The Haunted's new album is the first I've ever heard by them and I am very impressed. I've listened to it about three times through now. 2006 has been a great year for metal albums, it seems like each month has had a great release, I've yet to be disappointed. But I feel it coming when the new Trivium album comes out, going from what I've heard so far, Detonation and Anthem (We Are The Fire). Really bad songs, especially Anthem (We Are The Fire).

So many good albums this year!

Lamb of god, Slayer, Maiden, In Flames, SiKth. New Motorhead wooooot!

Thanks for the news of a new BLS Album Orange dude.

No problem :cool:

Lamb Of God went to 6th spot on billboard. People are starting to buy metal albums again :D

Trivium - Metallica cover band :p I know it's said so many times but they are. :whistle: Never liked them :sleep:

Some of the new Trivium songs are really poor. They are horrible. There is only enough room in the world for one Metallica.

The Metallica comparisons are getting old. In my opinion, the new Trivium songs are nothing like Metallica. And what exactly makes their new songs horrible?

I'd suggest you check out The Haunted 2nd & 3rd CD's Haunted Made Me Do It, & One Kill Wonder.

Those two are my personal favz.

Of the songs they released on their Myspace, Entrance of the Conflagration is the only one I've actually like so far. IMO, this album won't hold a flame to their last one. They built this album up too much and it seems like they are just gonna dissappoint a lot of fans.

Anyways, I checked out Anata, and they are pretty damn good. I started listening to The Black Dahlia Murder (a lot), and also Misericordiam. While some of their song titles seem untasteful I've yet to find a song I didn't like. Gonna relisten to Deicide and see if my ears have opened up more to them. Other than that this week has been a great one for me and music. Nothing but good tunes seem to be coming my way.

I still can't get into Opeth, maybe i'm just not into progressive music :p

I like them for the most part. My favorite is still My Arms Your Hearse. Which is the least like any of their others. Much more Black Metal influence. I doubt they'll ever come close to that album again. But I always tell people to start with that one.

I have the same problem with Opeth. I mainy don't like the guys voice, other than that their music is pretty good. Going to see All That Remains tonight, than As Blood Runs Black on Friday, and finally Lamb Of God on Monday.

Jealous. :pinch:

Last week I got the new I Killed The Prom Queen album Music for the Recently Deceased and it is sweeeeet. For those who don't know IKTPQ, they are a band from Adelaide, Australia. Some people would call their music metal some whould call it metalcore and others would say they are a hardcore band, me personally think that they are a metal band with hardcore roots/background. Their third studio album Music for the Recently Deceased was just realiased in Aust and should be out in other countries soon. So check them out on MySpace and their offical website if you wanna here some good Australian metal.

Also has anyone heard the new Hatebreed album?

Theyre coming to my small town Whyalla in october i belive just after my birthday, theyre pretty awesome with the new singer

I just got back from the Lamb Of God show with Opeth and Sanctity. Absolutely amazing. You can check out my blog about it here Last.fm Journal

Nice sounds like you had a great time, can't wait to see LOG in november :D

Intronaut are pretty cool, I like them, their debut album has not long come out hasn't it?

I believe it is out now. It's very good.

Yeah it's kinda weird for me listening to Opeth. It's like all drama and no action. Stoner metal.

Check out Opeth's My Arms Your Hearse. Not like that at all.

Opeth is stoner metal? I had a hunch they were say progressive melodic death :)...

what has happened to this world :p

Metalcore is whats happened :rolleyes:

    • SpaceX reportedly plans a Starlink mobile service for U.S. consumers by Karthik Mudaliar SpaceX reportedly wants to sell mobile phone plans directly to consumers in the United States as part of a wider expansion of Starlink. According to a report from the Financial Times, SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell discussed the plan with investors during the company’s recent IPO roadshow. The company is also said to be considering building a terrestrial mobile network to complement Starlink’s satellite coverage. The plan is quite different from how Starlink currently operates in the U.S. mobile market. SpaceX already provides satellite connectivity for T-Mobile’s T-Satellite service, but T-Mobile remains responsible for the subscription, billing, and customer support. A Starlink-branded mobile service would give SpaceX control of the customer relationship instead. It could also turn the company from a partner of traditional mobile operators into a direct competitor. T-Mobile also began testing its Starlink-powered satellite service in early 2025. The beta was initially limited to text messaging and was also available to some AT&T and Verizon customers. The service has since expanded to support limited data access through selected apps, including WhatsApp, Google Maps, AccuWeather, and AllTrails. It is designed to provide a connection in areas where normal cell towers are unavailable, rather than replace a conventional mobile network. However, if SpaceX actually has a plan to serve nationwide, it needs to do more than just satellite networks and actually support on-ground operations. It can also partner up with existing carriers and become a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO). With that said, SpaceX has already spent heavily to support its mobile ambitions. Just last year, the company agreed to acquire wireless spectrum licences from EchoStar in deals worth a combined $19.6 billion. EchoStar's spectrum includes AWS-4, H-Block, and AWS-3 frequencies that could be used for both satellite and terrestrial communications. According to a SpaceX securities filing, the Federal Communications Commission approved the transaction in May 2026, although it is not expected to close until late 2027. There's no official statement by SpaceX for now. Pricing, availability, and other details remain unknown. Source: Financial Times
    • We had no idea as kids how much time and energy it took to be an adult 😅
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
