OLD BREED", unleashed 4/4/2025 via NAPALM RECORDS.
WARFIELD unleashed "WRECKING COMMAND", 4/27/2018 via METAL ON METAL RECORDS.
“Our
new album With The Old Breed embodies everything we stand for as a
band: Brutal, honest old-school thrash with emotion, rage and lots of
energy. Sound-wise and musically evolved from the debut album, we delve
even deeper into the inner human life and the harsh reality of war. Our
goal is to bring out the different layers of despair, manipulation, but
also camaraderie and express it all through musical heaviness. So if you
call the mosh pit your home and feel like letting it all out, then give
With The Old Breed a listen!”
With
their latest record, WARFIELD explores the unembellished and emotional
depiction of societal, historical, social and internal wars – expressing
criticism of the bitter part of reality. Songs like "Appetitive
Aggression" dive deep into the primal instinct of humanity with
light-speed riffs and relentless energy. It's time for new thrash metal
legends from Germany to arise, bonded by blood with the heroes from the
past. Battle awaits…
Built from intense live footage, this video shows what it’s like to experience Warfield on stage — raw and uncompromising.
“Fragmentation” deals with fragging — the targeted killing of members of one’s own unit. The lyrics are divided into different perspectives, reflecting the fractured emotions of the characters involved.

We’ve been a band for 15 years making Death Metal the way we want to and Metal Blade has been here for almost 45 years supporting extreme Metal bands from all over the world. We feel confident that this new chapter will be great for us and we can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on for our next album!

SEPULTURA unleashed
"QUADRA", 2/7/2020 via NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS.
FROM SEPULTURA:
“Beyond the Dream” arrives as the second single from our upcoming EP "The Cloud of Unknowing", standing out as one of the most emblematic moments of Sepultura’s final chapter. It serves as a poetic reflection on a journey shaped by decades of albums, tours, and life on the road. This previously unreleased composition fulfills a long-standing desire of the band to explore the ballad format, blending Sepultura’s identity with the melodic sensitivity of renowned collaborators. To bring this project to life, Sepultura enlisted the essential collaboration of Sérgio Britto and Tony Bellotto of Titãs - musicians who share a long history with the band and are widely recognized as specialists in the genre, as well as composers of classics such as “Polícia. The result of a direct partnership between members of Sepultura and Titãs, the song celebrates the connection between artists who share the stage and a deep passion for creation. The outcome is a piece that brings great satisfaction to everyone involved, establishing itself as both an emotional and historical milestone featured on the band’s final EP, released in this very year that marks Sepultura’s official farewell.

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/
