It's been a long time
since the last editorial update, but you're all big boys and girls
and you don't need me to hold your hands every month and explain all
the behind the scenes stuff at IVM, do you? Well, for those that do
like these little updates here is another... little update.
First of all THANK YOU
to everyone who has so far downloaded our latest compilation album,
'Blood Pack Vol. 5' – the tail end of last year saw me frantically
putting this together and getting it ready for new years day. It
features some amazing bands including: Angelspit, The Gothsicles,
Deadfilmstar, Sounds Like Winter, Noir, Hardcore Pong, Cynical
Existence, Veil of Thorns, Cold Therapy, and Chiron plus many more
exclusive and unreleased tracks from international gothic, industrial
and electronic bands. It also comes with an A4 PDF booklet containing
bios and links for all the bands who have kindly donated a track.
To download it all you
have to do is go to our bandcamp page here:
As with last year's
compilation this is a pay what you want dowbnload. If you do choose
to donate any money, please rest assured that it all goes to DKMS UK
– a charity that helps fight blood cancer. Over the past couple of
years, many big names as well as loved ones within our community have
lost their lives to various forms of cancer, so please feel free to
support our chosen charity via our compilations, or indeed any other
charity compilation out there. It will all help.
In other news, you may
have noticed a few changes to the website in the form of a new
background and logo. Rest assured these are only cosmetic changes and
the site still works and responds the same ways. There may be a few
more changes to come in the near future, but again they won't be
anything to radical.
Looking to the future,
if you'd like to get involved with intravenous magazine, we're
looking for motivated self-starters who can sniff out stories and
make contact with bands and labels. If you want to be a part of the
team head to WRITING FOR IVM. Also, if you are in a band or run a
label etc. and you fancy writing a guest article/column, feel free to
hit us up as well.
Hopefully the other
things we have up our collective sleeve will be announced in the
coming months. Until then, please enjoy the new (and previous)
compilation albums, please donate, or at least share the link if you
enjoy the album.
And as always make sure you have these links in your favourites:
