NO MALLCORE, NO METAL CORE, NO CORE, NO HIPSTERS.FREEDOM FOR UKRAINE
Swedish depressive black metal legends SHINING have announced the band have completed the recording of their anticipated new release "X-VARG UTAN FLOCK", due to be unleashed later in 2017 (release date and more info TB.A.).
Last week, SHINING announced guitarist EUGE VALOVIRTA has left the band, a replacement has yet to be announced.
SHINING released "IX EVERYONE, EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE ENDS" unleashed 4/20/2015 via SEASON OF MIST.
FROM SHINING: Shining have finished recording their tenth studio album, 'X - Varg Utan Flock' ("Wolf without a Pack").
Mastermind Niklas Kvarforth comments: "It has been an ordeal of
gigantic proportions, but I am pleased to announce that the recording of
our tenth album have now come to an end, and I am currently working on
the final visual details before this aural nightmare can be sent off to
our label and fuck up your lives. 'X - Varg Utan Flock' is the direct follow up to our fifth album,
but, as usual it does contain a few unexpected twists and turns that
will send cold shivers down your spines. It was an honour to serve for
two decades as the grand puppet-master and bringer of chaos.
Let there be Blood!"

ITP V.017 UPDATE: BBL WITH MORE EXTREME METAL NEWS...
ITP's author is busy, and may or MAY NOT be available for blogging today, perhaps a day off.
Again, R.I.P. to MR "MOJO RISIN". THE DOORS vocalist, JIM MORRISON, in his dark nihilism, was far more of an influence on metal, hard rock and punk, a true unique band and pioneers.
If the DOORS played today, I would buy a ticket, RAY and JIM are very missed, thanks for the great music, as I get older I love this band more than ever.
Say hello to JIM for me at his grave in Paris.
THE ORIGIN OF MR "MOJO RISIN" (COURTESY OF THE DOORS):

BTW, ITP's EDITOR has taken FEEDJIT widget is down as it could be a JavaScript issue that is not compatible with blogger. FEEDJIT widget has been (at least temporarily) replaced by REVOLVER MAPS.
BTW, if ITP V.017 readers prefer to read ITP in their native tongue, go for it. ITP has added an option for GOOGLE TRANSLATION of ITP to various languages on the right hand side of this blog.
ITP V.017 will be added to MORE BLOG SYNDICATES soon.

MAYBE? ITP V.017 METAL NEWS FEATURES 'might be posted' in SUMMER 2017 featuring THIRD QUARTER 2017 INTERNATIONAL TOUR DATES (don't hold ITP to it, may not have the time). .
I'm working on NOTES FROM THE EXTREME METAL UNDERGROUND (death, thrash, grind, power metal and hard rock news). BLACK METAL NEWS (I'll figure some demonic name for that extreme metal feature soon), HUMANITY IS DOOMED (DOOM METAL/avant garde, funeral doom, drone, death/doom, stoner NEWS), tentatively set for a SUMMER 2017 comeback and due to be unleashed quarterly . Yeah, It's been a while, ITP V.017 journal entries, news and stuff are already being saved for the EXTREME METAL NEWS FEATURES. ITP REVIEWS WILL RETURN IN 2017?
MAYBE. ITP V.017 author REALLY APPRECIATES the support of readers world wide. With a noticeable increase of readers and hits (1, 000 hits per day) YOU make it worth it! As ITP stated last week, ITP REVIEWS (*TEXT) and NEW FEATURES depends upon TIME, and all ITP REVIEWS, (a month after posting sans the MUSIC) will be licensed CREATIVE COMMONS from now on. BTW, CREATIVE COMMONS does not waive an artists or writers rights to copywrite, I could and maybe will copy write ITP V.09-V.014 reviews ect. as CREATIVE COMMONS modifies copyright, under flexibility, for sharing info.

ITP RATING SYSTEM FOR EXTREME METAL CD REVIEWS:
A feature entitled ITP BLAST BACK REVIEWS: A RE RATE of reviews (that year) to see if I over or under rated certain releases. Just the rating, and there's no guarantee that all ratings will change. All ITP REVIEWS are on a BELL CURVE in comparison to previous (band/artist) releases and whatever else is released that year in said genre.
ITP EXTREME METAL RELEASE REVIEW RATING SYSTEM:
***** (5 stars)=Awesome, a classic, timeless, unholy
**** 1/2 (4 and half stars)=amazing, perhaps this bands best
**** (4 stars)=very good, well worth the purchase
*** 1/2 (3 1/2 stars)=Good, standard fare, for fans and not new converts
*** (3 stars)=Good, but flawed, no progression here
** 1/2 (2 1/2 stars)=Bordering on mediocrity, band is overrated
** (two stars)=somewhere between mediocre and SUKETH
* 1/2 (1 1/2 stars)= SUKETH (this release SUCKS)
* (one star)=Awful, this CD can only be used as a beer coaster or a Frisbee.
? (No stars)=this band and release blow goats.

The opinions expressed on this journal do NOT reflect the scene, industry, genre, town, local and regional promoters, venues, clubs or government, landlords, management, housemates ect. No religious wingnuts...Don't blame us as we're straight edge. This journal is anti establishment, but please no national socialists or political propaganda.

BTW, we're straight edge, and we don't like drug addicts. All sources are attributed, there are NO illegal downloads here. Please support music and not rumors. ITP recommends that readers are 18 and up, we are not responsible for raising your kids.
I don't like people whom don't respect the metal genres, or ME following me on or offline, stalking or menacing me, any obsessions, or neighbors looking to fight, or make a delusional conspiracy theory out of nothing, so I will take legal action to define a boundary with posers and bullies. These bullies are NOT allowed at our or any metal shows.

ITP V.015 new policy does NOT allow FEEDS without permission and consent from ITP's author.Consent means sign up for said syndicate, chances are, ITP V.013 was taken without CONSENT, and not without express written consent.
ITP does NOT endorse sexism, fascism, racism homophobia nor porn NONE of that, and ITP is NOT responsible for any statements or actions via readers, artists or bands, separating the artists and musicians from ITP V.018's author.
All videos and music featured on ITP come straight from the labels and bands official YOU TUBE, VIMEO, SOUNDCLOUD and BANDCAMP accounts (I hope they go viral), under fair use, all rights reserved to the artists and labels, courtesy of the bands and labels.
ITP V.20/21's author writes alone, and always has. ITP V.020/21s TEXT is CREATIVE COMMONS (and copy written) as ITP V.020/21 is a media partner for the music/metal industry and under fair use promoting music.
ITP REVIEWS are independent of record labels and others, record labels nor anyone can not censor ITP reviews, making a distinction between Public Relations, advertising as reviews are independent via ITP and have to be independent of record labels..
Censorship regarding issues of denial will NOT be tolerated from anyone nor individuals, sites, as they will be legally liable for slander and defamation of character in a lawsuit.
ITP is NOT associated with DEATH (Although I'm a fan) ITP V.020 is NOT a DEATH fan site, as ITP V.021 is a extreme metal news portal/blog for and about extreme metal.
ITP RESERVES SOME RIGHTS AS IN "FAIR USE" IN THE CONTEXT OF MUSIC, METAL and ENTERTAINMENT PROMOTION AND REVIEWS.
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/
