“Hey living people! You've already witnessed the diverse levels my creations can reach. They're poised to greet you literally everywhere—are you prepared to face the invasion? Will you willingly join us? I appreciate those who attempt to resist the irresistible (shoutout to you little revolutionaries!), but let's be real—you know how this ends, especially if you've seen at least one good movie. Fear not, my army of the Cannibal Corpses is here to find and save you, regardless of the tricky or annoying situations life may throw your way. They'll come for you - no need to worry. Take a step closer, and listen to your fate in "Cannibal Corpses.“

FROM DIRK VERBEUREN (DRUMMER MEGADETH):
Our dear friend Thomas Snyder passed away suddenly last week.
I met Tom and his husband, the late Sean Reinert, many years ago on a music collaboration. Our two families bonded quickly and deeply, sharing a passion for our adored pets, our love of music and the simple pleasure of laughing into the night.
A caring soul, Tom supported and shared everything with his loved ones. He was always up for an adventure, be it a ride on his motorcycle or a trip to the desert with camera in hand, last minute or planned ahead. He was ready to make memories.
Tom's creativity, especially in photography and guitar playing, gave him such happiness, and when times were hard, he would go to that creative place and regenerate.
We will miss your friendship, your kindness, your generosity and your sense of humor, Tom. You touched so many lives and completely altered the trajectory of each one. May you rest peacefully.

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.

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/
