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:

    • I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance by Karthik Mudaliar Qualcomm is reportedly in advanced discussions to provide custom chip-design services to Chinese tech giant ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. According to a report from Reuters, Qualcomm could be involved in designing custom silicon tailored for ByteDance's massive data-center workloads. If it goes through, the deal would make ByteDance one of Qualcomm's early anchor customers for its fastly growing custom chip-design division, For years, Qualcomm was the king of making smartphone processors and modems. The company has also been moving into the PC ecosystem and other formats such as on-device AI for Android XR headsets. However, this particular deal is about Qualcomm's custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For a platform like TikTok, ByteDance needs hardware that can help it ingest, process, and serve billions of short-form videos daily. Generalised hardware is no longer the most cost-effective and efficient route, which is why ByteDance is trying to develop custom Video Processing Units (VPUs). VPUs designed specifically for ByteDance’s algorithmic needs could drastically reduce data-center power consumption and improve encoding speeds at an unprecedented scale. The underlying tech behind these processors is actually from Qualcomm's recent acquisition of AlphaWave Semi, a high-speed connectivity specialist company. By combining AlphaWave’s high-bandwidth IP with Qualcomm’s architectural expertise, the company could begin mass production by the end of 2026, if the talks go through. All this also comes at a time when U.S.-China tech relations have dwindled. Escalating trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have severely impacted the export of high-end AI chips from U.S. firms like Nvidia, AMD, and Lam Research. Yet, the Qualcomm-ByteDance discussions show that U.S. tech companies are still actively seeking growth avenues and are open to doing business with China, where regulators still permit. Reuters notes that the outcome of this deal could be uncertain, and ByteDance might also seek partners other than Qualcomm. via Reuters | Image via DepositPhotos.com
    • Look who's back!
    • I wonder how driving laws around the world will change. No way to really tell if people are using phone. Same with smart watches i guess even now and those silly built in tablets for controlling the car instead of buttons.
