AZAGHAL: CANCEL BRAZILIAN TOUR










                                                                             

                                                                                                                                     


 











Finnish black metal warriors AZAGHAL have cancelled the bands previously announced BRAZILIAN tour due to issues with the BRAZILIAN promoter.

AZAGHAL unleashed "Nemesis" 1/29/2012 on MORIBOUND RECORDS.




FROM AZAGHAL:

As quite many of you already know, Belialis Mvsika (former Metal Army) or Marcelo Urbano / Volk Mizantrop disappeared during his previous tour with Besatt, couple of weeks ago. After this he removed his personal and organization website from social media and stopped answering phone calls. This same management was supposed arrange the Azaghal Brazilian tour in March.

Our friends in Brazil (who were financially ripped-off by Marcelo) tried their best to arrange the tour anyway, but the financal damage this person did was too heavy in order to make the tour happen within this timeframe. 

However, we have alread discussed with our Brazilian contacts about arranging an extended (including also the northeast regions) tour in October/November. More information will be shared about this later. 

 Included the statement from our Brazilian friend, Danny K Troyll from Mørk VisdoM:

 Eis que com muita dor e ódio que anuncio que infelizmente não será dessa vez que o ´´AZAGHAL`` não ira rolar dessa vez devido aio problemas que o Sr Marcelo Urbano e sua produtora ´´BELIALIS MVSIKA`` não ter cumprindo com seu acordo, tentamos tomar a frente dessa tur mesmo que muitos produtores já havia tomado prejuizo mais mesmo assim estava tentando levar a frente, ela já estava toda meio que CAGADA, preferimos adia esses eventos e trabalhar numa tur mais estendida e muito melhor tanto ao publico quanto a banda e em vez de ser só sul/sudeste seria tmb Norte/nordeste, espero o apoio e compressão a todos e qualquer duvidas estamos ae para tira-las e levar a nossa bandeira do metal frente, nas cidades de Belo Horizonte e em São paulo os shows irá rolar numa boa com as bandas nacionais.


Best Regards, Niflungr / Azaghal

ITP V.013 UPDATE: ITP V.013 REVIEWS, NEWS FEATURES AND NEWS WILL BE POSTED SOON

ITP  V.013 UPDATE:


Working on ITP V.013 NEWS FEATURES (yes, I really am, send me news and tour dates via FB) and personal stuff.

I've been very tired, busy, and STRESSED recently, so sowee for the DELAY regarding news features and reviews, just hanging in there as of late..


ITP V.013 is working on NOTES FROM THE EXTREME METAL UNDERGROUND PART ONE (death, thrash and grind metal news and LATE WINTER EARLY SPRING 2013 tour dates) and no guarantee as I could possibly be working on it, after posting it, for a few days after.
 ITP V.013 is also working on a show review, as that shall posted late this weekend.

"Advertising is legalized lying"-HG WELLS
BTW, and I've been wanting to, but shouldn't have to say this, for pro censorship retards in denial of their own baggage: FUCK OFF!!!
When ITP writes and posts ITP REVIEWS, NOT A FUCK WAS GIVEN ABOUT SOME RECORD LABELS OPINION. ITP's author was a Journalism major at SUNY, as I make a distinction between
PR (Public Relations), Advertising and an objective third party opinion.

When I read a consumer report or review, I expect an independent third party opinion, not a record labels or corporations assessment of their own artists as record labels can NOT be objective about their own artists or bands. It's amazing how under educated and ignorant, SHEEPLE (people) can be. Even alot of metal zines accept advertising from labels and you wonder how objective they can really be.



As ITP stated last week, ITP REVIEWS 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. 



Also, ITP V.013 NEWS FEATURES NOTES FROM THE EXTREME METAL UNDERGROUND (death, thrash and grind metal news and 2013 tour dates), DAMNED IN BLACK (black metal news and  LATE WINTER EARLY SPRING 2013 rituals) and HUMANITY IS DOOMED (Traditional, stoner, death, funeral doom and experimental metal news and 2013 LATE WINTER/
EARLY SPRING tour dates) will be posted by EARLY MARCH 2013, if at all as there is chaos in life, again, sorry no guarantees. All metal news features from this point (if posted at all) will be posted quarterly.




ITP V.012 will also post ITP V.013: THE ART OF DANCE in early 2013.


ITP's author will be doing some editing of ITP in the coming week (yes, ITP is backed up somewhere) as I'm very busy with my own personal life as well.



ITP V.013 REVIEW/POST SCHEDULE:

3/2/2013-2/27/2013: ITP V.013 REVIEW: BEHEXEN: NIGHTSIDE EMANATIONS
3/3/2013: LIVE (SHOW) RITUAL
REVIEW:
3/4/2013:  (?) NOTES FROM THE EXTREME METAL UNDERGROUND PART ONE

ANIMALS AS LEADERS: CANCEL EDMONTON and CALGARY SHOWS

  U.S. technical metal warriors ANIMALS AS LEADERS have cancelled the bands EDMONTON and CALGARY shows due to VISA issues as the band is currently on a NORTH AMERICAN tour with MESHUGGAH and INTRONAUT. 

ANIMALS AS LEADERS unleashed "Weightless" 11/4/2011 on PROSTHETIC RECORDS and are currently signed to SUMERIAN RECORDS. FROM ANIMALS AS LEADERS: ">I would like to personally apologize again for canceling our Edmonton and Calgary performances. We tried to go and literally were denied at the border. Please do not think we just cancel these shows just for the sake of canceling. Believe me when I tell you that no one is more disturbed and affected by this situation other than myself. It's costing me several thousands of dollars in lawyer fees and other expenses. So to not be permitted to perform in one of our most profitable markets worldwide really is extremely difficult thing to deal with. Its actually a bit insulting to have people comment negatively about this , especially when they know nothing of the real situation. Ultimately, it is myself, Javier Reyes, dealing with this situation.As far as our future international performances, I am still permitted to go. Canada has specific laws that I could not argue against, especially at the border. So again, I am truly sorry for canceling these shows. It's the last thing we ever wanted to do. Thanks for listening and hope to be back in Canada as soon as we can.


ANIMALS AS LEADERS WINTER 2013 NORTH AMERICAN TOUR DATES:
