Anyone in the mood for some insane brutal death metal would do well to check out Decrepit Birth.  I listened to this album a lot when it came out in 2003, but just recently rediscovered it, hence the sig change.

Just to say, just seen Alice Cooper and Twisted Sister live. Fecking awesome.

Didn't know that Twisted Sister wrote the song "burn in hell", had only heard the Black Label Society version of it before 6 hours ago.

Nice but are you trying to buy every metal cd ever made :rofl:

:fro:

Impossibility of Reason is their favorite album of mine.

Kiwi, if you haven't before, check out Man Must Die. They're a tech death band with splashes of metalcore, but not enough to disinterest me. Their site has the first track from their debut album.

I just can't get enuff of CoBs latest. Track 4 has such a good chorus, I love songs with melodic choruses countering stompy ass verses.

Also grabbed the Lamb of God dvd they are just amazing, I can't get enough of this band.

Got the machine head DVD, which I've not really watched yet. They are cool, but LOG is just so much more fun to play along with!

Yeah i got the LOG DVD. Just amazing where it's not edited just plain old filming which i like. None of this mainstream edit just to sell records. :D

I just picked up Solefald's latest album, and wow. This album, called Red for Fire; An Icelandic Odyssey Part 1 is (naturally) the first part of a two disc record. The second half, Black for Death, is due out next spring. It's an interesting combination of jazzy saxophones and black metal. It's worth a listen. However, if you don't like black/avantgarde metal like Akercocke, Arcturus, etc., it won't be for you.

I just discovered Willowtip records and their stunning catologue of bands.

Some to check out:

Alarum (Tech-death-Jazz stuff, amazing)

Arsis (Melo-Death that is really technical and good, without lacking originality)

Capharnaum (Another Melo-death band other than Edge of Sanity that is good, jesus!)

Coprofago (Tech-Extreme-Metal, inhuman assault on the senses (think of Meshuggah but a ****load better) with a jazzy influence)

Goatsblood (Devastating Doom metal, sure to crush and kill you through your headphones)

Gorod (Extremely technical, brutal, and precise death/grind metal)

Rune (Atmospheric Death Metal that needs to be heard)

The Chasm (Would be a crime to just label it death metal, more like an atmospheric death/black/thrash etc etc band, really unique)

If you like black metal (no I'm not talking about Cradle of Filth, and I feel like I shouldn't have to say it but I need to)

Arckanum

Astrofaes

Baptism

Belenos

Celestia

Code

Drudkh

Epheles

Funeral Mist

Glorior Belli

Horna

Inquisition

Kampfar

Katharsis

Lunar Aurora

Malleus Maleficarum

Mutiilation

Nifelheim

Ondskapt

Svartsyn

Svest

Taake

Urfaust

Watain

Wyrd

meh, i don't know how helpful that was but i've got nothing else to do.

Good stuff man. I've been into Alarum, Arsis, Capharnaum, Coprofago, and The Chasm for quite some time. I'll have a look at the others.

Astrofaes and Drudkh are great. I think we're going to have to help people discern black metal from CoF forever, so get used to it.

    • Exactly, this is just the beginning. I hope that by that time, our inept politicians devise something like a Universal Basic Income, because unemployment and poverty rates will skyrocket otherwise. And believe me, robots that perform physical work aren't a matter of IF, but WHEN. No career is truly safe from AI/robots, it's just a matter of time.

Subtitle Edit 5.0.0 changelog: Subtitle Edit 5 is a major new release and a big step for the project. For the first time, Subtitle Edit runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux from a single, modern, cross-platform codebase. The builds are self-contained, so no separate .NET installation is required, and on macOS and Linux the needed media components (mpv/ffmpeg) are bundled in. Please read before upgrading: Subtitle Edit 5 is a new application, not just an update of Subtitle Edit 4. It has been rebuilt from the ground up to be cross-platform, so: It is not 100% the same app. The look, layout, and some workflows have changed. Some things are in different places, and a few behave differently than in SE4. Not every SE4 feature exists in SE5 yet. SE5 covers all the core editing, conversion, sync, video playback, OCR, and online services, but some of the more specialized SE4 tools are not available yet. Features will continue to be added. If you rely on a specific SE4 feature that is missing, please keep SE4 installed alongside SE5. The easiest way to run both side by side is to use the Portable versions of SE4 and SE5, which keep their settings separate and do not interfere with each other. Which version should I use? Subtitle Edit 5: recommended for most users on Windows 10 (22H2) or newer, macOS 12+, and Linux. Subtitle Edit 4: please continue to use SE4 if you are on an older Windows version (Windows 7/8), or on older / slower computers where SE5 may not run well. SE4 remains available and is the right choice in those cases. To run SE4 and SE5 at the same time, use the Portable versions - you can try SE5 while keeping SE4 as a fallback.

    • Google Pixel 11 series: Here's what to expect by Hamid Ganji Google Pixel 10 series In recent years, Google has successfully turned its Pixel devices into worthy contenders in the smartphone market. The search giant is now preparing to launch the Pixel 11 series in just a few months, and many Pixel fans are likely wondering what Google has in store for them this year. The next lineup of Google smartphones includes four devices: the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. This year, we don’t expect Google to bring revolutionary upgrades to its handsets, and the Pixel 11 series is likely to receive modest hardware improvements alongside a slew of AI-powered features. Here are the rumored specifications of the Google Pixel 11 series ahead of its official debut: When will the new Pixel phones be unveiled? The last two generations of Google Pixel phones (Pixel 9 series and Pixel 10 series) were launched in August, unlike the previous three generations that debuted in October. With that in mind, we expect Google to unveil the Pixel 11 series sometime in August 2026. The exact launch date has yet to be confirmed. Google Pixel 11 CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines How much will the Pixel 11 series cost? Predicting the final price of upcoming smartphones has become increasingly difficult. As you may know, RAM and memory prices are rising sharply, leading to significant increases in the cost of consumer electronics. Recently, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that price increases for some future Apple products are unavoidable, suggesting that the iPhone 18 series could become more expensive. Google has remained tight-lipped about any potential price increases for the Pixel 11 series. If the company manages to maintain last year’s pricing structure, here’s what the lineup could cost: Pixel 11: $799 Pixel 11 Pro: $999 Pixel 11 Pro XL: $1,199 Pixel 11 Pro Fold: $1,799 Given current market conditions, it may be difficult for Google to avoid raising prices unless it adopts cost-saving measures, such as equipping the base model with 8GB of RAM. Google Pixel 11 series anticipated specs: We expect the Google Pixel 11 series to debut with a new Tensor G6 processor as well as an upgraded camera system. The overall design, however, is expected to remain largely unchanged across the lineup. Specifications Pixel 11 Pixel 11 Pro Pixel 11 Pro XL Pixel 11 Pro Fold Display 6.3-inch LTPO AMOLED / 120Hz refresh rate / up to 3100 nits of brightness 6.3-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 6.8-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 8-inch inner screen and 6.4-inch outer display, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness RAM & Processor Tensor G6 / 8-12GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 16GB of RAM Storage options 128GB or 256GB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB Camera 50MP main sensor, 13MP ultra-wide, 10.8MP 5x telephoto, 10.5MP front camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 10.5MP ultra-wide camera, 10.8MP telephoto camera, 10MP front camera, 10MP inner camera Battery 4,840 mAh 4,707 mAh 5,000 mAh 4,658 mAh Software Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 The Pixel 11 series won’t be a major departure from its predecessor, with Google instead focusing on subtle improvements and AI additions such as Gemini Intelligence. However, a patent filed by Google suggests the company is working on a removable battery for its smartphones, and we could see this feature make its way to the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Given that nearly all smartphones today lack removable batteries, such a feature would be a welcome addition to future Pixel devices. That said, it may not arrive with this year’s lineup after all, and the final decision is yet to be made by Google. The Pixel 11 series could also face an uphill battle in the market. In the Android segment, Samsung is performing well with the Galaxy S26 series, while the Galaxy Z Fold 8 lineup is also expected to launch next month. On the other hand, Apple is preparing to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in September alongside its first foldable iPhone.
