Opeth this Wednesday. :punk: And they said they weren't going to reschedule the Phoenix show. I love those guys.

Hope you enjoy that, make sure you have a few lighters to sway in the air when their playing hope leaves and some of their other quiet ones.

I want to see them.

First though it's In Flames for me, in 9 days with s0il and sepultura.

First post in metal forum for me :)

I just came back from In flames / Sepultura show in Stockholm (Arenan)

and Holy hell :)

Sepultura opened open with some very very fast songs that really got the people warm.

Then after they had their time it was time for the best live show ive seen in a long time.

In Flames going strong with songs from Lunar Strain, Clayman, Whoracle, Reroute.. , Soundtrack and Come clarity.

Really got the crowd going ! the massive feeling of a whole crowd jumping at the same time and screaming the lyrics to the classical Bullet ride, or the new Come Clarity or Crawling through Knifes.

ill remember it forever :D

O my :cool: Cannibal Corpse album OWNS!!! :devil:

It's alright, but then again I was never that big into CC.

If you want some good new stuff, check out the new Zyklon album, it's pretty good. I liked Aeon and World Ov Worms a lot, so I might be a slight bit biased.

My friend saw CoB the other night and got some stuff signed at an in-store signing a few hours before. I was exhausted from my trip and passed out all day or I would have gone as well.

omfg, is all I can say. I had a ticket with my name on it for Flames' in Gothenburg. Home town and all, with backstage pass and whatnot. And I couldn't f****** go. But at the very least the ###### who got (for free) my ticket was happy. Happy as hell. I wish I could stab myself without being considered emo. ;D

No posts for a while :p I just wanna say that my previous comment about FFAF was sarcastic. Looking back on it, it doesn't look so sarcastic. Anyway, what do you people think about Sikth? I just heard one of the songs off their new album, which is coming out on 6/6/06 (becoming a bit of a clich?), and I think it sounds awesome.

Lamb of God always seem to top themselves over and over, so I am really looking forward to their new album. And I must say that the newest from Mendeed (This War Will Last Forever) is ****ing awesome. Even though this is the first time I had heard of them, I am nonetheless very impressed.

Whilst I hate pigeon-holing, calling Lamb of God nu-metal is about as far from a valid description as you can possibly get.

Sikth are awesome, can't wait to hear the album. I love the last track of their first album, it's like the most screwed up bit of poetry ever. the yeti is waiting!!! neeeeeeargg!!!!

I am *STILL* listening to In Flames - Come Clarity like 5 times a day, I just can't get enough of it. Absolutely amazing album.

Lamb of God is okay if u like Nu-Metal, listen to some Orphaned Land, Thunderstone, Firewind, Mystic Prophecy.. they will give you some hair on your chest!

Maintream metal != nu-metal. Anyways, nu-metal is nearly dead now. Except for a few straggling bands like Korn, the majority of the bands have died. The only two that seem to have prospered are Disturbed and Papa Roach, but that is also due to some change in their sound (despite being at least in part nu-metal).

Lamb of God is clearly mainstream, and is faaaaaar from nu-metal. Other bands that can be clumped with Lamb of God are Chimaira, Strapping Young Lad, and that sort of stuff. Pretty decent quality stuff, just that more people know about it.

Sure, underground metal is cool, especially when it applies the title of elitist to your name, but why be jealous of bands who actually have luck?

Elitism is just another term for saying "I like what everybody hates, and am proud of it."

    • This machine could very well be a second gaming PC for their living room as a console experience. So we would have to assume their main PC exists as well; With that said, I have 10gb home network with a 2.5gigabit internet connection here so we tend to have more than enough speed to download games. However, we can't make use of the 10gb LAN using Steam's built in transfer tool because it always compresses transfers and that slows the transfer down to well below a standard gigabit port speeds, sometimes as slow as 200-300Mb/s transfers. While that's probably still faster than most internet connections anyway, if they'd fix the LAN transfer issue it'd be upto x5 faster even on a gigabit LAN, than simply dropping a 2.5gbe port on there with hopes of a few people having fast internet connections. There are solutions, work arounds, like using LANCache if you run a NAS... or simply copying the files over manually using a network share.
    • Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI by Paul Hill Local AI models tend to run a lot more slowly than cloud services like Claude and Gemini; however, Samsung has just announced that it has developed its UFS 5.0 solution, which increases data transfer to speeds of 10.8GB/s, enabling faster storage and processing in mobile memory that has the potential to provide more optimal local AI experiences. Commenting on this development, Jangseok Choi, head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, said: If you’ve tried local AI, you’ll know it can be quite slow, especially if using the larger parameter models. By developing this new solution, Samsung says that storage is evolving from just storing data to a core piece of infrastructure that supports AI computation, too. The Korean company said that UFS 5.0 integrates the latest embedded memory interface standard from JEDEC and achieves up to 10.8 gigabytes per second (GB/s) transfer speeds. Regarding write speeds, Samsung UFS 5.0 can reach 9.5 GB/s. Both the read and write speeds are twice as fast as those of the previous UFS 4.1 standard. Aside from being ideal for local AI, Samsung’s UFS 5.0 is more power efficient by 40% compared to UFS 4.1. Samsung achieved this by implementing innovations such as clock gating and multi-voltage technologies. UFS 5.0 is also ultra-compact at just 7.5mm x 13mm x 0.9mm; that is 16.7% smaller than UFS 4.1. The company said it will be bringing it to multiple devices in the future, including mobile, wearable, and extended reality.
    • A bit like the steamdeck, this probably isn't for you.
    • Gamers Nexus already did their review, and building your own will be faster and cheaper, so not very convincing.
    • They've told outlets who got review units that it isn't. Partially because they believe that contributes to closed ecosystems. GamersNexus also believes this is because Valve's fighting a monopolistic practices lawsuit in Europe right now. They've also never subsidized any of their past hardware efforts and well, they definitely aren't subsidizing the Steam Deck right now.
