ITP V.025 SOCIAL JUSTICE: TRUMP RESCINDS FEDERAL FUNDS FREEZE

 The TRUMP administration has RESCINDED the FEDERAL FUNDS FREEZE. 

 

 

 FROM ROBERT REICH: 

Trump's spending freeze was unconstitutional and a clear violation of the Impoundment Control Act. It was not a conservative ploy to shrink the size of government or reduce spending. It’s a neo-fascist ploy to concentrate even more power in Trump’s hands.

But the public uproar yesterday should serve as a reminder that Trump's plans to gut federal programs are deeply unpopular.

Keep fighting. Keep up the pressure. Don't tune out. That's how they win.

 

 FROM NEW YORK DAILY NEWS:
White House budget office rescinds federal funds freeze that sparked confusion, legal challenges

President Donald Trump's budget office on Wednesday rescinded an order freezing spending on federal grants, less than two days after it sparked widespread confusion and legal challenges across the country, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Highly-Anticipated Fifth Album, Duél, out February 7, 2025 via Napalm Records

Eugene Abdukhanov, JINJER bassist on the new album:

“First of all, it‘s hard to believe that we’re about to release our fifth full length album! After all the releases we’ve made, finally having Duél in our hands and ready to be shared with the world, makes us very proud that our band still hasn’t run out of creativity and inspiration. The fact that we still challenge ourselves to release the best music we have ever made with each new release, is what keeps JINJER moving forward. This upcoming album was the longest songwriting process we’ve ever had and it took almost two years to complete. We worked very hard with every free minute we weren’t on tour, recording demos over and over again and always searching for the perfect sound for guitars, bass and drums. It was also the first time that Tatiana did vocal pre-productions, so it’s safe to say that none of our releases were so well thought out and calculated as this one. It pulverizes the boundaries of the modern progressive metal genre but still remains sophisticated, exciting and extreme all at the same time. We took up the challenge to expand our musical horizons even wider than before in order to cement Duél to be the next step in JINJER‘s musical growth and hopefully the evolution of metal music in general.”

FROM NE OBLIVISCARIS::

 

XEN DEPARTS NE OBLIVISCARIS: JAMES DORTON

ANNOUNCED AS NEW VOCALIST

After an extended absence from the band's tours over the last two years, Xen has made the decision to officially depart NeO, with the band announcing James Dorton as our new vocalist. James has been touring as NeO's live vocalist since May, 2023.

The official statements from both Xen & the band are below. A video statement from Xen is also available on NeO's Patreon.

XEN STATEMENT:

"This may come as a surprise to some and yet expected for others, but after much deliberation I’ve decided to leave NeO, the band I started and have helped build for the last two decades. I’d always said that I’d be the last man standing in the band, and it was always my intention to return completely to the fold, but time and experience has changed me… and so here I am bowing out. The very simple reason is that considering where I am mentally and in life, extensive touring is no longer for me, and in turn meaning the band and I part ways.

NeO has been one of my biggest priorities in life since 2003, I don’t regret that. I’m proud of what we’ve achieved - but the dedication of time, preparation and commitment to heavy touring, as every musician knows, comes with a lot of sacrifice. Since 2019 (pre-pandemic), I've only played a handful of live shows and over the last few years I've gradually become more estranged from the touring process. So that coupled with some difficult years on a personal level, gave me time away from the hectic schedule to breathe and ultimately find clarity around what I value, what I want and how to proceed forward. My drive has always been first and foremost for the creative process of art, music, writing, and everything behind the scenes rather than being in the limelight every night, and so I plan to focus more on those things. Leaving NeO by no means implies that I’m giving up music, I have 3 other developing bands (Spiine, Omega Infinity, Antiqva) to focus on so I’ll still be around releasing albums. Creativity keeps me breathing, the stage lights do not.

Moving forward, NeO will continue, as they have been in my absence, with the assistance and dedication of the talented James Dorton on vocals. He’s held the fort for me for numerous tours over the last couple of years and has done an incredible job, so I hand the hilt over to him - please make him feel welcome.

I’d like to thank the fine lads in NeO, they’ve been gracious and understanding, and have given me the space to make one of the biggest decisions of my life. I don’t really have enough words to express my gratitude to them for the years of collaboration, experiences, memories, and achievements (and for putting up with my incessant nagging for more blast beats) - Thank you for everything - we’ve done more than we thought possible, and have done what most Australian metal bands strive for - I don’t see the train stopping anytime soon so I’m looking forward to watching the band continue to grow.

Thank you immensely to the NeO patrons, I’m forever humbled for the support you’ve shown the band over the years, without you we definitely wouldn’t have come as far as we have. And finally thank you to all the fans around the world, I appreciate you all putting up with my black and white life filter.

This change is the only way forward for me, thank you all for understanding."

NEO STATEMENT:

"First of all to Xen- thank you for everything you have done for NeO over the last 21+ years, going way back to the band’s inception in 2003. This band would literally not have existed without you and even though you are not continuing as an official member of the band, you will always be our brother. We love you buddy, and wish you all the best in this new chapter of your journey.

To all the fans- We never really imagined a version of NeO without Xen to be honest. But one thing we have learned over the years is that the ability to adapt and grow when things change is a must. With that in mind we are very excited to announce that James Dorton will officially be joining NeO as our new harsh vocalist. Having toured extensively with us over the last two years, many fans will already be familiar with James’ incredible talents and how great a fit he is for our band. 2025 is going to be another very exciting one for us with a lot more touring on the horizon (USA, Mexico & EU festivals already announced; & more to come), plus new music in the works as well. Thank you as always to everyone for all your ongoing support, thank you once more to Xen for everything and a big warm welcome to James." - NeO
