FROM ENSLAVED:
*** JÓL I UTGARD - NOREG DESEMBER 2020 ***
On October 2, we released our 15th studio album; "Utgard". Throughout a year where the room for maneuver has been, to put it mildly, somewhat limited; we have found new and virtual ways to reach you all around the globe (yes, it's round!) - in the shape of four concerts that have has been streamed online from our homebase that is Bergen. But we have not relented a second in the search for ways to do the good 'ol "live-live", if only with limited capacity - there is more than enough music and energy to take the mosh-pit and the stage diving inside your heads while seated as regulations demand these days. Thus, we have once again found a path through rough terrain to secure Metal to the Norwegian people also during the winter of 2020, in collaboration with a fine collection of committed (and sonically hungry) concert organizers.
Grutle Kjellson is simply extremely enthusiastic: «So it happens; Enslaved goes on a Yule-tour! In these, in every way, dark times; I see it as our responsibility to thunder ahead for this Midwinter Blot; to appease the gods and make the Sun return! So; come toast with us as the Sun turns! See you at the feasts!».
Secure a ticket, familiarize yourself with the Covid-19 control directives of your local venue, come and join "Jól i Utgard"!

FROM METAL BLADE RECORDS:
Demon Head reveals details for new album, "Viscera" & launches video for new single, "The Triumphal Chariot of Antimony" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BmHk...
On January 29th, Demon Head will release their new album, Viscera, via Metal Blade Records. Demon Head is comprised of five internationally based and widely acclaimed musicians; Mikkel Sander Fuglsang, Birk Gjerlufsen Nielsen, Marcus Ferreira Larsen, Thor Gjerlufsen Nielsen and Jeppe Wittus. Though hesitant to compromise the description of the music they perform through generalizing terms of genre, they’ve coined the term “diabolic rock” as an appropriate presentation.
Their fourth full-length – Viscera – is a new beginning for Demon Head. Recorded during the first months of 2020 between the legendary Sweet Silence Studios by Flemming Rasmussen (Metallica, Morbid Angel, Rainbow) and a remote country house in Sweden, the album was mixed by Martin ‘Konie’ Ehrencrona (In Solitude, Tribulation, Nifelheim). The production shows the impeccable qualities of joined forces, where old techniques meet new aesthetics, and major label possibilities meet underground, uncompromising DIY dedication. The resulting 10 songs showcase acoustic instruments, flourishing mellotron strings, brass instruments, tape manipulation and church organ – displayed in equal measure to the sound of the crushing drums of J.W, cryptic guitars of brothers B.G.N and T.G.N, pounding bass lines of M.S.F, and the vocals of M.F.L combined with the eerily captivating falsetto and baryton of B.G.N.
Demon Head comments: “We are now ready to offer You ‘Viscera‘. It contains more of us than any album we have made before, and we hope that You will welcome it as sincerely as it will welcome You.”

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.

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.

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/
