FROM AGONIA RECORDS:
We're pleased to announce the signing of the Swedish ritualistic rock/black metal band Hypothermia (featuring ex-members of Lifelover and members of Kall).

Band's new album, the successor to "Skogens hjärta" (2010), is set to be released in early 2015.
The mysticism of Hypothermia is characterized by its highly ritualistic compositions, which are conducted in shamanistic trances of minimalism, and binding their followers in its meditative spell. Always recorded live, sharing with the world something honest and unique.
Hypothermia was founded in 2001 as a means to channel negativity and manifest it in audial form. "Following ancient traditions carried in spirit and blood, through wanderings and introspective journeys a communion with a deity of the void is formed" - comments the band.
After being active for thirteen years the constellation of Hypothermia that has evolved through the years from a duo to a trio, will be stepping further out of obscurity by slowly evolving to an orchestra.
Commented by Kim Carlsson (vocals/guitars): "It is with great joy and pride that we announce this union for our three upcoming works of ritualistic minimalism! As two strong forces emerging out into the world from the underground, we believe this collaboration will elevate and prove to our congregation that those with a bleeding devotion will be rewarded, thus we raise our chalices for a new era!"
The band is:
Kim Carlsson - vocals/guitars
Richard Abrams - drums
Hans Cools - guitars
Stay tuned for more news!

Death metal - Widely imitated, rarely duplicated. Many bands don’t have the skill or the balls to hang with the big guns. However, 2 of the best acts around today in the iconic Suffocation and the merchants of brutality Decapitated are teaming up for a co-headlining showdown between American and European death metal in Australia and New Zealand.

Metropolis Touring is extremely proud to present Despise The World Australian / New Zealand Tour 2015.

Without any argument, New York’s Suffocation are known for their style of fusing aspects of technical modern metal with the percussive, brutal attack of classic death metal which prove they proudly stand well above the myriads of metal bands in the world today.

Since their inception way back in 1988, Suffocation have been terrorising stages across the globe for 25+ years with a backlog of explosively brutal cuts such as Pierced From Within, As Grace Descends, Thrones Of Blood, Infecting The Crypts, Breeding The Spawn and Effigy Of The Forgotten that violently bludgeon your senses while making you bang your head to the uber-groove with technical and precise guitar wizardry melded together with a bone crushing rhythm section. The band proves with every show why they are as well respected as they are. Just listen to their latest album “Pinnacle Of Bedlam” and you will see what we mean.

When it comes to Suffocation’s live show, Metal Injection summed it up best – “Seeing Suffocation live is something every extreme metal fan has to do at least once, because their studio albums, no matter how incredible they may be, don't come close to capturing the true atmosphere of their sound. Believe me, go see them live and you'll be indoctrinated with a whole new understanding of one of the most innovative and influential death metal bands in history”

Formed in 1996, Krosno, Poland’s Decapitated are widely known as one of the world’s most innovative and respected exponents of technical death metal bolstered with layers of groove that has earned them respect with their peers, critics and fans alike.

Decapitated are extremely tight live and deliver an assault of their aforementioned sound with a venomous attack delivered with insane levels of energy and passion.

They were fast on the rise worldwide until they met with an unfortunate series of incidents in Russia where their former vocalist Adrian "Covan" Kowanek and founding drummer Witold "Vitek" Kiełtyka were injured and killed respectively. However, light comes out of black – the events inspired the Decapitated machine to continue on and they came back stronger than ever with Carnival Is Forever and an ensuing world tour. Flash forward to 2014, they just released their newest album Blood Mantra that is massacring ears all over the world to critical acclaim!

So, prepare to Despise The World Australian / New Zealand Tour 2015 with the mighty Suffocation and Decapitated coming to demolish Australian and New Zealand shores in May!

Thursday 30th April - CHRISTCHURCH DuxLive

ITP V.014 WORLD APOCALYPSE: GRAND JURY FAILS TO INDICT NYPD OFFICER REGARDING ERIC GARNER's DEATH VIA CHOKE HOLD

News sources have stated, via a grand jury that there will be NO INDICTMENT (no justice)  nor charges against New York Police Officer Daniel Pantaleo regarding the death of 44 year old man ERIC GARNER  (summer 2014 Staten Island, NYC, NY ) whom died in choke hold in custody during an arrest.                                                                                                                                                
The below video of 44 year old man ERIC GARNER's arrest had gone viral for about 2 or three weeks last summer 2014.  JULY 17th, 2014, NYPD made a controversial arrest via a chokehold regarding a man whom WAS NOT resisting arrest, unarmed as GARNER pleaded, "I can't breathe, I can't breathe".

FROM HUFFINGTON POST:

(BREAKING): FROM CBS NEWS:
BREAKING: Department of Justice to investigate NYPD chokehold death of Eric Garner after grand jury declines to indict police officer

The congressmen are now renewing their call for the Justice Department to commence a civil rights investigation into the death of Eric Garner.

FROM NBC NEWS: 
JUST IN: AG Holder: Justice Dept. to proceed with federal civil rights investigation into Eric Garner's death after grand jury declines to indict officer in his death - http://abcn.ws/1zRoziK
WATCH: Widow of Eric Garner is asked if she accepts officer's apology for Garner's death: "The time for remorse would have been when my husband was yelling to breathe."


It is unlawful for police to use choke holds and lethal force during arrests as that tactic is BANNED although there are still thousands of complaints of such tactics and illegal force. GARNER was breaking up a fight.

Last summer 2014, the NYC MEDICAL EXAMINER'S office ruled ERIC GARNER's death a homicide as the EMT did not administer CPR.

..The scenario became more bizarre: The man whom video taped the ERIC GARNER arrest and death is now charged with "weapons possession"..:

FROM CHRIS ROCK (COMEDIAN/ACTOR) VIA TWITTER: 


VIDEO BELOW: COURTESY OF NBC NEW YORK: 



FROM BILL MOYERS: 
A Staten Island grand jury has reportedly voted not to bring criminal charges against the white New York City police officer at the center of the Eric Garner case. What is your reaction to the decision?

FROM RAW STORY: 
Let me get this straight ... The cop who murdered Eric Garner wasn't indicted. But the guy who recorded the incident WAS?
Dear America: YOU. ARE. BROKEN.

FROM NBC NEW YORK: 
Eric Garner protesters shout "I can't breathe" at Grand Central. More details about the grand jury decision: http://4.nbcny.com/Nfwv3GU
WATCH: Protesters in NYC's Times Square chant "the people united will never be defeated" in protest of grand jury's no indictment decision in Eric Garner case - [ VIDEO: Instagram / fgwaltney ]
ITP V.014 EDITORS NOTE:
Ohhhhh, nooooooooo. This "verdict" is some BULLSHIT, and there's video and everything. Eric Garner seemed submissive, non violent, and very articulate. I send heart felt condolences to ERIC GARNER's family, friends and children as this verdict of failing to indict the cop that choked Eric Garner (choke holds are illegal via the NYPD) is a major travesty of JUSTICE. I'm soo sorry. Fuck this verdict.

We were hoping for a murder conviction charge or at least voluntary manslaughter regarding police brutality is in order, no justice no PEACE. We can't have our police murdering our civilians over nothing, as this seems disproportionate to minority groups.



This is a situation, as for the twist of fate, turned into a life or death situation, by fault of police corruption and incompetence, if GARNER would have defended himself, where resisting arrest via the chokehold would have been a better idea, and I would support, you live to tell the tale, and deal with the rest in court. As this incident, being filmed clearly shows what the cops are NOT supposed to do.
