In honor of the memory of Nisse Karlén Sacramentum will perform UK exclusive "Far Away From the Sun" set at the Cosmic Void festival this Sunday.
We are proud to present Andreas Heljarmadr Vingbäck (Dark Funeral, Gra, Domgård and Heljarmadr) on vocals as a replacement for this show.
Statement from Andreas:
"Dear Sacramentum friends, fans and supporters. In the wake of the tragic news of the passing of my friend Nisse Karlén, I have been kindly asked by Anders and the band if I can see myself filling in on vocals for the Cosmic Void concert, that takes place in London this weekend. After consideration, I have agreed to share my voice with Sacramentum for this specific event. It is a way for me to pay my respects to Nisse, as he has been an inspiration since I first heard the "Far Away from The Sun" album back in ancient times. I encourage you all to come and celebrate the unique legacy of Sacramentum with us..

VIDEO BELOW: DYING FETUS:NEW TRACK "INTO THE CESSPOOL" (VIA YOU TUBE, COURTESY OF RELAPSE RECORDS):
This summer (and fall) of 2025 has been very tragic with big losses in metal music, in particular in extreme metal side of things. Let's say a few words about that.
VIDEO BELOW: RAUTA METAL PODCAST: TOMAS LINDBERG R.I.P. (VIA YOU TUBE, COURTESY OF RAUTA):
From mountainous Styria hail death metal newcomers GRIMMING, who have just signed their first record deal with Napalm Records! One viral song with outstanding numbers for a debut was all it took for the young Austrian band to pique the heavy hitting label’s interest. With dialect, traditional attire and strong stories from their home region, this rising band – whose youngest member is just 15 years old – knows exactly where they’re going!
In celebration of this new chapter, GRIMMING have released a new single, “Wüdschitz”. Perfectly showcasing their strength in storytelling, hauntingly cold death metal accentuates the tragic tale of a man forced into poaching due to famine. Roaring riffs and full-dialect vocals make obstructive hunting laws and the fight for survival against winter’s grasp palpable – until the bitter end.
GRIMMING about “Wüdschitz”:
“‘Wüdschitz’ describes the true story of alpine poaching and the unfair distribution of game laws in earlier times. It is a middle finger to authority and oppression, and no romantic hunter’s tale, but rather the brutal survival story of the foot soldiers who rose up against hunger, laws, and large landowners. Where guns blasted, blood flowed, and the forest became a battlefield, ‘Wüdschitz’ begins.”
Napalm Records Senior A&R Sebastian Muench about the signing:
“The death metal band GRIMMING from Upper Styria perfectly symbolizes the impressive, rugged and mysterious mountains, the lonely green forests and cold, clear lakes of the Ennstal region. GRIMMING combine sophisticated death metal with ancient traditions, stories, and legends. Welcome to the Napalm Records family!”

NEW BAND SIGNING: Death metal band Abyssalis from the US
We're
fortunate to work with another promising death metal band in Abyssalis.
The fact that they have members in common with other death metal bands
on our label such as Eschaton, Unaligned, and Fleshbore only makes
things sweeter. Their style of death metal is techy, catchy, and also
much heavier than normal, with the focus on pulverizing riffs and
unforgettable hooks. Check out the video of one of their songs from
their upcoming release here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVgFrPZX_mw
Band's
statement - "We’re proud to announce our signing with Transcending
Obscurity Records for the release of our new EP, “Adaptation”. This
record is a turning point for us—darker, more unpredictable, and shaped
by change—and there’s no better place for it than a label that thrives
on the unconventional. We’ve put a lot of ourselves into this one.
Thanks to TO for believing in it, and in us. This is the start of
something we’ve put everything into."

Krigsgrav released the following statement about Stormcaller:
"When
we started writing the songs that would make up Stormcaller, our
intention was to create the most complete Krigsgrav album that took
something from every era of the band, while still pushing our sound
forward. A culmination of the blackest hues, doomiest of dirges, and
most soaring of lead guitars. We think we achieved that, but we also
wrote the best album of our career thus far. We trust that when you hear
it, you'll agree."

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.

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.
