I can tell you Mr. Raa that Edguy, Grave Digger, Evergrey, Moonsorrow, Twilightning, Within Temptation, Sentenced, Pagan's Mind (!!!), Blind Guardian, Gamma Ray, Stormwarrior (!!!), and Norther are all great bands.

More are either power, speed, or prog metal. Norther is very much like Bodom, but some of ther stuff I find to be much better.

Pagan's Mind :punk:

I just found those guys recently. A nice happy accident. Osiris' Eyes is awesome.

My sisters boyfriend sings in a metal band and everytime they come from the studio I have to ask how is the new album, he plays it and it sounds like nonsence to me ;). Apparently they have become kinda known in the underground scene. Do you hear anything in that music? To me every song is the same and I can't ever hear what they are singing about. Link to their website with tracks.

mmn, you don't know finntroll... i suppose i can't upload a song of theirs, try and find some. anyone know how long till gates of metal decides what bands are going to be playing this year? i want to go, would like to know who i'll see, all line ups so far been excellent

Edit: I only know the bands in bold... should go on a cd buying spree, wait... student overdraft to pay off first :(

:o Thats like a bloody dream festival right there!

^ Yes. Yes it is. And I will go, even if I have to increase the size of my overdraft and kill little Mary.

About Mortyrfear - the songs on "let the fist do the talking" all sound very ah, samey.

Ah, these next two albums down the list, demo 4 and 3, are better - though I haven't listened to whole songs.

Still, I like them - would see them if they played in Brighton (though thats unlikely if they're in Finland), how well known are they? They likely to get into any festivals?

anybody heard a nightrage the new boys from gotenburg(sp?) if you like melodic death give them a look up "Phantasma" very very good song by them :D

New? They already have two studio albums under their belt. :D

With the departure of Lindberg I don't see them going anywhere. He was the one guy that really brought them attention and notoriety. Sweet Vengeance is easily one of my favorite melo-death albums of all time, but Descent Into Chaos was disappointing by comparison. Tom Englund's clean vocals really gave SV a bit of style as well.

Get the review of Kataklysm's latest up, it's pretty good. :D

It's not a bad album by all means, but compared to Serenity in Fire, I thought it was a bit of a step backwards for Kataklysm. Tell you who really impressed me though, Scars of Tomorrow - their new album really kicked my ass. Expect a review of both albums in the coming few days!

Have you guys heard of Apocalyptica? check out their album Apocalyptica - Apocalyptica for amazing instrumental stuff I especially love the song Betrayal Forgiveness on that album which I think is an amazing blend of classical and metal.

Of course, but I have to be in the mood for them. :cool:

Not their best by any means, but it's better than I had hoped.

    • Apple Watch Series 11 GPS just crashed to 30% off in this fast-moving Prime Day deal by Karthik Mudaliar The Apple Watch Series 11 is available for $279, down from its $399 list price, saving buyers $120, or 30%. Amazon labels the offer as selling fast, so the current price may not remain available for long. This GPS model features a 42mm aluminum case, an Always-On Retina LTPO3 OLED display capable of reaching up to 2,000 nits, and an Ion-X glass surface with improved scratch resistance. Apple rates Series 11 for up to 24 hours of normal use or up to 38 hours in Low Power Mode, with fast charging providing up to eight hours of use from a 15-minute charge. Health and fitness tools include sleep scoring, temperature sensing, ECG support, heart-rate alerts, workout tracking, sleep apnea notifications, and hypertension notifications, where available. The watch also carries IP6X dust resistance and 50-meter water resistance. This configuration is best suited to iPhone owners who want comprehensive health tracking, notifications, contactless payments, and workout data without stepping up to a larger or cellular-equipped model. The smaller case should also appeal to buyers who prefer a lighter watch, while the S/M band fits wrists measuring 130mm to 180mm. With the current generation now significantly below its usual retail price, this is a strong time to replace an aging Apple Watch or buy a first model without compromising on Apple’s newest health and display features.

    • GitHub removes manual model selection from Copilot free and student plans by Karthik Mudaliar GitHub is removing the ability to manually select an AI model from its Copilot Free and Student plans, making its automatic routing system the default and only way to choose a model. This means users on these tiers will no longer be able to deliberately select a particular OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Microsoft model for a task. In its announcement, GitHub said Copilot Auto will dynamically choose what it considers the best model for each request. Free and Student accounts will retain access to models from multiple families, although the available selection will continue to depend on the restrictions attached to each plan. GitHub did not identify a fixed pool of models that Auto will always use, and its documentation warns that model availability can change over time. GitHub describes Auto as more than a random fallback system. On supported surfaces, its task-optimization technology evaluates the complexity of a request alongside real-time information about model health and availability. Straightforward prompts can be routed to faster and less expensive models, while more demanding coding tasks may be sent to higher-cost reasoning models. The company says this approach should reduce rate limiting, latency, and failed requests. Auto generally selects one model along natural prompt-caching boundaries rather than repeatedly switching models during a session, as GitHub found that mid-session changes increased costs without producing sufficient improvements in output quality. Users can still check which model generated a response. In Copilot Chat, the information appears when hovering over an answer, while Copilot CLI and the Copilot cloud agent display the selected model alongside their output. Auto is available in Copilot Chat, Copilot CLI, and the cloud agent, with the exact implementation and release status varying between supported development environments. The latest restriction follows several months of adjustments to Copilot’s individual plans. GitHub temporarily halted new Pro, Pro+, and Student subscriptions in April as it sought to manage demand and service reliability. It later introduced token-based billing and began gradually reopening individual-plan registrations on June 17. Alongside the picker change, GitHub is retiring the “Preview” label from Microsoft-developed models. It argues that the label is no longer necessary because Auto handles model routing and models are continuously updated behind the scenes.
