Lucky ******!! I badly want to see Amon Amarth - shame I left Canada just before they arrived :cry:

As for album recommendations:

1349 - Hellfire (Black Metal)

Vinterriket - any album they've made!!! (Dark Ambient)

Lykathea Aflame - Elvenfris (Symphonic Death/Progressive Metal)

In fact just check my metal site out, I review a fair amount each month and I'm sure you'll find some ideas for albums on there ;)

You have some nice reviews on there :woot:

Some nice reads. :D

We went to see Inflames with Motorhead the other night, quite a drive there and back, and I had work the next morning which combined with a stomping 10 day old headache meant I left right after inflames, and didn't see motorhead. Felt kinda disrespectful, but at the end of the day I'm just not into them.

Inflames were great, well worth the money + trip. I can't wait for Come Clarity, I've heard only *very very* good things so far!!!

Nice site... there are some pretty nice reviews.

I will need to check out some of those album recommendations.

I love Dimmu Borgir and I wasn't too happy with the re-recording of Stormblast. I guess I got used to the "new" Dimmu. And In Flames' new album is pretty good. I haven't quite got my teeth really sunk into it, yet. I'm sure the more I listen to it the more I'll like it.

Found a great Death Metal band named Psycroptic (http://www.metal-archives.com/). Really good technical Death. Also I've been listening to a lot of Iniquity (Death Metal from Denmark) which is also good stuff. And lastly, Crowpath. Spazzy/Technical Metal from Willowtip (really awesome stuff).

I've been listening to Psycroptic for over a year, and I agree. They're an excellent tech-death outfit, and definitely one of the best Aussie bands out there. If you haven't, try to score a copy of their self-released first album, Isle of Disenchantment. It's not quite as good as their first label album The Sceptre of the Ancients, but very good for an independent release.

If you try In Flames, listen to their older stuff... the newer stuff isnt that good. I suggest anything from Reroute to Remain and before that.

Colony was one of their worst albums..very nu-metal type stuff. New album is much heavier :devil:

yep, I have both those albums. Recently discovered Solitude Aeturnus which is a killer heavy/doom metal band from Texas. I'd heard of them before but never really listened to them until now. Amazing music with some killer vocals. Also been listening to a lot of Neuraxis, and I can definitely say this is some of the best if not the best current death metal out there. Great technicallity and musicianship from these guys. Both bands highly recommended.

On topic: Lately I've been listening to Chimaira's selftitled, it rawks, lol. Can someone recommend me some other Chimaira stuff... Or similar trash/metalcore bands? Thx.

Check out Bleeding Through, I have a review for their new album up here:

Bleeding Through - The Truth @ Astrofaes Metal Domain

It's definitely their best album to date - highly recommended to fans of melodic deathcore (Unearth, As I Lay Dying, Darkest Hour etc.)

    • Because of what they have done to VMware I will never buy anything Broadcom again.
    • 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.
    • 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...
    • Amazon Prime Day 2026 deal sees Samsung Odyssey 49" 240Hz QD-OLED monitor at lowest price by Sayan Sen Earlier today we covered a very good deal on JBL's BAR 800 Dolby Atmos soundbar system as the unit is available for just $600 as part of Amazon Prime Day 2026 deals. That's not all though as there are many more discounts to choose from. If you are looking for a high-end monitor, Samsung's 49 inch G9 QD-OLED gaming monitor is a solid deal too as it's currently just $855 (purchase link under the specs table down below). It is a super-ultrawide (32:9) 1440p curved gaming monitor and as such should offer a very immersive experience. The G93SC is a 49-inch QD-OLED (Quantum Dot OLED) screen and that means it should have excellent contrast as well as color reproduction. Brightness is a bit lacking though so if you are looking to set it up in a relatively bright room, you may be better off with something else. Speaking of external light and brightness, the major difference on the G93SC vs the newer G93SD is that the latter comes with Samsung's "Glare Free" technology to reduce glare while the C model packs a glossy finish. The technical specifications of the Samsung G93SC are given in the table below: Specification Value Panel Type OLED Screen Shape Curved Screen Curvature 1800R Resolution DQHD (5120 × 1440) Aspect Ratio 32:9 Brightness (Typical) 250 cd/m² Brightness (Minimum) 200 cd/m² Contrast Ratio 1,000,000:1 HDR Support VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 HDR10+ HDR10+ Gaming Response Time 0.03 ms (GTG) Refresh Rate Up to 240 Hz Viewing Angle 178° Horizontal / 178° Vertical Color Support 1 Billion Colors Color Gamut 99% DCI-P3 (CIE1976) Adaptive Sync FreeSync Premium Pro / G-SYNC Compatible DisplayPort 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 HDMI 1 × HDMI 2.1 Micro HDMI 1 × Micro HDMI 2.1 USB Hub 3 × USB 3.0 Speakers Built-in Speaker Output 5W × 2 Channels Operating Temperature 10°C – 40°C Operating Humidity 10–80% (Non-condensing) Stand Type Height Adjustable Stand (HAS) Height Adjustment 120.0 ± 5.0 mm Tilt -2° (±2°) to 15° (±2°) Wall Mount 100 × 100 mm (VESA) Included HDMI Cable HDMI-to-Micro HDMI Cable Included DisplayPort Cable Yes Get it at the link below: Samsung 49" Odyssey G93SC Series Curved Gaming Monitor, QD-OLED: $854.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US with Prime) Prime subscription can be cancelled within three business days at no cost.

    • Actually Windows 11 is the GUI from Windows 10 X slapped onto Windows 10. Hence the many performance issues and initial limitations of the UI, like all the restrictions on the task bar placement and features. You could not even right click on the Taskbar and bring up task manager when it first shipped. Windows 10X was truly a new OS from the ground up. Basically a lightweight OS that ran containers for various app types. Win32 got its own container. Performance was not good and OEM’s pushed back on it, but wanted a new OS to push Pc sales. Hence Windows 11. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_10X
