FROM NAPALM RECORDS:
Epic Doom Icons Candlemass Announce EP Release Details
and Share Brand New Lyric Video!
Listen to the EP Title Track, and pre-order "The Pendulum", here: https://smarturl.it/ThePendulum
Grammy-nominated classic doom icons CANDLEMASS don't even need to drop a
full-length for every release to prove they belong at the top of an
entire genre and beyond. Fully comprised of never-before-heard, unused
tracks cut from the The Door To Doom recording sessions, the band has
just announced the release of a masterful new EP, The Pendulum, due out
March 27, 2020 via Napalm Records!
The Pendulum perfectly
showcases that these timeless Swedish pioneers are the undisputed kings
of epic doom. The fully-mastered opener/title track “The Pendulum”
charges in with a melodic, head-swinging, thrashy rush - setting the
stage for the raw, unfiltered steamrolling demo cuts to follow.
Says band mastermind Leif Edling: "THE PENDULUM" is about hard riffing,
epic choruses and total delusion the fanatical way. It is in fact the
last thing I wrote for "THE DOOR TO DOOM" album but didn't have the time
to finish it. Here it is in its grand/mad luster with a great mix by
Niklas Flyckt, and produced by Marcus Jidell. It is followed by 5
unreleased demos from the DTD sessions because the whole sha-bang was at
first supposed to be a double effort but got trimmed down to a single
album eventually.
I love the PENDULUM track, album quality if you
ask me, and songs like "THE PORCELAIN SKULL" and "SNAKES OF GOLIATH"
are not bad either.
They just didn't make it to the final thing. So I
hope you like this EP that features the "missing" songs. The last
pieces of the puzzle of the 1 year recording that became the album "DOOR
TO DOOM". Enjoy:-) "
The Pendulum Tracklisting:
1. The Pendulum
2. Snakes Of Goliath
3. Sub Zero

🕊 BUDET
It feels great to finally reveal for you that my third full-length
album is called ”Budet” and is set to be released on March 20 by Nordvis. The album contains a variety of reflections and prophecies divided into six songs.
As always I have recorded and produced everything alone at my little
hermitage; and all visual impressions I use for the layout where
captured by me during my daily walks. But this time I also got the
opportunity to work with four artists and friends whose unique styles I really adore.
I am very happy that I got the chance to work with Nathalie Ericson,
whose analogue photography I feel a deep connection to. Nathalie has
photographed me in the environment of where I live and has been very
supportive through the whole process of the album. Check her out on Instagram: @enmiljontystnader.
Clarissa Bebber, who creates fantastic nature motives (see BÉKLA • Printmaking, plant dyes and more),
has carved out and printed by hand two exclusive illustration that will
be part of the album layout. I will use these illustrations for various
kind of merchandise.
Georg Börner, knowned from ColdWorld (Official) and Sangre de Muerdago,
are playing violin on two songs. Georg really added something new for
Grift on these two songs – a liberating kind of feeling. I hope that we
will play live together soon again.
Daniel Blomberg, who filmed
and edited the music videos for ”Svältorna” and ”Den stora tystnaden”
has together with me and my dad, Dag, made a new video. This time Daniel
had some new great ideas about nature motives, specific closeups and
editing.
BUDET IS NOW UP FOR PRE-ORDER AT: https://nordvis.com/en/grift-a-8 https://orcd.co/budet
Thank you! Erik on behalf of Grift

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/
