Any one heard the new DragonForce album? "Inhuman Rampage"

It's power metal. At first i wasn't a big fan of power metal as never really heard any power metal bands. So i thought i would "cough" download the album and what a kick ass band and album :D

I'd say this is more melo-power metal :devil:

Trivium are okay for a listen or two. Pretty typical metalcore boredom though. I used to be a huge fan of the genre, but it's getting so mainstream and formulaic now that every new metalcore band sounds the same. In fact, the only 2 bands I can really listen to without getting bored are All That Remains and Unearth. In fact, I might go give the former a spin now. :)

Fish F*ck, best song ever!

CoB will forever be one of the best metal bands ever. I was listening to Follow the Reaper at a friends house, thinking it was some gnarly band from the 80's.

Boy was i wrong..

I've washed my eyes, had my sight tested and cleaned my glasses, but I swear I can still see a post saying that Trivium 'have no guitar riffs'.

Riiiiiiiiiiiight.

b0zm4g, have you already got Clayman? (If not, get it!!!) That and whoracle are their best IMO. I *LOVE* the gyroscope and dialogue with the stars. Amazing music! Saw them at download, and seeing them support motorhead soon, can't wait!

I've just got the new CoB album, absolutely love it!

In other news, I've decided after a second listen that the solo on disturbeds latest single is infact nothing special what so ever.

Oh and to make myself feel crap, if my band hadn't split up 3 months ago, we'd have supported Sikth last weekend :(

Personally, I think Clayman was the beginning of In Flames' downfall. Although "Swim" and "Another Day In Quicksand" are awesome songs from that album. Myself, I quite like Colony. That album has really grown on me, especially the title track! (Y)

Perhaps, but I still enjoy the album. The downward spiral from Clayman to Reroute to Remain was much more severe. That's alright, as there are still plenty of green pastures (or red :devil: ) in the realm of metal. You're bound to lose a few along the way.

Report details murder of 'Dimebag' Darrell

Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio - A new police report details a chaotic scene at last December's Damageplan concert, with the tour manager getting wounded as he tried to prevent a gunman from climbing on stage - he then was helped to the side where he watched former Pantera guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott get shot in the head three times.

At the heavy metal concert, 25-year-old Nathan Gale killed four people, including Abbott, before a Columbus policeman shot and killed Gale.

Nearly 300 witness interviews, released Thursday in a 627-page report, showed people were confused about the sequence of the shootings at the Alrosa Villa nightclub.

Witnesses said Gale sneaked into the concert before opening fire with his 9mm handgun.

Christopher Paluska, Damageplan's tour manager, said he was shot first - though it was previously believed Abbott was the initial victim.

Paluska was one of three people shot who survived. Another, stage technician John Brooks, wrestled with Gale who pinned him as a hostage as police moved toward the stage.

Officer James Niggemeyer then killed Gale with one shotgun blast while he was holding Brooks hostage. Brooks told investigators although he didn't hear Niggemeyer fire at Gale, he felt Gale's grip weaken and hurried off the stage.

A grand jury cleared Niggemeyer, 31, of any wrongdoing in May. Gale still had 35 bullets left when killed, investigators said.

During the melee, Damageplan drummer Vincent Abbott hid behind amplifiers and lead singer Patrick Lachman jumped and screamed into the microphone for someone to call the police.

Gale's mother has said her son was obsessed with Pantera - was nominated for Grammys for best metal performance in 1995 for "I'm Broken" and in 2001 for "Revolution Is My Name" - and believed the band had stolen song lyrics from him.

He previously told both his mother and a former employer that he was diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic before he was discharged from the Marines in October 2003, two years into a four-year stint. Military records do not mention mental illness as the reason for the discharge.

IMO clayman is an awesome album, as is Reroute. Soundtrack is very different, it's really lacking guitar wise, but has it's moments (evil in the clauset is an amazingly powerful song, read the lyrics).

Personally I don't consider any of them a 'downfall of inflames'. His voice is the best in this kind of music if you ask me, there is something about it that just captivates me, and he replicates it live perfectly.

It would have been nice if the recent DVD contained more old stuff, and I want to know if they played to a dat or had a hidden KB player, but I'm still obsessed with inflames. Melody. Energy. Stompy :)

Officer James Niggemeyer then killed Gale with one shotgun blast while he was holding Brooks hostage.

That sounds pretty bloody risky to me, it's not like you can practice good marksmanship with a shotgun!!!

    • JBL BAR 800 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar is an amazing deal today

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      JBL BAR 800 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar is an amazing deal today by Sayan Sen This Amazon Prime Day 2026 sales so far we have had a couple of nice deals related to sound and audio. First we have the Sennheiser HD 600 at its lowest ever price of just $225. Next we also have the Beats Studio Pro at its lowest price ever at just $150. However perhaps you prefer your gear to sound great on a larger scale, like throughout the room. In that case an all-in-one soundbar system can help and currently JBL's BAR 800 is a great deal for sure as it's up for grabs at just $600 (purchase link under the specs table down below). One thing that should be appreciated a lot about these JBL soundbars is their spec sheet and the frequency response data it provides. The firm is honest about it as JBL confirms the subwoofer is able to go down to 35 Hz at -6dB or F6. This means it should be covering 40Hz and up very well, where most of the bass lies. You miss out on a lot of sub-bass but that is to be expected given the price point and the subwoofer driver size. Speaking of which, it is a 10-inch driver and promises a max output power of 300 watts at 1% THD (total harmonic distortion). JBL also claims the system will provide you with a "True Dolby Atmos" experience. The surround speakers are wireless and battery-powered which means setting them up should be really convenient. The technical specs of the JBL BAR 800 are given in the table below: Specification Value Channel Configuration 5.1.2-channel soundbar system Dolby Atmos Yes, with 2 up-firing drivers Total System Power Output 720 W Soundbar Power Output 340 W Surround Speaker Power Output 2 × 40 W Subwoofer Power Output 300 W Soundbar Drivers 3 × 46×90 mm racetrack drivers, 3 × 20 mm tweeters, 2 × 70 mm up-firing full-range drivers Surround Speaker Drivers 1 × 46×90 mm racetrack driver (each speaker) Subwoofer Driver 10-inch (260 mm) wireless subwoofer Frequency Response 35 Hz – 20 kHz (-6 dB) Audio Inputs Optical, Bluetooth, Chromecast built-in, AirPlay, Alexa Multi-Room Music (MRM), USB* HDMI Inputs 1 HDMI video input HDMI Output 1 HDMI eARC output HDCP Version 2.3 HDR Pass-Through HDR10, Dolby Vision Bluetooth Version 5.0 Wi-Fi Version 6, 6E Streaming Services Chromecast built-in, Apple AirPlay, Alexa MRM Get it at the link below: JBL Bar 800-5.1.2-Channel Dolby Atmos soundbar with Detachable Surround Speakers (Black): $599.85 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US with Prime) Prime subscription can be cancelled within three business days.
