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:

    • 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.

    • 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.
