: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!

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.

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.

    • I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance by Karthik Mudaliar Qualcomm is reportedly in advanced discussions to provide custom chip-design services to Chinese tech giant ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. According to a report from Reuters, Qualcomm could be involved in designing custom silicon tailored for ByteDance's massive data-center workloads. If it goes through, the deal would make ByteDance one of Qualcomm's early anchor customers for its fastly growing custom chip-design division, For years, Qualcomm was the king of making smartphone processors and modems. The company has also been moving into the PC ecosystem and other formats such as on-device AI for Android XR headsets. However, this particular deal is about Qualcomm's custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For a platform like TikTok, ByteDance needs hardware that can help it ingest, process, and serve billions of short-form videos daily. Generalised hardware is no longer the most cost-effective and efficient route, which is why ByteDance is trying to develop custom Video Processing Units (VPUs). VPUs designed specifically for ByteDance’s algorithmic needs could drastically reduce data-center power consumption and improve encoding speeds at an unprecedented scale. The underlying tech behind these processors is actually from Qualcomm's recent acquisition of AlphaWave Semi, a high-speed connectivity specialist company. By combining AlphaWave’s high-bandwidth IP with Qualcomm’s architectural expertise, the company could begin mass production by the end of 2026, if the talks go through. All this also comes at a time when U.S.-China tech relations have dwindled. Escalating trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have severely impacted the export of high-end AI chips from U.S. firms like Nvidia, AMD, and Lam Research. Yet, the Qualcomm-ByteDance discussions show that U.S. tech companies are still actively seeking growth avenues and are open to doing business with China, where regulators still permit. Reuters notes that the outcome of this deal could be uncertain, and ByteDance might also seek partners other than Qualcomm. via Reuters | Image via DepositPhotos.com
