OBSCENE EXTREME FEST CONFIRMS VON BLOOM, ANOTHER WAY and JACK 7/15th, 16th, 17th, 2011 Trutnov, Czech Republic

The annual OBSCENE EXTREME FEST set to take place 7/15th, 16th, 17th, 2011 Trutnov, Czech Republic have confirmed VON BLOOM, ANOTHER WAY and JACK for the death/grind fest.
FROM OBSCENE EXTREME PROMOTERS:
The French have always been proudly different and their metal is no
exception. While Gojira upset death metal meatheads by stealing from
Strapping Young Lad and singing about space whales(!?), the dark and
eclectic ZUBROWSKA are baffling fans of hardcore with a death-driven,
atmospheric assault.



Fittingly for a band named after arguably the king of bison grass
vodka, Zubrowska offer an undiluted shot of insanity that hits the
bloodstream almost instantly – best sampled on last year's third
full-length 'ZUBROWSKA ARE DEAD'. Perhaps not an obvious band for
OBSCENE EXTREME 2O11, it's their uncompromising vision and energetic
live show that makes them perfect for the most uncompromising and
energetic festival on earth.






VON BOOM


The swedish crust clan VON BÖÖM sucks your brains and terrorises your
ears since 1984. Don't ask me how is this possible! Anyway,
crust/d-beat fans can wait for Swedish power once again!!!






ANOTHER WAY


ANOTHER WAY is deputizing a new way of grindcore/punk in Hungary. We
call this "Fastcore". But what it means? Maybe punky, grindcore riffs in
higher speed or faster blastbeats. Their upcoming stuff will be out in
springtime what it's called "Az idõ rövid története". More melodies,
faster, complex rhytms and deep, dark lyrics what you'll definitely get
from the band.This gig is going to demonstrate that would be better if
you watch the Hungarian scene!!!






JACK


Jack is the member of the Hungarian extreme hardcore family, mixing
HC/grindcore and punk. They played many gigs accross Europe and shared
the stage with ENT and RDP for example. JACK released 3 full-lenghts and
3 splits (with Step On It,Agathocles, Yattai) so far and waiting for
very first OEF experience this summer!!!

ITP SPORTS: THIS IS NEW YORK: GO JETS

Have you ever seen men and women with their arms outstretched running around trying to imitate a JET flying?
Those are the NY FOOTBALL JETS fans flying high as the football team are in the AFC championship game vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers this Sunday in Pittsburgh. Although ITP's author is a GIANTS FAN, the GIANTS did NOT make the NFL playoffs this year. This, however, is NEW YORK. GO JETS, J-E-T-S , JETS, JETS, JETS.
FROM ESPNSPORTS:


Bart Scott made quite an impression on millions of startled viewers with his postgame rant to ESPN's Sal Paolantonio after Scott's New York Jets defeated the New England Patriots in their divisional playoff game.

Scott's childhood hero, Hulk Hogan, was among them.

"I knew when Bart looked down the barrel of the camera he believed in himself and in what he was saying," Hogan told ESPNNewYork.com by phone. "And that makes him a real dangerous man."

[+] EnlargeHulk Hogan
AP Photo/Charles SykesHulk Hogan on those talkative Jets: Let's hear more!

Arguably the most popular pro wrestler of all time, Hogan was the audacious figure who inspired the Jets linebacker to become one of the NFL's leading trash talkers. Scott's interview with Paolantonio, punctuated by the Jets' new mantra, "Can't Wait," became an Internet sensation and caught the attention of the wrestling legend whose style and moves Scott studied through his childhood in Detroit.

"It was like one of my mid-'80s promos, and all that was missing were a few 'What are you gonna dos?' and some lightning bolts in there," said the 57-year-old Hogan, who now appears with TNA Wrestling on Spike TV. "It was right on the money. I think it's cool that [Scott] is stepping up and showboating it a bit, because it's about personality and entertaining people, too.

"I could tell Bart had been watching wrestling, and it's pretty cool because a lot of these guys are afraid to step outside the box. ... Sometimes when you say stuff you believe it and it happens."

Hogan said he knew Scott had to be a wrestling fan when he watched the video "just by his mannerisms. He had the cadence down, his eyes were real wide, and he wasn't looking at the interviewer but right down the barrel of that camera."

Scott lived by Hogan's articles of faith -- doing your training, saying your prayers and taking your vitamins. Does the Jets linebacker have a potential second career in the ring?

"Oh yeah," Hogan said. "When his career's over and he wants to make some real money, tell him to give me a call and we'll break him in the right way."

Scott is hardly the first professional athlete struck by the magnitude of Hogan's presence. When he first met Wayne Gretzky, Hogan said, "Gretzky asked me to autograph his hockey stick."

Hogan described himself as a casual pro football fan, but Scott has given him a not-so-casual rooting interest in the AFC Championship Game in Pittsburgh.

"I'm going with the Jets," Hogan said. "I love the Steelers, but if my boys with the Jets keep talking smack over there, they're going to go all the way."

PARTY.SAN Open Air 2011 Update: Triptykon, Gorguts, Enslaved, Exhumed + Cliteater Added To The Bill!

Promoters for the 2011 PARTY SAN OPEN AIR FEST set to take place 8/11-13, 2011 at
Schlotheim, Thüringen, Denmark.
FROM EARSPLIT PR:

TRIPTYKON – Raised from the ashes of Hellhammer and Celtic Frost, by mastermind Tom Gabriel Fischer himself, PARTY.SAN 2011 is proud and honored to announce the addition of TRIPTYKON to its expanding bill of bands. Hell literally broke loose with the release of the band’s Eparistera Daimone debut. Pitch black and truly evil music for devoted fans of extreme metal.
http://www.myspace.com/triptykonofficial

GORGUTS from Canada recently joined the PARTY.SAN bill. A death metal dinosaur of sorts, the band formed in 1989 and, having survived a host of trends, tragedies and breakups, are still going strong today. GORGUTS will present to you a technical and extremely furious death metal show you will never forget. http://ww.myspace.com/gorgutsofficial

ENSLAVED are easily among Norway’s finest bands. The progressive black/Viking metal ensamble has remained dark and innovative for their two-decade-long existence and will bring their monolithic blackness to the PARTY.SAN 2011 stage. http://www.myspace.com/enslaved

EXHUMED – Excreting their malignant essence onto an unsuspecting metal scene back in 1998 with their confrontational debut, Gore Metal, EXHUMED have since become synonymous with the genre they helped brand. Their signature sound, a savage blend of snarling, grinding, down-tuned guitars, alternately abrasively screeched and grotesquely gurgled vocals, and pummeling, straightforward drumming, have become universally recognized as the hallmarks of the style now known as gore metal. To be more precise: EXHUMED are essentially the bastard Californian children of the great Carcass. See them live at PARTY.SAN! http://www.myspace.com/exhumed

CLITEATER – We are happy to announce the participation of dutch grinders CLITEATER at PARTY.SAN 2011. If you are a fan of Dead Infection, Necrony or Mortician, this band is for you. Expect a wave of grinding madness! These guys don’t exit the sateg without leaving a bloody mess. Grind deluxe!

PARTY.SAN is an annual metal festival founded in 1996 as an open air birthday party with several local bands. Due to troubles with the public order office the official open air, called Endsommer-Festival, had to be delayed from August to September. Nevertheless the first festival took place unofficially in August, thus there were two open air festivals that year. In the years to follow, festival was held the second weekend in August and has grown to accommodate more than 10,000 visitors and prides itself on showcasing extreme metal’s finest acts. PARTY.SAN 2011 will run from August 11 – 13, 2011 at Flugplatz Obermehler in Schlotheim, Germany.
