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."

    • Apple Watch Series 11 GPS just crashed to 30% off in this fast-moving Prime Day deal by Karthik Mudaliar The Apple Watch Series 11 is available for $279, down from its $399 list price, saving buyers $120, or 30%. Amazon labels the offer as selling fast, so the current price may not remain available for long. This GPS model features a 42mm aluminum case, an Always-On Retina LTPO3 OLED display capable of reaching up to 2,000 nits, and an Ion-X glass surface with improved scratch resistance. Apple rates Series 11 for up to 24 hours of normal use or up to 38 hours in Low Power Mode, with fast charging providing up to eight hours of use from a 15-minute charge. Health and fitness tools include sleep scoring, temperature sensing, ECG support, heart-rate alerts, workout tracking, sleep apnea notifications, and hypertension notifications, where available. The watch also carries IP6X dust resistance and 50-meter water resistance. This configuration is best suited to iPhone owners who want comprehensive health tracking, notifications, contactless payments, and workout data without stepping up to a larger or cellular-equipped model. The smaller case should also appeal to buyers who prefer a lighter watch, while the S/M band fits wrists measuring 130mm to 180mm. With the current generation now significantly below its usual retail price, this is a strong time to replace an aging Apple Watch or buy a first model without compromising on Apple’s newest health and display features. Grab the discounted Apple Watch Series 11 (sold and shipped by Amazon) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • GitHub removes manual model selection from Copilot free and student plans by Karthik Mudaliar GitHub is removing the ability to manually select an AI model from its Copilot Free and Student plans, making its automatic routing system the default and only way to choose a model. This means users on these tiers will no longer be able to deliberately select a particular OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Microsoft model for a task. In its announcement, GitHub said Copilot Auto will dynamically choose what it considers the best model for each request. Free and Student accounts will retain access to models from multiple families, although the available selection will continue to depend on the restrictions attached to each plan. GitHub did not identify a fixed pool of models that Auto will always use, and its documentation warns that model availability can change over time. GitHub describes Auto as more than a random fallback system. On supported surfaces, its task-optimization technology evaluates the complexity of a request alongside real-time information about model health and availability. Straightforward prompts can be routed to faster and less expensive models, while more demanding coding tasks may be sent to higher-cost reasoning models. The company says this approach should reduce rate limiting, latency, and failed requests. Auto generally selects one model along natural prompt-caching boundaries rather than repeatedly switching models during a session, as GitHub found that mid-session changes increased costs without producing sufficient improvements in output quality. Users can still check which model generated a response. In Copilot Chat, the information appears when hovering over an answer, while Copilot CLI and the Copilot cloud agent display the selected model alongside their output. Auto is available in Copilot Chat, Copilot CLI, and the cloud agent, with the exact implementation and release status varying between supported development environments. The latest restriction follows several months of adjustments to Copilot’s individual plans. GitHub temporarily halted new Pro, Pro+, and Student subscriptions in April as it sought to manage demand and service reliability. It later introduced token-based billing and began gradually reopening individual-plan registrations on June 17. Alongside the picker change, GitHub is retiring the “Preview” label from Microsoft-developed models. It argues that the label is no longer necessary because Auto handles model routing and models are continuously updated behind the scenes.
