I dont remember if i've mentioned 'Silent Civilian' in this 95pg thread yet, but if you havent heard them you need to check them out. The lead vocalist is Johnny Santos from Spineshank :punk: I saw them here in Cleveland last Weds and they were fantastic!

I'm going to see Trivium tonight at the same venue... should be a great show! Trivium kinda sold out i think, but i still like them. They put on great shows and i look forward to hearing some of their older stuff. Newer stuff i dont really care about anymore.

guys what is the difference between alternative and metal, PM as an answer, not because of anything but because i cant keep track of this thread :p

You mean alternative as nu metal, which is not metal, just radio friendly crap!

Korn, slipknot, linkin park, limp bizkit, kid rock, names that spring to mind. no talent what so ever!

So what does everyone think of the new MegaDeth? I was pleasantly surprised. Can't wait to see them this fall.

You can stream the first six songs off the main site. Sleepwalker is just a good old thrashy jam and Washington/Gears shows Dave can still put some growl into it. \m/

Has anyone else heard of The Lovecrave? I heard a track on totalrock.com and litterally bought the album based on that one hearing:

http://www.myspace.com/thelovecrave

It's pretty different, especially vocally, but I'm utterly addicted. 'Can You Hear Me' makes me want to scream my lungs out (mmmm inflames).

(I'm guessing it's probably not strictly metal, but that doesn't mean you can't love it!)

Also, an acoustic live session from totalrock: http://www.totalrock.com/podcast/LoveCrave.mp3

Where can I hear this new inflames track you speak of? :D :D

**** haha I cant believe this is still going, started this ages ago with my brother haha. woo! Havent been on neowin too much lately though

ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just bought a whole bunch of instruments so probably will be uploading some of my own **** soon tell me what you think and whatnot.

Through The Eyes Of The Dead - Malice - Brilliant album! Much better produced then their last album.

Necrophagist destroys both in studio and live!!! Love it! Marco Minnemann is my new personal deity!! Animosity is pretty cool too-

New BDM track is sick, Loving the new BTBAM and new Aeon albums, and definitely the Nuclear Blast Allstars ..Dark album are kickin my ass these days.....

Bump for the Metal thread \m/

Arch Enemy - Rise Of The Tyrant - Hard to say i'm 50/50 on this one, I've listened to it twice now but still not sticking in my head. Only a few songs on the album i really like.. maybe it grow on me tongue.gif
Have you heard the same cd I have? It kicks major butt! :p

I just checked out the new Atreyu album. I gotta say it's pretty good but it's alot different than their last albums. Not too metal, alot more rock oriented. Seems as though they are taking the Trivium approach and dropping the screams for singing. If I had to say anything about this band, it would have to be that they seem to be bringing back glam metal, with their catchy riffs, and lyrics, and slamming a few solos into their songs. Not too bad of an album.

i heard two more tracks from the new BDM album and this albums is gonna kick ass. So far it's alot better than their other albums. Started listening to At The Throne Of Judgement. Pretty good deathcore outfit, similar to As blood Runs Black, but more technical riffs and solos. Worth a listen.

And I'm still lovin' BTBAM's new album.

Well, here are the four current metal bands I like in no particular order, I have linked to all their Official sites:

Nightwish:

http://www.nightwish.com/

http://myspace.com/nightwish/

Falconer:

http://www.falconermusic.com/

http://myspace.com/falconermusic/

DragonForce:

http://dragonforce.com/

http://myspace.com/dragonforce/

Power Quest:

http://www.power-quest.co.uk/

http://www.myspace.com/powerquest/

I also like a lot of the '80s metal bands as well, although it tends to surprise a lot of people that I like metal because I am a minority and people tend to think well you're this so you have to like Rap. Yes, I like rap...but only the stuff that came out of the '80s when I was a child; hell I love '80s music in general!

I've been listening to:

All Shall Perish - Price of Existence (AMAZING!)

August Burns Red - Messengers

Beneath the Sky - What Demons Do to Saints

Despised Icon - The Ills of Modern Man (AMAZING!)

Ion Dissonance - Solace/Minus the Herd

Job For A Cowboy - Doom (Didn't really like their new album)

The Showdown - Temptation Come My Way (AMAZING SOUTHER ROCK ALBUM!)

Throwdown - Venom and Tears (Not too sure about this one, trying to see if it'll grown on me. Its VERY Pantera esque, and a pretty dramatic departure from their previous releases)

metal sucks go metalcore or hardcore listen to bleeding through or minor threat or converge or man of the other good bands

Dude, you are retarded. You realize metalcore and hardcore have metal roots? By saying metal sucks, you just contradicted yourself. Why the **** would it be called metalcore? Lol, you ****ing 13 year old scene kids make me laugh. Go listen to Bullet For My Valentine and the rest of those trendy 'metalXcore' bands that are cool this week.

Na sorry but bullet for my crap emo is not even metal, EMO in my view. Hate that genre just like fake metal stuff.

Ahaha plus they did cover Metallica in kerrang!, just like lostprophets did with Davidian's Machine Head and a bunch of emo band. Pathetic.

Fake metal, 'nuff said.

    • 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).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
    • I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
