I've gotten into some local metal bands these days, I've found some really awesome ones that I think are going to go far (at least as far as metal can go)

Edit: And if you're going to call Lamb of God nu-metal, then you better not disagree that In Flames are too.

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!
Left out a period.

Lots of new stuff out recently :p New Sikth is alright, but I find a lot of the vocals quite annoying. Trivium played one of their new songs live for the first time and that rocks. The beginning sounds a bit messy but the second half is awesome. Hopefully it'll sound better on the album.

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.

Sikth are amazing. Their new album isn't a scratch on their old one sadly.

Listen to Scent of the Obscene and Wait for something wild, and you'll see what I mean. (if you havent already).

I've been listening to the newest album from Dissection, and I am very impressed. The said part is that I had never given the band a listen to before I heard this album. But I will definitely listen to their older material now.

Another band I started listening to has been Protest The Hero. Even though the guy sings very high, I've found that their all over riffage is reminiscent of Between The Buried And Me or Into The Moat and is very good, at least their latest release, Kezia. Speaking of Between The Buried And Me, I heard The Anatomy Of, their nothing but covers album, and was very dissapointed. The only thing I found that made the covers their own were the down tuning of guitars and blast beats here and there. Other than that I was not pleased.

i saw protest the hero live in calgary in april along with a wilhelm scream. i've been into a few great metal albums lately, pelican - pelican ep (if you're into that instrumental "stoner metal" sound), a javalin reign - wrath of the rice cooker (vancouver metalcore trio, amazing and brutal), eighteen visions - vanity (their only album that really appeals to me, damn great though), and last but not least grade - head first straight to hell (not really metal, more of a screamy voice, but heavy none the less... ).

I highly reccomend Dissection's Storm of the Lights Bane. I haven't heard the newest release yet but Storm has amazing sound as well as amazing songs. It kind of reminds me of Metallica s Ride the Lightning as far as the production & guitar tones go. But a million times more vicious. This was the first "black metal" band I ever really got into. Also worth looking into is the band Soul Reaper. Made up of ex Dissection players.

man, i love those guys. they're perfect. :D

and Psycroptic. another perfect band. everyone should check those guys out if you haven't already. AWESOME technical death. their album 'scepter of the ancients' is a freakin classic, i say. so sexy.

and of course their newest is great, too!

I listened to part of the new All That Remains, and it is pretty damn good. gotta listen to it more to come up with a better decision but so far it's good. I've also been listening to the Nodes Of Ranvier. Very good Christian Metal, and the guy's voice is soooo brutal.

Anyone else excited for the new All That Remains album???? it's [going to be] so awesome :punk:

The album is brilliant, not as good as some stuff i've been listening to recently like, Job for a cowboy or grave also the new Deadsoil album is good as well.

Heard the new Trivium song, it's rubbish, I really think The crusade will flop to be honest don't know if anyone can agree with me, but their 30 minutes of fame will fall really quickly if this album doesn't sell as much as acendancy did, and it won't I know it won't. I think they we're pushed too hard for their third release.

New lamb of god album Sacrament should be good stuff it's been two years. But what i'm really looking forward to is the new as yet untitled haunted album coming october/december time.

Never liked Trivium to be honest. Always came off as a copy cat band. And the fans.... :wacko: think the band is no1 ;) and the singer just fakes it. :rofl:

    • OpenAI and Broadcom unveil Jalapeño, a new AI chip built for LLM inference by Pradeep Viswanathan Image by OpenAI Thanks to the exponential growth of ChatGPT and other LLM-based applications, NVIDIA has grown from a $200 billion company into the first public company to reach a $5 trillion market cap. Even though hyperscalers such as Google and Amazon have their own mature AI accelerators, NVIDIA still dominates the AI infrastructure market with multiple generations of GPUs. Microsoft, OpenAI, and Meta remain among NVIDIA’s largest customers, while Google and Amazon continue to be significant NVIDIA customers as they serve AI workloads for customers on their cloud platforms. Today, OpenAI and Broadcom announced Jalapeño, OpenAI’s first custom “Intelligence Processor” designed specifically for large language model inference. The new chip is the first product from a multi-generation compute platform being developed by OpenAI. OpenAI highlighted that Jalapeño was built from the ground up for current and future LLM workloads, rather than being a general-purpose accelerator adapted for AI. Despite heavy competition from Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and others, ChatGPT remains the most used AI platform in the world. OpenAI mentioned that it leveraged its knowledge of how its models and products run at scale, including ChatGPT, Codex, the API, and future agentic AI systems, to design this new chipset. Its chip architecture reduces data movement while balancing compute, memory, and networking resources. Jalapeño will be deployed in production systems starting in late 2026; however, engineering samples are already running machine learning workloads in OpenAI’s labs at production target frequency and power. According to its internal testing, OpenAI claims this chip can deliver “substantially better” performance per watt, and a detailed technical report is expected in the coming months. While OpenAI designed the chip, Broadcom handled silicon implementation and networking technologies, including Tomahawk networking silicon, and Celestica is assisting with board, rack, and system-level integration. OpenAI pointed out that Jalapeño went from initial design to manufacturing tape-out in just nine months, which it claims is the fastest ASIC development cycle achieved for a high-performance advanced semiconductor. The company attributed the speed of development to its own LLMs, which were used during the chip design and optimization process. Broadcom CEO Hock Tan stated that the company's plan is to deploy the Jalapeño platform at a gigawatt scale with Microsoft and other partners starting in 2026. With Jalapeño, OpenAI joins Google, Microsoft, and Amazon to become a full-stack AI player. The company already develops models and products, and is now moving deeper into infrastructure, including chips, kernels, networking, scheduling, and deployment systems.
