happy New Year to Australia and Asia !
ITP V.022's EDITOR wants to thank everyone for reading this metal blog in 2022, supporting the extreme metal scene and wish everyone a very SAFE and happy NEW YEARS EVE.
See you in 2023 (after a day off for NEW YEAR'S DAY) with the comeback of the quarterly ITP features NOTES FROM THE EXTREME METAL UNDERGROUND (death, thrash and grind metal news), DAMNED IN BLACK (BLACK METAL NEWS) and HUMANITY IS DOOMED (DOOM METAL NEWS).
New Jersey death metal warriors ALTAR OF GORE have posted the bands compilation "INFINITE VISIONS OF VIOLENCE": and the bands 2018 DEMO, unleashed 6/7/2022 via SENTIENT RUIN. .
ALTAR OF GORE unleashed "OBSCURE AND OBSCENE GODS", 2/28/2020 via BANDCAMP.
FROM SENTIENT RUIN:
We’re proud to announce a triumphant vinyl compilation of total sonic savagery from New Jersey’s bestial death metal cult Altar of Gore.
As the title unmistakably hints at, "Infinite Visions of Violence & 2018 Demo" unites Altar of Gore's skull-crushing 2018 debut demo and the equally putrescent 2022 follow up "Infinite Visions of Violence" demo into a single vinyl release remastered for the purpose by Will Killingsworth at Dead Air Studios.
With this release these animalistic tracks find their first ever
presentation on the wax format and sublimate into their final form to
testify the gruesome majesty and horrific violence of one of America's
most barbaric underground death metal acts. Conceived and executed
entirely by Acolyte of the Foul Ones, Altar of Gore is the latest weapon
of death metal carnage to have emerged from the festering and sprawling
New Jersey extreme metal underground along with bands like Blasphematory, Death Fortress, Siege Column and Massive Retaliation, among others, all of which have also seen Acolyte serve in their ranks in one form or another at some point.
Upon issuing the original demo tape back in 2018, Nihil Verum Nisi Mors stated that Altar of Gore "has
tapped deep into the dark recesses of low bass frequency to create a
schematic for dismantling a human body in the most brutal and least
efficient way possible". Those words not only are truest and
resonate with utmost realism almost five years later, but a full twenty
minutes more of the same bestial annihilation is added to the platter
with the addition of the second demo completing side A. What faces the
listener is a forty-plus minute terrorscape of unrelenting gore-drenched
sepulchral death metal insanity. A trance-inducing ritual into the
outermost realms of perversion where influences coming from bands like
Beherit, Von and Demoncy create a repetitive and hypnotic canvas to
which other influences coming namely from bands like Blasphemy, Bestial Warlust, Impetigo, Carcass and Archgoat
anchor themselves delivering and inescapable and horrendous payload of
violence and death. It is precisely this mix of dense, diseased and
mesmeric atmospheres and the underlying cannibalistic savagery with
which the music is delivered which makes Altar of Gore such a unique and
contemplative band to behold in the realms of the most violent American
death metal cults.
Infinite Visions of Violence & 2018 Demo" is slated for a January 6 2023
release on LP and digital formats and all formats are now pre-orderable
via all our channels along with a full stream of the release.

BULLETS OF MISERY unleashed "PURIFICATIO PER AGONE", 3/16/2013 via Iparragirre Musika Elkartea.
FROM BULLETS OF MISERY:
𝙷𝚎𝚣𝚞𝚛𝚛𝚊𝚔 𝚁𝚎𝚌𝚘𝚛𝚍𝚜 is proud to present BULLETS OF MISERY’s highly anticipated new album, Debile principium melior fortuna sequitur, on 12” vinyl format.
Release date: February 2023
Although new in name on the international scene, Bullets of Misery have been slaying the stages with their DEATH METAL in the Basque Country since 2008, having already released three albums and a demo. BULLETS OF MISERY is, beyond any doubt, death metal to the core, however, the band also dares to explore more blackened and perverse sounds. ‘Debile principium melior fortuna sequitur’ is BULLETS OF MISERY’s darkest album, as well as the most elaborate, technical and even melodic work to date. The final result is a five-song/26 minutes of pure basque death metal, sung in an ancient - already lost – form of basque, one of the oldest living European languages.
Recorded, mixed and mastered by Ekaitz Garmendia (Sijjin, Legen Beltza) on Blackstorm Studios in Karrantza between march and august in 2022, originally released on CD earlier this year, ‘Debile principium melior fortuna sequitur’ receives a deserved new treatment, courtesy of HEZURRAK RECORDS

It's now been 7 years since Lemmy moved on. Time goes by so fast. I have been touring the world with the mighty Scorpions since Lemmy's passing and its been great but my Motörhead days are forever welded in to my backbone. It's a huge part of who I am and the Motörhead family is as steady as a rock, forever.
Lemmy, I miss you and think about you a lot but I am quite certain your are rocking the house and raising hell wherever you are.
Let's have a great New Year celebration and an amazing 2023.

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.

***To experience ITP at it's fullest capabilities you'll need a good browser (MOZILLA FIREFOX or SAFARI) and a fast MODEM/CONNECTION (CABLE or WI FI) to enjoy the videos and a good set of HEADPHONES or/and speakers to enjoy the SOUND and brutality. If you subscribe to ITP don't forget to come straight to this blog for updates, videos, REVIEWS, pics for ITP's multimedia extreme metal experience.
To enjoy ITP, you MUST have a BANDCAMP, YOU TUBE or/and SPOTIFY account to headbang.
BTW, I almost forgot to mention, ITP is visible via BLOGSPOT, target FACEBOOK. So add ITP is 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 editors given name, and you'll see ITP V..024 BLOGSPOT posts.
..Or/and join ITP syndicates.
