I love Trivium, but I feel the same way about The Crusade, it will probably fail. I hate the fact that Matt Heafy doesn't scream live now, or at least at Download he didn't.

I agree that the screaming is a much needed thing in Trivium to be honest. Or at least with the old songs. They don't sound right sung normally when they were originally screaming.

Do you know what Trivium played at Download by any chance?

I know they played Rain, Suffocating Sight, Pull Harder On The Strings Of Your Martyr, Likie Light To Flies, and Detonation (New Song). Other than that I don't know, if you go over to http://www.triviumworld.com, you can see the video of songs I know they played and they may have even added more. And let me correct myself from earlier, when I said Download, I meant Rock am Ring.

The new Bewteen the buried and me album is out tomorrow in europe The anatomy of i'm getting me a preview, I forgot about this album but they have recorded it quite quickly.

Also went out and bought As I lay dying - A long march CD, so I can complete all the CD's I own of them. Great band.

As I lay dying, are the kings of metalcore, not my favorite genre of metal but they do rock.

To be honest i don't mind them. They are the better metalcore bands out there.

I know alot of people bash metalcore but thats the emo kinds :rofl: and gay screamo.

Not the biggest fan of metalcore but i don't mind bands like Chimaira, As I Lay Dying, Unearth, God Forbid.

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.

Haven't heard the newest Grave yet but their last one was good. Soulless is an absolute must from them though.

I'm digging The Sword quite a bit right now. They really cover a lot of territory on their latest. There's some Grind, Doom, Stoner, & Thrash moments in all the songs they're quite excellent.

Also for a Power/Prog/Thrash vibe the latest Eidolon Paralell Otherworld is a must. Glenn Drover is amazing as already proved with Megadeth & King Diamond. His brother is also a great drummer and equally shines on this new one.

I know this probably isnt the right place. But tell me what you think of this metal band:

http://myspace.com/morterra

there myspace page says there meta/death metal/ and thrash

Ahaaaa Nice!

They look cool, sound cool, and one dude is wearing a bodom top! (Y)

Not really into much metal, only the odd band here and there, but I gotta agree with that.

Saw em in cardiff in march, and they were awesome - but watching that vid of them at download :no: - they just sound like a totally different band - not something I like.

While I'm here - I may aswell ask

anyone got any reccomendations for any metal bands to listen to for a newbie to metal? lol.

And I'm coming from stuff like the used now :laugh: - please don't flame me :rofl:

(the only bands you can call metal in my playlist atm are pantera, trivium and killswitch engage lol.)

thanks

Not knowing what you've already heard/been exposed to I'm at a bit of a disadvantage.

Iron Maiden - Killers, Number Of The Beast, Piece Of Mind.

Metallica - Master Of Puppets, Ride The Lightlning, Kill Em All

Testament - The Legacy, New Order, Practice What You Preach.

At The Gates - Slaughter Of The Soul

Napalm Death - Death By Manipulation, Diatribes

Also check out Opeth - Blackwater Park, Deliverance, Still Life, & Ghost Reveries.

As I lay dying, are the kings of metalcore

I disagree. I think that title goes to The Autumn Offering (If you were to consider them metalcore as a lot of people do). Personally I'd prefer Trivium with clean vocals. I like clean or like death (as in the band) not a mix of both/hardcore. Also melo-death such as Arch Enemy, In Flames, Soilwork, Amon Amarth are fine and Children of Bodom too. It just sounds like a rip off when it's like hardcore or whatever. You either gotta go full throttle or none. I do prefer clean the most though. Thrash will always be number one for me.

@ WelshBluebird

Pantera is definately metal. Bands devstorm didnt mention

Children of Bodom

Hammerfall

Forbidden

Hypocrisy

Kataklysm

Kreator

Motorhead and many more

@ devstorm

you forgot

Metallica - And justice for all

C.O.C - America's volume dealer

@ devstorm

Well actually I didn't - "Forget" them. Justice for me at least was a big letdown. And since I was suggesting Hardcore/Metal crossover - I don't think C.O.C.'s America's Volume Dealer would qualify as that. Plus I haven't heard much off that one so I can't say how good it is overall. What I heard didn't hit me right away.

I was more or less including a very generalized overview of bands & albums. As a starting point for someone new to the genre. Although not mentioning Motorhead I should be forced to turn in my Denim, Leather & Warts.

So let me do include:

Motorhead - Bomber, Ace Of Spades, No Sleep Til Hammersmith, & Orgasmatron as great "Examples" of what this band deliver on quite a few more albums that should be owned & studied like fine literature.

Anyway I think others should chime in & make suggestions cause I am in no way a metal expert, just a lifelong afficianado.

Ah man. Got a load of new stuff. Behemoth and Agalloch are ... wow.

Can anyone recomend any good festivals in europe over august, I was considering gates of metal but don't know much of the line up last time i checked and me and a mate pretty much up for anywhere, though costs an issue.

I disagree. I think that title goes to The Autumn Offering (If you were to consider them metalcore as a lot of people do).

You raise a good point there, but The Autumn Offering are not as experienced, and haven't toured as much or sold as many records compared to As I lay Dying.

As I Lay Dying are better anyway, The Autumn Offering are good but not as.

Yeah have to agree there. As I Lay Dying is the better out of too bands but The Autumn Offering still kicks out a good sound just i only like about 2-3songs from their albums as to As I Lay Dying i like 80% of the songs. :yes:

I'll have to check out The Autumn Offering. I can't stand As I Lay Dying, I think the vocalist is the absolute worst I've heard. As for C.O.C.'s American Volume Dealer, it was a pretty good album, but not as good as Wiseblood or Deliverance. C.O.C. is very good southern metal.

    • Not sure there is good value here.... the only real choice is 2GB w/ Controller since 1. 512GB would disappear fast based on today's PC game installs 2. Controller is back ordered until 2027. The appeal of playing PC games on TV (along with PS5) sounds interesting, but I am not too lazy to fire up the huge PC either. Not really sure this would be "worth" it.
    • This might work, but the boot menu F12 only shows hdd and dvd+/- and Niks In the bios all usb are enabled. the usb stick is in place and in the boot menu it does not show up in the bios boot order.
    • Because we were never offered a UFC game to review it in the past. Sometimes it's not a conspiracy, the reviewer does not even live in the U.S. and didn't ask for it.
    • Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users by Aditya Tiwari It's been a couple of weeks since Apple previewed the iOS 27 update during the WWDC official keynote. The upcoming iOS version will bring even more refinements to the Liquid Glass design language, an upgraded Siri AI assistant, and several new Apple Intelligence features. Interestingly, the latest WWDC keynote was different than previous years. Apple has released the iOS 27 beta 2 (build 24A5370h) for developers who want to test the new features being baked for the iPhone and optimize their apps. If you're interested in downloading the latest beta, go to Settings > General > Software Update > beta Updates, then choose iOS 27 Developer Beta. You can download the latest iOS 27 beta on more than 30 supported iPhones. Make sure you know what you are doing since developer betas can be unstable and unexpected at times. If you want to be on the safer side, you can wait for the public beta, which will arrive next month. It's been a while since Apple discontinued its AirPort router lineup. Now, the company said in the iOS 27 beta 2 release notes that the AirPort Utility is deprecated and won't be available for new downloads from the App Store. Apple added that if you previously downloaded the app, you can re-download it. However, the functionality isn't guaranteed when using the AirPort Utility on iOS 27 or later. Speaking of known issues, Apple said that the Portrait mode blur effect might render incorrectly for photos; you may be unable to stop an alarm from the lock screen without unlocking your iPhone; the "Add a Control" button in Control Center edit mode might appear small or clipped. There are several new features in iOS 27 beta 2 as well. It comes with Neural Engine improvements for Apple Intelligence, including better performance when loading large models over 1GB. HomeKit Secure Video recordings are processed on-device and through Private Cloud Compute for video descriptions and search, when Apple Intelligence is enabled in the Home app. That said, you can also download the second betas of macOS 27 Golden Gate, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, and other Apple operating systems.
