:D i see Hypocrisy next week! and the black dahlia murder (sp?) tommorow :D what kinda songs does hypocrisy play stuff from catch 22 and virus i hope ...

They opened with Warpath and closed out with Let the Knife do the Talking from Virus. They mixed in a pretty decent blend of stuff from their previous albums in between, ranging from Impotent God from their first album to stuff from newer albums.

Why would you want stuff from Catch 22? That album was part of Hypocrisy's crap years.

Oh, and I won Metal Review's Green Carnation giveaway contest! Sweet!

Just wanna hear "dont judge me" and "destroyed" :) cause thoose imo are the two best songs on that album am not saying that album is awesome or anything i just wanna hear them two lol.

:D I cant wait to see them warpath as an opener yaaaaaaaaas :D .

Well it's a good chance their set list for your tour could be different, but probably not.

Silly UK folks, I have no idea what "pish" means. :D

Pish = **** + The Black Dahlia Murder thats one of them "deathcore" bands which are like emmmmmm .... crap? i mean i thought they would be good but they proved me wrong =/.

Edited by wing.

I think the Black Dahlia Murder is pretty cool. Who else would think of a song name called 'Statutory Rape'.

Have you ever listened to any brutal death metal or goregrind?

Dying Fetus - Kill Your Mother, Rape Your Dog

Cannibal Corpse - Stripped, Raped, and Strangled

Aborted - Gurgling Rotten Feces

And so forth. Of course, song titles don't make a band. The music is still very good. (Y)

Come to think of it, the song title "Statutory Rape" probably comes from their only female fans being 16-year old, Hot Topic wearing ___core girls crying about how much life sucks.

That was such an owning post :rofl: well this wednesday its the Hypocrisy gig i think its gonna be awesome :D also any one heard of Omnium Gatherum? there pretty goooooood.

Yes, Omnium Gatherum is a good band. I haven't listened to them in a while, but you've put the idea back in my head. Perhaps when I get done listening to this new Psycroptic album I'll give them another go. That, however, might be a while.

hes quite a special fellow dont worry

Just saw In Flames, Trivium, Devildriver and Zao last night .... so so awesome... it was really impressive.

Zao = not good.

Devildriver put on an awesome show... they rock hard :punk:

Trivium is just incredible. one of my favorite bands. During their set they did a cover of some of Pantera's songs, namely Walk, to commemorate Dimebag since he was killed in Columbus. On top of all this, Mark, the lead singer of Chimaira, comes out on stage, randomly, to sing (scream) the Pantera songs w/ the band. Just so unexpected and so awesome :D

In Flames is the sh*t as usual. Awesome set, awesome show, not much else to say... speechless. Sold out show and the crowd loved it (Y)

I've been hearing a lot about Trivium and I finally gave them a chance. Rather unimpressed really. The vocals are absolute, utter **** in my opinion, so I won't even cover them beyond this.

They do have a few decent riffs here and there, but overall the guitarwork is incredibly uninspired. Nothing fresh, exciting, original etc...none of these words come to mind when I put on Ascendancy.

The rhythm section is incredibly boring as well. The only redeeming quality I can think of when it comes to percussion is some cool double bass here and there...but honestly, what modern metal band can't pull off some sparse double bass? No interesting fills, intricate beats, killer groove...none of it to be found here. The bass is far too low in the mix, though it might as well be, because it wasn't doing much either.

The only reason I can see someone being impressed by this band is having never heard a thrashy styled riff played over double bass. If you like that part, there are plenty of better bands that can do that (Dark Angel! Behemoth! Nile!).

/Me deletes ascendancy from hard drive.

Yeah i've never liked them to be honest. Yeah they have some good riffs but a band isnt all about if it can pull of the best riff.

2005 was the year when you heard none stop about how Trivium gonna be the next big thing :rolleyes:

How wrong :yes:

its called an open mind ;)

Boo! Hiss!

I'm just kidding, but metal is all I really listen to aside from a very few exceptions.

I don't particularly care for Trivium either (too metalcore-ish for my tastes), but I will be seeing CoB next month. They're playing with Through the Eyes of the Dead (some metalcore band, sigh) and Chimaira, who has their moments.

Glancing at Metal Archives seems others share my opinion. :p

Interestingly enough I just checked that myself earlier. I've never seen ratings so low for albums with more than say five reviews, not even newer In Flames crap or Soilwork's Stabbing the Drama.

    • Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft's aggressive roadmap to deliver a commercial quantum supercomputer by 2029 has now hit a bit of a snag, and it's not because of a complex sub-zero dilution refrigerator, but rather because of a few lines of basic Python code. A new critique published in the scientific journal Nature argues that simple software errors effectively manufactured the breakthrough that Microsoft's foundational research claimed back in 2025 into Majorana-based topological qubits. Topological quantum computing, the path that Microsoft chose for its research, relies on creating and controlling "Majorana zero modes." These are exotic quasiparticles that theoretically offer vastly superior error resistance compared to the highly sensitive superconducting qubits currently being championed by rivals like Google and IBM. However, physically proving you have created these particles requires sifting through massive amounts of complex electrical conductance data to isolate a specific "topological gap." Because of the sheer volume of data, physicists rely heavily on custom software pipelines to process the results. This is where the Python scripts come in. Now, according to the critique, Microsoft’s data processing software contained fundamental programming errors that ultimately skewed the published results. By mishandling data arrays or deploying incorrect logic within the Python script, the software supposedly discarded "noisy" or contradictory data. Which is why it only highlighted the specific electrical measurements that supported the topological-gap claim. The researchers behind the critique argued that this makes the findings invalid, suggesting the heralded "quantum leap" was actually a false positive generated by bad code and not a product of groundbreaking physics. However, Microsoft is pushing back hard against these allegations. The Redmond giant has formally rejected the criticism, saying that it's just a minor anomaly rather than a fatal flaw. According to the company, while there may have been a minor oversight in the data parsing scripts, it does not alter the fundamental reality of their physical experiment. Just weeks ago, Microsoft unveiled the Majorana 2 quantum processor, a milestone so significant that the company boldly accelerated its timeline for a commercial quantum supercomputer from 2035 down to 2029. But the new software allegations reopen an old wound. Microsoft's quantum division faced a remarkably similar crisis when a landmark 2018 paper on Majorana particles was famously retracted in 2021 after independent physicists discovered the data had been inappropriately cropped. That historical baggage makes the current Python-related allegations particularly sensitive. If the foundational math and data processing for the 2025 breakthrough are genuinely flawed, the highly anticipated 2029 commercial timeline could easily be delayed or, worse, cancelled.

    • AMD releases hotfix for driver install issues on Windows 10 PCs by Taras Buria Earlier this week, AMD released an important graphics driver update. Version 26.6.2 brought AMD FSR 4.1 support to the previous-gen Radeon lineup, the RX 7000 series, giving users better upscaling tech that was previously locked to the newest GPUs. However, the driver turned out to be a little buggy, with users reporting installation issues on systems still running Windows 10. AMD quickly acknowledged the bug and today released a hotfix to resolve the problem. The AMD 26.6.3 Hotfix update is now available for download from the official website. Given that it is a hotfix release, it has only one change in its release notes: AMD announced the update on its official X account and added that a WHQL driver update with the necessary fixes would be released next week. Meanwhile, users can apply the hotfix or roll back to the previous driver using the official AMD Cleanup Utility. You can download AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.3 Hotfix Preview Driver from the official website here. It is compatible with all currently supported graphics cards and 64-bit Windows 10 and 11. Full release notes are available on the same page.
    • With Microsoft now listening to its core audience and acting upon received feedback, fans can finally expect a much better version of Windows 11 than what was available five years ago. Here is to five more years, Windows 11! I guess we all need a good laugh now and again...
