FROM HIDEOUS DIVINITY:
Dear North American fans,
It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce that we won't be touring the US (and Quebec) this July.
While preparing the petition to apply for our U.S. work visas, our lawyer informed us that the number of rejections in recent weeks has dramatically increased, and that our case would seriously risk being rejected. This caught us completely off guard, especially after many successful visa applications over the years, which gave us the opportunity to tour the U.S. several times. However, nowadays things seem to be significantly different. For those who don't know, applying for a work visa costs between $6,000 and $8,000 (these are just the legal fees)—and if your petition is rejected, there is zero refund. That’s a risk we simply cannot take.
We are heartbroken to disappoint those of you who were waiting for us, as we were truly looking forward to seeing you again. We’re hopeful that things will get better and easier—and when they do, we’ll most certainly be back.

FROM PROFOUND LORE RECORDS:
Progressive US black metal band Obsidian Tongue will release their stunning new album “Eclipsing Worlds of Scorn” on May 30th. Pre-orders and new track “Orphaned Spiritual Warrior” now live here: https://linktr.ee/obsidiantongue
Lauded
as USBM’s best kept secret, Obsidian Tongue has been on a steadfast
artistic journey since their formation in 2009. They’ve never failed to
retain the original mission of playing raw and cathartic melodic black
metal as they journeyed further into psychedelic and progressive
territories with each release.
Comprised
of vocalist/guitarist/bassist Brendan Hayter (Thrawsunblat/Obsequiae
live) and drummer Raymond Capizzo (Falls Of Rauros/Panopticon live), the
duo returned to Mystic Valley Studio with Alex Garcia-Rivera to
record/mix/master “Eclipsing Worlds of Scorn” entirely on the analog
domain, created with a total absence of click tracks, quantization, or
sound replacement of any kind.
The
progressive black metal journey that is “Eclipsing Worlds of Scorn”
takes off immediately with the wrathful sounds of “Orphaned Spiritual
Warrior” and “Snakeskin Tunnel Colony”, easily the band’s two heaviest
tracks to date. These flow directly into the apocalyptic title track,
and onto the vulnerable and surreal sounds of “To Forgive Oneself”
leading into the acoustic instrumental “…And Still They Dream”. This
dream ends with the triumphant “Theater of Smoke & Wind”, a true
psychedelic black metal classic that still evokes some of the original
feeling found on the band’s “Subradiant Architecture” debut.
16
years into the band’s existence, Obsidian Tongue clearly show no signs
of running out of new ways to alter their sound - song by song, album by
album.
Featuring artwork by Kati Astraeir and album design by John Haughm (Agalloch).

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/
