NO MALLCORE, NO METAL CORE, NO CORE, NO HIPSTERS.FREEDOM FOR UKRAINE
Here's another installment of HUMANITY IS DOOMED (DOOM METAL NEWS PART 4) and consider this edition of HID the LAST for 2009 as we will keep this feature going into this decade. DAMNED IN BLACK (BLACK METAL NEWS) coming up tomorrow (hopefully). I'll be working on and updating HUMANITY IS DOOMED PART 4 in the next few days. SOURCE OF NEWS: DOOMMETAL.COM., MYSPACE BAND ACCOUNTS, BLABBERMOUTH.NET, SOLITUDE PRODUCTIONS, DOOM METAL ALLIANCE MYSPACE, SMNNEWS.COM, BORN IN BLOOD.COM (DOOM METAL), EARTHDOG PRODUCTIONS, HELLRIDE MUSIC, FIREBOX AND FIREDOOM RECORDS, and STONER ROCK.COM: * UK funeral doomsters ESOTERIC are still looking for a new keyboardist as the band have added a new guitarist and have started a FACEBOOK page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Esoteric/224227908107?ref=nf FROM ESOTERIC (UK) MYSPACE:
We are proud to announce that Jim Nolan has joined the band on guitar. A very fine successor to the recently departed Kris Clayton.
We are currently writing and rehearsing new material for the sixth album, which we will begin recording later this year at the Priory Recording Studios.
We have shows in the UK, Italy, Belgium and Poland in the coming months. ** French Gothic doomsters MODERN FUNERAL ART have signed with Apollon Records and will release the bands opus "Doom with a View: in early 2010. *** California stoner doom legends SLEEP are reuniting for a 2010 U.S. tour TBA, STAY TUNED. **** Greek death doomsters DECEMBERANCE have released the bands debut entitled "Inside" in CD/DVD combo format. FROM DECEMBERANCE MYSPACE: Finally, our debut album "Inside" is OUT....in Greece, Cyprous an in the U.K...

Price : 10 euros + postal fees
Soon, live dates will be announced in Thessaloniki, Patras an a special show in Athens...Stay tuned...
We, Decemberance, would like to thank you ALL for your support.......!!!!!
DOOM... ***** UK progressive doomsters PANTHEIST have added a new guitarist and issued this band update. FROM PANTHEIST MYSPACE: So, the radio plays constantly and unrelentingly 'It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year' or 'Let It Snow'; yet all I see around me are executions of people with learning difficulties, greedy publicans walking like zombies in multistories and snatching last minute deals while at the same time exchanging their Christmas presents for money, radical lunatics trying to blow up transatlantic planes during landing and other such heart warming events. To make matters worse, my favourite football team has failed -for the third year in a row- to buy a trustworthy central defender, and are now in danger of having their patchy defence exposed by the warriors of AS Roma. It's all looking gloomy, and I guess I'll blame it on my extensive 'doom' training throughout the years.
Anyhow, we are not here to discuss world events; there are luckily some positive news as well. After a search that lasted for several months, we found ourselves jamming and rehearsing with Pepijn Van Houwelingen (ex In Age and Sadness). Although he is is known as a bass player/vocalist from his previous band, we discovered that he is a damn fine guitar player as well, so we'll continue to work with him and look forward to introduce him as our second guitar player in our upcoming gigs. We thank everyone who applied for the position, but as you all know there was only one position for guitar player to be filled.
We are also currently working on new tracks, and are quite excited about how they are shaping up to be. Those of you who were lucky enough to see us in our October gigs, might have noticed that the new track we played (Broken Statue) has a more accessible sound than what people are used to from us, although still retaining that crucial Pantheist identity of epic mysticism. Most new tracks seem to be going in the same direction, favouring clean vocals and melodic riffs over brutal grunts and grinding parts. However, rest assured: the guitars will still be heavy and weighty and the tempos still uncomfortably slow. It's just a different approach, and we will be thrilled to try out a few new tracks upon unsuspecting audiences in our upcoming gigs.
Lastly, we are also contributing a track to a split album with Remembrance, Gallileous, Dissolving of Prodigy and Wijlen Wij. This album, which will carry the theme of superstition as interpreted by the five bands, is to be released at some point in 2010 and the featured track will be a bit more 'regressive' -as it is to be expected from an irregular release- featuring a sound closer to our '1000 years' demo but with a more melodic touch. We will be keeping you informed on the developments.
Here's to an exciting (but equally dark) new decade... ****** Norwegian funeral doomsters FUNERAL are hard at work on a new release for TABU RECORDINGS due out later in 2010. FROM FUNERAL MYSPACE: The next album is taking shape. The playtime will be around 70 minutes(as tradition demands), and the label is planning a spring release. Orchestration this time is more grandiose than ever, and the vocals contains alot more variation. Funeral is more hungry than ever, and looking forward to presenting new material, as well as playing much more live! Watch out for excerpts from new tracks! ******* Irish doom gods MOURNING BELOVETH have announced that the bands guitarist Brian Delaney has left the band to be replaced by Pauric Gallagher (DECAYOR). FROM MOURNING BELOVETH AND BLABBERMOUTH.NET: "After more than a decade of inebriation and abuse, adventure and struggle, and four albums straight from the heart, Brian has decided that his journey with us as an active part of MOURNING BELOVETH has run its course. Not an easy decision; those of you that know us know the major part Brian played in developing the unique MOURNING BELOVETH sound."
The group adds, "Some bonds are made not to be broken, and this is one of them."
Regarding MOURNING BELOVETH's plans for 2010, the band says, "Along with the re-launch of www.mourningbeloveth.com, complete with our brand new web-store, the imminent release of the split 10" with Irish gutter dwellers WRECK OF THE HESPERUS, April sees us take the stage for Doom Shall Rise VII, our second appearance at the hallowed Church of Doom and a gig in London in May with our friends ESOTERIC will see us cross the pond to our first show in England in maybe five years." ********Norwegian doomsters SYRACH have updated the public on the status of thier band. FROM SYRACH MYSPACE: As some of you may know, our beloved drummer Adam recently got a job in Oslo. This is about 8hrs away from Bergen by car or train or a 40 minutes flight. This makes rehearsals a drag, since he won't come over twice a week... So as a solution to this problem, we have started to rehearse with the wiz-kid Michael from the band NEOPLASMA. He's 17 years old, and very talented drummer and a great person as well. He will NOT replace Adam in the band, but rather help us out making new music since we need someone there to keep the rythm. We have had two sessions with him, and two songs are now "ready". We will do more on these sketches when the lone traveller will make his way to Bergen. Hopefully it will be soon.
So fear not, people! There are more SYRACHIAN doom, coming your way in the future!
skål,: ********* Belgium doomsters SARDONIS are set to unleash the bands self titled debut via METEORCITY in early 2010. FROM SARDONIS MYSPACE: This album will consist of nine pieces of instrumental heaviness with the riff as centerpoint in the everlasting thick storm.

More details on a vinyl release and upcoming tours to be announced soon. ***********Brazilian doomsters DESOLATE WAYS are preparing to unleash a new CD entitled "Last Moons" via Brazil's DIE HARD RECORDS. Three songs from the upcoming CD, 'Immaculate', 'Frozen Leaves', and 'Regret', are available on the band's MySpace page. FROM DESOLATE WAYS: This new release will feature Josie, the female vocalist of the dark metal band A SORROWFUL DREAM, who will sing on the track 'Winter'.
About the invitation to take part on this album Josie comments: "I loved receiving the invitation to be part of Desolate Ways' new album. It's a great honour. Both bands, A Sorrowful Dream and Desolate Ways, are long time friends and already played together several times in Brazil and we always admired their music. Having the opportunity to contribute for their forthcoming album makes me feel very flattered and anxious for the result. Even both bands playing similar genres, there is a huge difference between our music, which makes everything more interesting. I hope to give a good contribution to one of the most important bands of the genre in our country, and which will definitely present another work made with extreme competence and quality." ************** UNTIL DEATH OVERTAKES ME have recorded some new material for an as of yet untitled new release. FROM UNTIL DEATH OVERTAKES ME: New album containing several tracks from the earlier releases, completely rerecorded, as well as several unreleased tracks.
And for those with no money, it's already available as illegal download even before i have the album myself. I'll provide a proper download as well in the future. Don't complain to me if some random download eats your computer or turns your genitals inside out

We hope you're having a good holiday as this is special day celebrating the liberties and gains of civil rights here in the USA. Yes, today is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday as the civil rights message shall be heard all over the world.
However, EUROPE and RUSSIA still have many gains to make, as fascism exists in a casual and violent manner. Soccer (European football-A very popular sport in pretty much any place other than the USA-as popular as American football or American baseball) draws it's fair share of fascist hooligans whom chant fascist slurs against often there own home team non white players. When communism fell in RUSSIA (1991, GLASNOST) the gap between the rich and poor widened as RUSSIA's walls came down and borders opened to immigrants. With economic issues and polarization, Russian citizens turned against immigrants with video taped violent attacks..
If one enjoys an American baseball game, ya might here some funny chants from the bleachers ("Derek Jeter is a horses ass"-nothing personal against Derek Jeter, he's awesome) as they stop selling beer at baseball stadiums by the 7th inning, ya think the behavior of American sports fanatics is bad?!
Pfft, European football (soccer) fans are downright fascist, akin to the tension and the abuse Jackie Robinson endured as he broke the color barrier in baseball. The chants during European soccer matches are intolerable, and fascist.
The irony of these football hooligans is that one of the greatest soccer players PELE was non white, as RUSSIA, ended Hitlers reign as Russians suffered more loss of life in WW2 than any other country in that conflict.
These below videos explain that extreme fascism is almost a norm in the mainstream of European entertainment and culture and I will also post the antidote ANTIFA, A Dr. Martin Luther Jr. speech and some funny videos about enduring ignorance.
Stay FREE, IGNORANCE IS NOT BLISS..
(THE BLIND DATE-about insecurities, pre conceived notions and mis perceptions) (ANTIFA ATTITUDE): (RACISM IN METAL): Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l- HAPPY MLK DAY
Soul r and b singer TEDDY PENDERGRASS has passed on as he lost his fight with colon cancer. RIP TEDDY.
FROM EXCLAIM: RIP Teddy Pendergrass, 1950-2010 1/14/2010 By David Dacks
Teddy Pendergrass, one of the last soul singers of his kind, has died of colon cancer at the age of 59. Possessed of a super-manly baritone, "impassioned" is too tame a word to describe his vocal delivery. Known as the "Teddy Bear," he was able to frame a gritty voice within smooth phrasing that made him irresistible to many.
Pendergrass died Wednesday (January 13) in Philadelphia, where he had been in hospital for months. The singer's son told the Associated Press that his father underwent colon cancer surgery eight months earlier and had a "difficult recovery."
Pendergrass was the brightest solo star of Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff's Philadelphia International label during its '70s heyday, bringing symphonic soul to its highest heights then moving to earthier and more electronic sounds as times changed. A native Philadelphian, Pendergrass started with Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes as a drummer in 1969. He graduated to lead singer by the following year, and Gamble and Huff made the group one of their new label's initial signings in the early '70s. They had success immediately with eternal ballads "I Miss You" and "If You Don't Know Me By Now," and a sex symbol was born. The Blue Notes' greatest success came with uptempo dance numbers thay presaged disco, such as "The Love I Lost" and "Bad Luck."
By 1977, Pendergrass struck out on his own and recorded three million-selling albums produced by Gamble and Huff and their various protégés (including McFadden and Whitehead). During the late '70s, Pendergrass was known for his infamous "For Women Only Concerts," which, according to anthology liner-note writer David Nathan, "everything you heard was true: young, middle-aged and if-their-husbands-knew-they'd-be-in-big-trouble older women were crowding the stage, throwing phone numbers and occasionally panties at him."
Moving into the '80s, Pendergrass refined his sound to include funky slow jams like "Love TKO" and "quiet storm" classics like "Turn Out the Lights."
In 1982, he was involved in a major car accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down, but he continued to make music. He scored again in 1985 with Workin It Back, which went gold, and played Live Aid the same year. He formed Teddy Bear productions to further branch out his musical visions.
Pendergrass continued to experience health problems but rebounded once again to score a No. 1 R&B single in 1991: "It Should Have Been You." He toured with the musical Your Arms Too Short to Box with God in 1996 and wrote an autobiography in 1998.
In 2006, Pendergrass announced his retirement, though he performed one more concert for charity the following year. Last year, he had a medical procedure to address his cancer, but in the end he lost the fight. Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal, Keep Your Soul-\m/ -l-

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/
