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:

ive just brought both Trivium albums from MSN music as i saw one of there vids on Scuzz (UK Music channel) and i must admit i like the style of music...

anyone else into Trivium?

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.

in case you guys hadn't seen this i thought i'd post it here. i don't think it warrants a thread of its own. however, if anyone feels that it does, please, be my guest.

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!!!

    • Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors

      That made me laugh! Thank you
    • Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft's aggressive roadmap to deliver a commercial quantum supercomputer by 2029 has now hit a bit of a snag, and it's not because of a complex sub-zero dilution refrigerator, but rather because of a few lines of basic Python code. A new critique published in the scientific journal Nature argues that simple software errors effectively manufactured the breakthrough that Microsoft's foundational research claimed back in 2025 into Majorana-based topological qubits. Topological quantum computing, the path that Microsoft chose for its research, relies on creating and controlling "Majorana zero modes." These are exotic quasiparticles that theoretically offer vastly superior error resistance compared to the highly sensitive superconducting qubits currently being championed by rivals like Google and IBM. However, physically proving you have created these particles requires sifting through massive amounts of complex electrical conductance data to isolate a specific "topological gap." Because of the sheer volume of data, physicists rely heavily on custom software pipelines to process the results. This is where the Python scripts come in. Now, according to the critique, Microsoft’s data processing software contained fundamental programming errors that ultimately skewed the published results. By mishandling data arrays or deploying incorrect logic within the Python script, the software supposedly discarded "noisy" or contradictory data. Which is why it only highlighted the specific electrical measurements that supported the topological-gap claim. The researchers behind the critique argued that this makes the findings invalid, suggesting the heralded "quantum leap" was actually a false positive generated by bad code and not a product of groundbreaking physics. However, Microsoft is pushing back hard against these allegations. The Redmond giant has formally rejected the criticism, saying that it's just a minor anomaly rather than a fatal flaw. According to the company, while there may have been a minor oversight in the data parsing scripts, it does not alter the fundamental reality of their physical experiment. Just weeks ago, Microsoft unveiled the Majorana 2 quantum processor, a milestone so significant that the company boldly accelerated its timeline for a commercial quantum supercomputer from 2035 down to 2029. But the new software allegations reopen an old wound. Microsoft's quantum division faced a remarkably similar crisis when a landmark 2018 paper on Majorana particles was famously retracted in 2021 after independent physicists discovered the data had been inappropriately cropped. That historical baggage makes the current Python-related allegations particularly sensitive. If the foundational math and data processing for the 2025 breakthrough are genuinely flawed, the highly anticipated 2029 commercial timeline could easily be delayed or, worse, cancelled.

    • AMD releases hotfix for driver install issues on Windows 10 PCs

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      AMD releases hotfix for driver install issues on Windows 10 PCs by Taras Buria Earlier this week, AMD released an important graphics driver update. Version 26.6.2 brought AMD FSR 4.1 support to the previous-gen Radeon lineup, the RX 7000 series, giving users better upscaling tech that was previously locked to the newest GPUs. However, the driver turned out to be a little buggy, with users reporting installation issues on systems still running Windows 10. AMD quickly acknowledged the bug and today released a hotfix to resolve the problem. The AMD 26.6.3 Hotfix update is now available for download from the official website. Given that it is a hotfix release, it has only one change in its release notes: AMD announced the update on its official X account and added that a WHQL driver update with the necessary fixes would be released next week. Meanwhile, users can apply the hotfix or roll back to the previous driver using the official AMD Cleanup Utility. You can download AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.3 Hotfix Preview Driver from the official website here. It is compatible with all currently supported graphics cards and 64-bit Windows 10 and 11. Full release notes are available on the same page.
    • Windows 11 is now five years old

      By Nick H. · Posted

      With Microsoft now listening to its core audience and acting upon received feedback, fans can finally expect a much better version of Windows 11 than what was available five years ago. Here is to five more years, Windows 11! I guess we all need a good laugh now and again...
