ITP V.015 SOCIAL JUSTICE: MARRIAGE EQUALITY IN ALL 50 STATES, 5-4 SUPREME COURT

Today, in a U.S. SUPREME COURT RULING, gay marriage has been ruled LEGAL in all 50 states on a 5-4 vote.

CHEERS FOR MARRIAGE EQUALITY. \m/ \m/
FINALLY!!!!






ITP V.015 EDITORS NOTE: THANK YOU: Jim Obergefell, NOH8, FCKH8, HRC, ACLU, SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER, FREEDOM TO MARRY, AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL, EFF.ORG, JASON WEST and NEW PALTZ, NY, HARVEY MILK, OUR ALLIES, U.S. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA,  STATE SENATES and SUPREME COURT JUSTICES ALL OVER THE U.S.A and the WORLD SETTING A POSITIVE PRECEDENT,  SCOTUS and JUSTICE KENNEDY, and THE ENTIRE METAL and LGBTQ COMMUNITY!!!!


FROM NOH8:
Thank you for standing on the right side of history, President Barack Obama! ‪#‎NOH8‬ ‪#‎LoveWins‬

FROM GEORGE TAKEI:
Oh Happy Day! The Supreme Court has ruled 5-4 that marriage equality is the law of the United States. Yes, ALL of these United States. I have waited decades for this day, and my heart is full of joy and my eyes wet with tears. Let the celebrations begin, and may the happy couples live long and prosper together. ‪#‎LoveWins‬ ‪#‎OneFamily‬

 FROM ACLU:

BREAKING: U.S. Supreme court declares state marriage bans unconstitutional! ‪#‎lovewins‬
https://www.aclu.org/feature/out-freedom

FROM SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER:

History made!
Supreme Court says same-sex couples have right to marry in all 50 states.

FROM HRC: 

LOVE WON: In a historic ruling, the Supreme Court has decided IN FAVOR of marriage equality in Obergefell v. Hodges. Marriage equality will soon be a reality in all 50 states!

‪#‎LoveWins‬ ‪#‎EqualityForward‬ ‪#‎LoveCantWait‬

After today’s sweeping ruling by the Supreme Court of the United States, striking down bans on marriage equality in all 50 states, HRC called on state officials to act with all deliberate speed to remove remaining obstacles to marriage equality.

Jim Obergefell, the named plaintiff in the Supreme Court marriage case and long-time HRC supporter, has become an icon in the fight for the right for nationwide marriage equality.

We won! In a historic ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that bans on marriage equality are unconstitutional. Marriage equality is the law of the land and LGBT couples in every corner of the country will soon have the opportunity to marry in their home states!

At this moment, I'm standing outside of the Supreme Court with Jim Obergefell and thousands of other HRC supporters in the midst of an awe-inspiring, joyous celebration. Today is a true testament to decades of hard work paying off — and I hope you will join in the celebration wherever you are.

Raise a toast, then join us in public celebration. First, add your name to a commemorative HRC logo that includes YOUR NAME along with other HRC members' names that will be instantly downloadable. Then, make it your profile image. That way, you can show the world that you stood on the right side of history.

In addition, if you are out celebrating, please take pictures and send them to us using the hashtag #LoveWins. HRC will be retweeting and reposting your photos all day and night so we can show the world that together, we made history!

Think about it — decades from now, children in schools will learn Obergefell v. Hodges as one of the most important equal rights cases ever before the Supreme Court. And, you were a part of it!

Today's ruling makes it perfectly clear that there is no legal or moral justification for continuing to stand in the path of marriage equality. Couples from Michigan to Texas to North Dakota shouldn't have to wait even a moment longer to be treated equally under the law.

I am calling upon state officials across the country to act swiftly to ensure that every obstacle to obtaining a marriage license is removed as quickly as possible so loving same-sex couples don't have to wait any longer.

Thank you for helping HRC change hearts and minds all over the world. This victory wouldn't have been possible without you.

Thanks so much,

FROM SUBURBAN SCUM:
It shouldn't have taken the U.S. this long to allow same sex marriage but it's a giant step forward that they did. Love is love.

It's a right now! It's official! Let's celebrate!
"It would misunderstand these men and women to say they disrespect the idea of marriage [...] They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right." - Justice Kennedy (Supreme Court Justice)

FROM RANDY BLYTHE (LAMB OF GOD): 

• drandallblytheI am in Europe right now on tour, but I would like to take the time to publicly express my happiness over some news my wife emailed me from home- the United States Supreme Court ruling that same-sex marriages are now legal in all 50 states. Lately there have been racially motivated killings at home, religious loonies commiting horrific terrorist acts over here in Europe and in the Middle East, there is warfare all over the fucking place, & a ton of people live in poverty the world over- sometimes it's hard to keep a smile on my face, & I wonder how long our world can keep going before we all just kill each other off. But then are those small moments when love wins, when we actually advance a tiny bit as human beings and realize that "Hey- that person or persons may be different than me, but that doesn't make them any less than me, and they certainly should have the same rights as me." I have gay friends- they go to work, they pay their taxes, they pay their mortgages just like everyone else. They are good people, otherwise they wouldn't be my friends. And sometimes they are assholes just like everyone else too, but I still love them just like I love my straight friends, even when they are being jerks- why shouldn't they have the same legal rights as me & my wife? Now they do. Whether some people like it or not, love wins this time, & I am stoked. It's a historic moment, & even in the midst of all the other sadness & craziness it makes me smile. Now we just gotta try & grow up about a few other things...

FROM BAY AREA DEATH FEST:

FROM SLAVE TO THE GRIND:  GRINDCORE A FILM  : 

In the spirit of a long over due ruling that was passed today...

FROM ALISSA WHITE GLUZ (ARCH ENEMY): 

Congratulations to the USA on your new victory of social justice! The Supreme Court just ruled gay marriage legal nationwide! I am personally opposed to marriage (for myself) but if you want to do it, nobody should be able to stop you! Exciting news!!! 🎊🎉💫🎈‪#‎lovewins‬

FROM BLACK CROWN INITIATE: 

A great day, for sure! Congrats America, you are acting like less of an asshole!

FROM CULT OF LUNA:
The United states is just one country and there is still much more to do for the LGBT-community world wide. But a fight won is a fight won and since the US (whether you like it or not) has a big influence on the western culture yesterdays ruling of the supreme court is worth celebrating.

FROM TENGGER CAVALRY: 

Not gay, not interest in man, but you know what, people shouldn't live under the shadow that other people shit on your life when you have no intention to offend other and you just feel something in your heart. If you want to prove you are a REAL man, get on horse, drink and ride with us  
FROM WORLD GOTH DAY: 

Well done America 



FROM MICHAEL MOORE:
It was one of those weeks, this past week. A week in which we witnessed profound history being made. A week when a large chunk was taken out of the wall of hate that criss-crosses this country, a nation founded on genocide and built on the backs of slaves. A people who pride themselves on being ignorant, and thus are easily manipulated with fear by those in power. We know the routine, we've tallied up the score.
But now...
There is massive change in the air. While angry white men stew and wonder what happened to their roost, the young, the women, the working poor, the people of color have forged an intense political bond. Having raised their voices higher, having suddenly been filled more with a sense of hope than one of despair, this alliance is now poised to catapult further. Even in a month of unspeakable tragedy in the birthplace of the Civil War, the race war that one young man who was inspired by the politics of hate had hoped to ignite saw his sick dream backfire into a (nonviolent) war against racists. Blacks and whites have held hands in Charleston. Wal-mart and NASCAR have eliminated the Confederate flag. Two republicans on the Supreme Court have voted to support the vision of the black man who lives in a white house down the street. That wall of hate, devoid of any healthy foundation, has begun to crumble. It's a new America that is fighting its way out of the cocoon. On Thursday the Census Bureau announced that, for the first time ever, there are more millennials than baby boomers in the Untied States -- and, for the first time, there are now more children under 5 who are of color than those who are white. The paradigm has shifted; all we had to do was stay active, stay engaged, refrain from hate and then watch the decrepit right-wing ideology wither and fall off its mysoginist, homophobic, white-privileged vine. It is a New America, but it is not a free America - yet. Free of corporate control, free of Citizens United, free of income inequality, free of an ongoing environmental catastrophe, free of Jeb Bush, free of profit-making health insurance companies, free of a privatized prison system, free of a failed war on drugs, free of the scourge of capitalism.

No, we're not free yet. But it's the closest we've ever been.
I'm ready for Week Two. How 'bout you? What else can we make happen before America's 239th birthday this coming Saturday?

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

MY DYING BRIDE: INVITES YOU TO FEEL THE MISERY. NEW ALBUM COMING SEPTEMBER 18th 2015

UK death/doom metal legends MY DYING BRIDE have revealed the art work, release date and track listing for the bands anticipated new release "FEEL THE MISERY", due to be  unleashed 9/18/2015 via PEACEVILLE RECORDS.

 

 

 

 

 

 

MY DYING BRIDE  unleashed "The Manuscript" (EP)  5/13/2013 via PEACEVILLE RECORDS.

ITP V.013 REVIEW: MY DYING BRIDE: "A MAP OF ALL OUR FAILURES":

http://spak-individualthoughtpatterns.blogspot.com/2013/01/itp-v013-review-my-dying-bride-map-of.html

FROM MY DYING BRIDE:
My Dying Bride’s latest opus and 12th full studio album, ‘Feel the Misery’, is set for release on 18th September on Peaceville Records. With crushing epic doom spanning 8 tracks, and featuring the return of original guitarist Calvin Robertshaw to the fold, this is undoubtedly amongst the band’s heaviest, darkest, & most majestic works to date, marking My Dying Bride’s 25th anniversary in punishing style, with the title track also set to feature as the album’s debut video.

‘Feel the Misery’ sees a notable return to the band’s old haunt, Academy Studios in Dewsbury West Yorkshire for recording, where all of My Dying Bride’s classic early albums were produced. Mixing once more takes place at Futureworks in Manchester UK with the band’s long-time studio engineer/producer, Mags.
The band comments on the themes of ‘Feel the Misery’: “Contained within are all the grandeur and mastery of the melancholic one would expect to find on a recording from this group of musicians. The crushing of hearts and the solemn farewells to friends and lovers twinned with the destruction of flesh and the passions of cruelty are laid neatly for the listener to devour and savour. Eight new compositions detailing the path of life through dark doors and the burdens we all must endure simply to make it to the end, My Dying Bride have returned with a foreboding new album which may enlighten, delight and consume the soul in one epic sitting”.
‘Feel the Misery’ will be released on CD, vinyl, plus a special edition 2CD/2x10” vinyl set in deluxe earbook format, with exclusive music & expanded booklet.
Tracklisting:
1. And My Father Left Forever
2. To Shiver In Empty Halls
3. A Cold New Curse
4. Feel The Misery
5. A Thorn Of Wisdom
6. I Celebrate Your Skin
7. I Almost Loved You
8. Within A Sleeping Forest
My Dying Bride has been the leading light of doom metal since their debut album "As The Flower Withers" was released on Peaceville Records back in 1992., the band's heavy atmospherics and expertly crafted compositions make them among the most essential and legendary acts of the gothic doom/death genre.

CRADLE OF FILTH: NEW TRACK 'DEFLOWERING THE MAIDENHEAD, DISPLEASURING THE GODDESS' PREMIERES ONLINE VIA REVOLVER AND MEDIA PARTNERS

UK Gothic/blackened extreme metal warriors CRADLE OF FILTH, VIA REVOLVER, have posted "DEFLOWERING THE MAIDENHEAD, DISPLEASURING THE GODDESS", a track from the bands anticipated new release "HAMMER OF THE WITCHES", due to be unleashed 7/10/2015  via NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS. 










CRADLE OF FILTH inked a world wide record deal with NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS.








CRADLE OF FILTH guitarist PAUL ALLENDER left the band this year.

CRADLE OF FILTH unleashed  "The Manticore and Other Horrors" 10/30/2012 (NORTH AMERICA-ON NUCLEAR BLAST) and 10/29/2012 (EUROPE on PEACEVILLE RECORDS).

FROM CRADLE OF FILTH: http://www.revolvermag.com/news/cradle-of-filth-premiere-new-song-deflowering-the-maidenhead-displeasuring-the-goddess.html
Barbarous hellhounds Cradle Of Filth are set to release their forthcoming album ‘Hammer Of The Witches’ on July 10th but until then, the band are whetting the appetite of eager fans by releasing another new track online! Listen to 'Deflowering The Maidenhead, Displeasuring The Goddess’: http://smarturl.it/DefloweringTrack
Frontman Dani Filth commented on the track:
"'Deflowering The Maidenhead, Displeasuring The Goddess' is based on the ancient belief of the world personified as Mother Goddess, concerning itself with her self-preservative measures when assailed by her final abuse by the human race. Violated, poisoned and unknowingly left for dead, Gaia's is a pre-emptive, violent and justified retribution; without tears for creed or culture. Nature versus Mankind. A total renewal of species. The song spirals onward at a frenetic, apocalyptic pace to climax and was originally one of guitarist Ashok's contributions to the album, along with 'The Vampyre At My Side'."

Pre-order 'Hammer Of The Witches' from iTunes to receive 'Deflowering The Maidenhead, Displeasuring The Goddess' as an instant-grat track: http://nblast.de/COFHammeriTunes.
The band's highly anticipated and caliginous creation was brought to fruition in Britain’s Witch County, in darkest rural Suffolk at the reputedly haunted Grindstone Studios. The album’s title is named after the‘Malleus Maleficarum’, a medieval document of guidelines regarding the persecution and torture of witches – but Cradle Of Filth’s title version is more retributory: It’s the Hammer Of The Witches; the hammer is in the witches' hands and it's payback time.

'HAMMER OF THE WITCHES' TRACK LIST:

01. Walpurgis Eve
02. Yours Immortally…
03. Enshrined In Crematoria
04. Deflowering The Maidenhead, Displeasuring The Goddess
05. Blackest Magick In Practice
06. The Monstrous Sabbat (Summoning The Coven)
07. Hammer Of The Witches
08. Right Wing Of The Garden Triptych
09. The Vampyre At My Side
10. Onward Christian Soldiers
11. Blooding The Hounds Of Hell
Bonus Tracks:
12. King Of The Woods
13. Misericord
‘Hammer Of The Witches’ will be the first Nuclear Blast album to have a global release date.
'HAMMER OF THE WITCHES' IS AVAILABLE TO ORDER IN A VARIETY OF FORMATS:
