How is everyone doing? I haven't had a chance to drop into Neowin much over the past week.

Cradle of Filth are hardly death metal... And I'm pretty sure any death metal listeners wouldn't be into HIM.

Cradle of Filth used to be a black metal band, but now they're considered "extreme gothic metal" if you want to get overly technical. And I agree about the HIM comment, bleh.

What is a good metal band similiar to Children of Bodom? They rock, and I need more bands similiar to them 8)

If you like CoB you'll also like Norther. Both bands sound very, very similar.

Arch Enemy doesn't sound like CoB. Neither did At the Gates. You can't just throw out well-known Scandanavian acts to compare them. They're melo-death metal bands while CoB is power/speed with harsh vocals. If you want CoB-like sound, seriously check out Norther.

I think it's funny how many metal heads get so bothered about people mislabelling genres. The world is going to end when someone calls Slayer Death Metal, fyi. ;)

Looking forward to the new Decapitated, looking forward to seeing Nile live as well. Hopefully I get a ticket.

Anyone here listen to Opera IX?

True, I just wanted to reccomend Amon Amarth, and I don't have a ****ing clue whats labelled as what in metal... is the Black Dahlia Murder thrash? or speed? or death? . . .

Anyone here like BDM? I can't quite help thinking my current love of 'closed casket requiem' might be a little unhealthy.

Oh and how heard of are Viking Skull? I saw them live and tbh (I'm sorry) wasn't impressed, would probably need a while to get into it. That said, they put on a good show - using a grinder on their guitar at the end sending a shower of sparks each and every way.

Norther is great, thanks a lot man (Y)

Yes sir, great band.

I got tickets to Opeth's show in NYC next month as well as Decapitated/Nile on the 6th.

Opera IX - [The Black Opera Symphoniae Mysteriorum In Laudem Tenebrarum #06] ACT VI The Sixth Seal [7:50] :-D

I wish I could find more of their stuff.

Those are the two shows I'm trying to go to as well, hahah.

If anyone is really into Norse Mythology or Viking themes, you should check out Equilibrium's album Turis Fratyr and Falkenbach's latest release, Heralding - The Fireblade. Of course, you can always check out classics such as Ensiferum's two albums and Wintersun.

    • Brave Browser 1.91.178 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package.
