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.

    • I used a Pixel 10 Pro XL when it first came out for about 8 months. When I first got it, it was using Google assistant and that was fast, when asking it to call somone etc. Then it automatically switched with some update to Gemini. Doing even the simplist of things like asking it to call someone in my contacts was soooooo slow compared to Google assistant. I guess it had to go out to the cloud to do that? Back on iPhone and while Siri is dumb right now, it does do those simple things, like call someone, set a timer, star the stop watch etc, really fast. That an while I like Google Material Design 3 over iOS 26, they Pixel 10 Pro XL was so slow in comparison to the iPhone 17 Pro I am using.
    • I use Gemini in my rotation of AI clients...that work pays for. It is good at most things, better than copilot for imgage searching and making images, worse at writing vs Claude and way worse at hadling technical issues when it comes to Azure stuff. I also use YT premium and maps. Anything else Google is a pass for me. I have now seen multiple people locked out of their Google accounts for reasons that are just very vauge.
    • Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced plans to build a new datacenter campus in Pecos, Texas, as the company continues to invest billions in AI infrastructure. The new facility, called project Kilby, will reportedly have a capacity of 2 gigawatts and will be one of the largest single capacity additions in the company’s history. To power the campus, Microsoft signed a 20-year deal with Chevron to supply natural gas from the Permian Basin, America's largest oil field. This deal is set to become the largest collaboration to date between a U.S. oil and gas giant and Big Tech. It’s no secret that Big Tech has often been criticized for exploiting natural resources for its AI developments. Microsoft is trying to mitigate some of that negative consensus by promising to build its own power supply for the new datacenter, independent of the public grid. The Pecos datacenter will be powered by a power plant hub, built by Chevron, with up to 2.5 gigawatts of gas-fired capacity, with potential to scale to up to 5 gigawatts. The facility will include at least seven GE Vernova turbines, with first power potentially coming online as early as late 2027 or early 2028. The power plant hub is part of an approximately $7 billion investment by Chevron, making it one of the largest dedicated energy projects tied to a single datacenter campus in the U.S. Microsoft hasn’t publicly disclosed the amount it’s investing in the new datacenter. Microsoft has also committed to implementing a closed-loop cooling system that will only require an initial water charge to operate. The company said that “the total lifecycle water use of this datacenter is only a fraction of that consumed annually by a typical fast-food restaurant.” What the press release doesn’t mention, however, is how much water the natural gas plant itself will consume, or how a 20-year fossil fuel commitment squares with the company's pledge to be carbon negative by 2030. The construction of the new datacenter should provide over 6,000 construction jobs at peak build-out, and create hundreds of operational job roles once the facility is built. Via: Reuters
