HUMANITY IS DOOMED (DEATH, DOOM, SLUDGE, FUNERAL DOOM, BLACKENED DOOM FALL 2023 NEWS AND TOUR DATES)
ITP V.023 is BACK with HUMANITY IS DOOMED (DEATH, DOOM, SLUDGE, FUNERAL DOOM, BLACKENED DOOM FALL 2023 NEWS AND TOUR DATES) .
1. Swedish epic doom metal warriors SORCERER have announced STEFAN NORGREN has joined as the bands new drummer. .
FROM SORCERER:
NEW DRUMMER ANNOUNCEMENT
Sorcerer is pleased to welcome our friend Stefan Norgren as the new drummer of the band. He's a very experienced and rock solid metal drummer, and we feel great about having him join our ranks. Stefan also occupies the throne in Seventh Wonder and Faceshift, two great bands that we encourage you to check out. Welcome buddy!
Stefan says:
"When the guys reached out and asked me to step in as Sorcerer's drummer, it was a no brainer! I'm friends with the guys and already a huge fan of the band, and feel super stoked about performing and creating music with these awesome musicians. Also, as a drummer, Sorcerer's music is a new and much anticipated outlet for me. I already get to do my prog and heavy metal stuff in other bands, but Sorcerer's brand of groovier, slower beats is a big part of where I come from musically and I greatly look forward to it!"
So let's all give Stefan a warm welcome

3. Finland based doom metal warriors CARDINALS FOLLY have signed a record deal with SOULSELLER RECORDS.
FROM CARDINALS FOLLY:
CARDINALS FOLLY SIGNS WITH SOULSELLER RECORDS!
New Album ‘Live By The Sword’ coming October 27th 2023.
The Last Bastion of Doom. Those Finnish witchfinders. The ones that won't let go. The truest of the true. The stubbornest of the stubborn. CARDINALS FOLLY. A groovy trio of which name has been echoing distantly in the metal underground for more than a decade. A wild uncontrollable force moving onwards to another record or another adventure. With relentless riffs, heavy metal hails, ride-or-die attitude and true love for the old school doom and metal.
Hailing from Helsinki, Finland and formed in 2007 by Mikko "Count Karnstein" Kääriäinen (Bass, Vocals) and his back-then compatriots, CARDINALS FOLLY has been captained by Mikko ever since then towards new conquests. After several albums, line-up changes, dramas, label disappointments and tours around the world, the current stellar constellation of "Deranged Pagan Sons" with Juho Kilpelä (Guitar) and Joni Takkunen (Drums) has been ongoing since 2014.
On the upcoming new album "Live By The Sword", the band takes almost all that it finds good in metal and molds it into a tighter mass of unholy riffs, blasphemous pagan chants & choruses, luciferian & lovecraftian depravity and all in all a fearless ride to where the witching cauldrons boil hot and the brews are cool. Ranging from slow epic doom to galloping heavy metal and apocalyptic rock 'n' roll, the band loves to murder the listener with all their might. These past few years of plague and uncertainty have only made them angrier and more determined, resulting in this 42-minute onslaught of doomed heavy metal.
Band leader Mikko comments: "After these past few slightly chaotic years, it's nice to sign with a professional powerhouse like Soulseller Records. We're ready to go, ready to put this powerful bastard of an album out and show the world what we can do. We've done now six albums, and not many bands do six albums. Recently we toured in Norway, USA, Finland, Germany and Italy. It's true love towards this deranged craft and evolving it that keeps us going. I honestly believe we're also one of the few bands to steadily improve from day 1 onwards so far. That's not common either. And right now it seems we're in good hands. In a world under turmoil, I'm proud of what me, Juho and Joni have now created. This is our best album. There's no more to tell, and real action beats all words anyway. Crank it up and blast it as loud as you can. The doomed ones ride out again! Our Cult Continues!"
September 6th will see a first new track and pre-orders for “Live By The Sword” go live!
4. Iceland based ambient, doom, metal warriors DAUDARO, via BANDCAMP, are streaming "Fyrstu Skrefin", a track from the bands anticipated new release "NYIR HEIMAR", due to be unleashed 10/11/2023 via ATMF.

Friday 1st December Shepherds Bush Empire London
Thursday 14th December St George’s Hall Bradford
Tickets & Icon collectors edition vinyl plus tickets bundles on sale THIS FRIDAY 2nd June at 10am!
Nick
Holmes says: “Our specific record deal around the time we signed for
the ICON album meant we would never actually own the rights to our music
or artwork, so going forward, to reissue the album ourselves for the
30th anniversary, it was necessary to re-record and completely re-do the
album cover.
Re-recording
ICON has not only enabled us to release it as a series of collectors
editions on vinyl but it was also great to revisit some songs from a
lifetime ago. Nothing can replace those original recordings or ever
will, they are a nostalgic part of all our lives but it has been a lot
of fun revisiting those early MFN days once again, and I hope the end
result displays that!”

*** (3 stars)=Good, but flawed, no progression here
** 1/2 (2 1/2 stars)=Bordering on mediocrity, band is overrated
** (two stars)=somewhere between mediocre and SUKETH
* 1/2 (1 1/2 stars)= SUKETH (this release SUCKS)
* (one star)=Awful, this CD can only be used as a beer coaster or a Frisbee.

BTW, we're straight edge, and we don't like drug addicts. All sources are attributed, there are NO illegal downloads here. Please support music and not rumors. ITP recommends that readers are 18 and up, we are not responsible for raising your kids.
I don't like people whom don't respect the metal genres, or ME following me on or offline, stalking or menacing me, any obsessions, or neighbors looking to fight, or make a delusional conspiracy theory out of nothing, so I will take legal action to define a boundary with posers and bullies. These bullies are NOT allowed at our or any metal shows.

All videos and music featured on ITP come straight from the labels and bands official YOU TUBE, VIMEO, SOUNDCLOUD and BANDCAMP accounts (I hope they go viral), under fair use, all rights reserved to the artists and labels, courtesy of the bands and labels.
ITP V.20/21's author writes alone, and always has. ITP V.020/21s TEXT is CREATIVE COMMONS (and copy written) as ITP V.020/21 is a media partner for the music/metal industry and under fair use promoting music.
ITP REVIEWS are independent of record labels and others, record labels nor anyone can not censor ITP reviews, making a distinction between Public Relations, advertising as reviews are independent via ITP and have to be independent of record labels..
Censorship regarding issues of denial will NOT be tolerated from anyone nor individuals, sites, as they will be legally liable for slander and defamation of character in a lawsuit.

ITP RESERVES SOME RIGHTS AS IN "FAIR USE" IN THE CONTEXT OF MUSIC, METAL and ENTERTAINMENT PROMOTION AND REVIEWS.
SOME RIGHTS RESERVED WITHOUT PREJUDICE Protect Yourself
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/
