INDIVIDUAL THOUGHT PATTERNS V.017

HAPPY INDIGENOUS PEOPLES DAY

noreply@blogger.com (SPAK) — Mon, 12 Oct 2026 16:57:17 +0000

Instead of celebrating CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS DAY,. Celebrate INDIGENOUS PEOPLES DAY as Native Americans founded the U.S.A.

FROM POWWOWS.COM:

Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day! 

Today we honor the first peoples of this land: our nations, languages, songs, dances and traditions.  Cultures are still alive, growing and being passed down.

Celebrate today, and keep it going all year:
 Go to a powwow near you (find one on our calendar)
 Buy directly from Native artists and vendors
 Learn whose homelands you live on
 Share and lift up Native voices

STARKILL unleashed "VIRUS OF THE MIND", 10/14/2014 via CENTURY MEDIA RECORDS.

FROM STARKILL:

NEW SINGLE. NEW ALBUM. 

Our brand new single & music video for “Death On Display” is live right now! This is just the opening salvo—our new full-length album, Hanging Up My Halo, officially drops on January 22nd.

"With this new cycle, we wanted to take everything people expect from Starkill—the blisteringly fast dual-guitar work, symphonic arrangements, and impactful choruses—and strip away any clutter to hit harder than ever." — Parker

"There’s been a gap in the melodic death metal scene for years, and we’re back to plant our flag in it. We’ve been sitting on some of this material for the better part of a decade, writing and rewriting until every track can stand on its own. To that end, ‘Death On Display’ is absolutely brutal." — Spencer

FROM MASS DESTRUCTION FESTIVAL 2026 PROMOTERS:

RITUAL BUTCHERER, LORD ANGELSLAYER, GOAT AGGRESSOR, & ABORYM MORTUUS DENIED VISA BY U.S. GOVERNMENT.

The United States Government has denied the visa petition submitted for Archgoat. This is the first petition denial we’ve faced.

For those unfamiliar, inviting metal legends from all over the world involves applying for visas. In previous years it has been daunting, but always approved. Our legal council submitted an extensive petition with premium processing, provided all the necessary documentation, and evidence supporting the petition. 

And yet, here we are.

It is difficult to reconcile a decision like this with the reality of a band that has spent decades building an international career and has already performed extensively in the United States.

Archgoat will not be at Mass Destruction this November.

We will be extending the sets of other bands performing on Friday November 6th

FROM IAN HILL (JUDAS PRIEST):

It is with heavy hearts that we are sending out this personal message from our Ian....he has been the backbone of Judas Priest for so long and will be greatly missed by us all....we wish him well in his retirement and welcome Davey into the Priest Family....

Hello everyone, for a long time now, when asked "how long can you continue" -  I've always answered  "until my performances suffer"....
I hate to say it, but that time has come. 

For some years now, I've been struggling with the onset of the evil arthritis,  which is now in an advanced state in my left shoulder and right hand, established in my right shoulder, and present in both knees. I've been fighting this with painkilling pills, gels, and recently with cortisone injections in my shoulder and hand. 

Although, I was able to put bass lines to the songs for the new album, there were questions whether I'd be able to complete the recent European tour without incident, so we asked our good friend Davey Rimmer from Uriah Heep, and of course Elegant Weapons, to learn the set list to stand in for me if I had to pull out, which I did for the London show. This was due to me snapping a tendon in my left shoulder (as if I didn't have enough problems with it!) just before the encores during the Brussels show two days before. This led to me not being able to lift my arm enough to reach the neck of my bass. So we had to call Davey to stand in for me, who put in an incredible performance at such short notice!  

I've seen specialists, who suggest  I might get away without surgery, but even if I don't there's no guarantee either way that I'll have enough strength in my shoulder/arm to complete a whole stage show. 

In view of all this, and the fact that I've neglected my family life for fifty seven years, I've decided to retire and spend the remaining years making up for it, and doing things with them before it involves one of ‘em pushing me around in a wheelchair. 

The obvious choice for my replacement is Davey.  He's a great bassist, and a genuinely nice bloke who'll fit the job perfectly, and I wish him the very best of luck!  

There's not a day goes by where I don't give thanks for the incredible journey I've lived through, and it just remains for me to say that I love you all, and thank you for the life you've let me live  X

IAN HILL

AVRAK: STREAMING NEW RELEASE "AVRAK" VIA BANDCAMP

noreply@blogger.com (SPAK) — Fri, 09 Oct 2026 13:31:21 +0000

Norwegian heavy metal warriors AVRAK, via BANDCAMP, are streaming the bands debut release "AVRAK", unleashed 10/9/2026 via PEACEVILLE RECORDS.

FROM PEACEVILLE RECORDS:

@avrakband , THE NEW BAND OF @darkthroneofficial ’S TED SKJELLUM JOINS PEACEVILLE RECORDS

THE TITANIC DEBUT SELF-TITLED STUDIO ALBUM OF HEAVY ROCK AND METAL TO BE RELEASED ON 9THOCTOBER 2026

“UNBORN” THE DEBUT SINGLE & VIDEO OUT NOW!

Unborn: Stream/ download single link: https://orcd.co/avrak_unborn or in bio

Album pre-order link: https://avrak.lnk.to/AVRAK or in bio

on CD, classic black vinyl LP, silver vinyl LP & digitally

Recently unveiled Norwegian Heavy Metal juggernaut-in-the-making AVRAK was founded in November 2023 by guitarists Anders Hegna ( @bandnod , El Kayenne, Svidd Grevling) and Ted Skjellum; notable for being half of legendary duo, #Darkthrone.

Ted had declared from the beginning that he would not carry out main vocal duties in the band, and so it was Anders - with his own vocal grit a comfortable match anyway – who assumed the role. Several weeks later, Terje Kråbøl( #Gjendød, #Sarke, #Faustcoven) was brought in on the drums and, from there-on, with his percussive presence backing up some thunderous riffing, the creative work accelerated, culminating in the self-titled, hook-laden and doom-laced rock debut, ‘AVRAK’. Backed by new bassist, the final piece of the puzzle, Steinar Gundersen ( @kholdofficial , @sarkeofficial , @satyriconofficial ), with live shows intended in future to support the release.
