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.

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.

    • Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size

      Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Payday 2, the most popular entry in the heisting game franchise, is getting a surprising update after all these years. This is slated to be a complete engine upgrade that will enhance almost every aspect of the 13-year-old title, targeting performance, loading times, file size, rendering backend, and more. Developer Sidetrack Games is planning a beta to test out the new version ahead of the full public launch. The development team today revealed that the long-awaited upgrade to the 64-bit architecture is happening with this Diesel 3.0 engine update. By letting the game use more ram than 4GB, it is said to improve stability and compatibility on most hardware. It should also help modders in the long term with implementing larger changes too. "While many of the changes are made on the backend and not everything will be visible to you guys because it is a massive rewrite of the entire codebase, there will be a lot of things that you can look forward to," Sidetrack explained. Payday 2 will also hop over from DirectX 9 to 11. Instead of visual improvements, this is slated to reduce the amount of VRAM used by the title, letting more lower-end hardware access the title and run it better. Since these changes would require a complete redownload of the game anyway, Sidetrack says it has revamped "the game's packaging and bundling system." This should reduce the installation size from 86GB to 32GB. "So, now it's time to finally move the game to your SSDs," added the studio. The Payday 2 Diesel Engine 3.0 update is entering open beta on June 30 for Steam users. No console release plans were announced today. Sidetrack Games says it has been working on this complete rewrite of the codebase for the last nine months. While these changes should break most mods, the studio encouraged modders to use the beta period to repair their creations with support from the development team.
