NEVERMORE (JIM SHEPPARD): "James has never been contacted about Van's plans with Jeff using the NEVERMORE name."

No photo description available.

Original NEVERMORE bassist JIM SHEPPARD'S wife PRICSILAhas commented on Seattle, Washington metal warriors NEVERMORE'S reunion.

FROM PRICSILA SHEPPARD ORIGINAL NERVERMORE BASSISTS JIM SHEPPARD'S WIFE:

"Since I have been receiving a few messages from James fans regarding a post Van Williams made on social media, I feel I need to respond to you with an update.

"James has never been contacted about Van's plans with Jeff using the NEVERMORE name. I am sorry you think James is involved. We do not know about their plans, and it is completely disrespectful of them to use the name NEVERMORE without consulting Jim Sheppard, as he is one of the founders of the band.

"We are waiting for clarification on this alleged project and will proceed from there, whether or not clarification comes from them. No further comment for now. Thank you."

WOLVES AND VIBRANCY RECORDS: "I have decided that 2025 will be the last year of the label's existence"

May be a black-and-white image of cloud, grass and text

WOLVES AND VIBRANCY RECORDS have decided that 2025 will be the last year of the labels existence....

FROM WOLVES AND VIBRANCY RECORDS:

BYE 2024

I have decided that 2025 will be the last year of the label's existence

WVR 060 @nadjaluv 'Labyrinthine' & WVR 061 @glacierband 'ADVS' remain the last releases under this name

There are several reasons for this, main reason is that the stress / effort went way above the joy / personal fulfillment in the last 2 years.

I'm running the label in addition to a fulltime job & I realized that I just don't want to deal with the kind of issues I had to deal with especially with the production of the last 2 releases in my spare time.

These experiences have really been the nail in the coffin.

This may be the good thing about not being dependend on the label financially - I can stop whenever I want to & now is the time.

After 13 years of handling production, packing orders, answering customer emails this chapter comes to an end.

The shop will reopen mid of January for a few months

A big thanks to everyone that supported the label by placing an order.

Big thanks to every artist / band I had the pleasure to work with - every visual artist, every audio engineer mixing & mastering a record

A more elaborate post may be coming or not but for the moment that's it.

ETERNAL LOVE

DEC-30-2024, Fabian // WVR

PESTILENCE: "I have to get something of my chest. This constant bs about metal bands using A.I. albumcovers more and more. There are a few reasons."

May be an image of bone

Rotterdam, Netherlands based progressive, death metal warriors PESTILENCE have defended the use of AI (ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE) for album covers.

PESTILENCE unleashed "LEVELS OF PERCEPTION", 4/26/2024 via AGONIA RECORDS.

FROM PESTILENCE:

I have to get something of my chest. This constant bs about metal bands using A.I. albumcovers more and more. There are a few reasons.

First, huge budgets for real paintings are a thing of the past. Secondly, the idea of having mutilated bodies, zombies and extreme gore are also a thing of the past for Pestilemce.

When you want to survive in the nowadays industry you have to adapt and Pestilence has always been known to look ahead and never fall back into the old habits not just music style wise but every other new release has had a new approach to our own musically, unlike most acts that rely on their older legacy.

When we released "Levels of Perception" that was aimed to revisited the demo style recording, that was asked for by many fans, they didn't like the production they asked for themselves. With "Portals" we will, again, follow our own path and you could teally dig it. As an example this "drawing" was considered to be amazing on my personal FB site. This is also A.I., and is an amazing piece of art. Not the albumcover by the way!!!

And now the real question: would you not buy and album with killer production and song just because a cover is A.I.? Then you are not listening to our compositions that are fully handmade. But rather are concerned with the 40× past you have been living in. Start embracing the future of music that is Pestilence

FROM MISANTHROPIC ART:

Because it can't be said often enough...

Also f**k bands like Pestilence, Deicide, Hour of Penance, and all the others who go the AI route instead of being creative.

Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-

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..

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/ -l- ***To experience ITP at it's fullest capabilities you'll need a good browser (MOZILLA FIREFOX or SAFARI) and a fast MODEM/CONNECTION (CABLE or WI FI) to enjoy the videos and a good set of HEADPHONES or/and speakers to enjoy the SOUND and brutality. If you subscribe to ITP don't forget to come straight to this blog for updates, videos, REVIEWS, pics for ITP's multimedia extreme metal experience. To enjoy ITP, you MUST have a BANDCAMP, YOU TUBE or/and SPOTIFY account to headbang. BTW, I almost forgot to mention, ITP is visible via BLOGSPOT, target FACEBOOK. So add ITP is under said bloggers given name on FACEBOOK. Not all ITP V.018 posts show up on the main feed nor get passed my timeline (isn't that the truth on FB, only 15% of posts end up in the main feed passed your timeline).
