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.

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.
    • Qualcomm takes on NVIDIA with new Dragonfly CPU and AI chips by Pradeep Viswanathan Microsoft, Google, Amazon, AMD, Meta, Apple, OpenAI, and several others have been developing their own chips for AI infrastructure. However, NVIDIA still remains the dominant player in the market. Today, Qualcomm announced a major expansion of its data center infrastructure portfolio to better compete with NVIDIA. The new lineup includes the Qualcomm Dragonfly C1000 CPU, Qualcomm High Bandwidth Compute technology, the Dragonfly AI300 inference accelerator, new connectivity products, and custom silicon solutions. Qualcomm claims that this new lineup improves performance per watt, token throughput, and total cost of ownership for AI data centers. The Dragonfly C1000 is a new data center CPU built with Qualcomm’s custom Oryon cores. This chip will feature more than 250 cores, frequencies above 5GHz, and a chiplet-based design. Qualcomm claims that this new C1000 can deliver more than 2x better performance per watt compared to existing server CPU offerings based on specifications. The Dragonfly C1000 will support PCIe Gen 7 with more than 2TB/s of connectivity, along with CXL, advanced RAS features, and both air and liquid cooling. Qualcomm expects the Dragonfly C1000 to be commercially available in 2028. Additionally, Qualcomm and Meta announced a multi-year, multi-generation agreement under which Qualcomm will supply Dragonfly C1000 data center CPUs for Meta’s next-generation server fleet. Qualcomm also announced High Bandwidth Compute, a new near-memory computing architecture designed to address AI’s memory bandwidth bottleneck. HBC Gen 1 will debut with the Dragonfly AI250, which is expected to sample in mid-2027. The AI250 will deliver 133TB/s per card, an 18x increase in effective memory bandwidth compared to the AI200 with LPDDR5X. The new Dragonfly AI300 with HBC Gen 2 is a rack-level AI inference platform from Qualcomm. Qualcomm claims that the AI300 can deliver 4x to 8x better performance per watt compared to existing GPU-based architectures based on memory bandwidth per watt per card. The Dragonfly AI300 is expected to be available in 2028.
