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.

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.

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.
    • Qualcomm takes on NVIDIA with new Dragonfly CPU and AI chips by Pradeep Viswanathan Microsoft, Google, Amazon, AMD, Meta, Apple, OpenAI, and several others have been developing their own chips for AI infrastructure. However, NVIDIA still remains the dominant player in the market. Today, Qualcomm announced a major expansion of its data center infrastructure portfolio to better compete with NVIDIA. The new lineup includes the Qualcomm Dragonfly C1000 CPU, Qualcomm High Bandwidth Compute technology, the Dragonfly AI300 inference accelerator, new connectivity products, and custom silicon solutions. Qualcomm claims that this new lineup improves performance per watt, token throughput, and total cost of ownership for AI data centers. The Dragonfly C1000 is a new data center CPU built with Qualcomm’s custom Oryon cores. This chip will feature more than 250 cores, frequencies above 5GHz, and a chiplet-based design. Qualcomm claims that this new C1000 can deliver more than 2x better performance per watt compared to existing server CPU offerings based on specifications. The Dragonfly C1000 will support PCIe Gen 7 with more than 2TB/s of connectivity, along with CXL, advanced RAS features, and both air and liquid cooling. Qualcomm expects the Dragonfly C1000 to be commercially available in 2028. Additionally, Qualcomm and Meta announced a multi-year, multi-generation agreement under which Qualcomm will supply Dragonfly C1000 data center CPUs for Meta’s next-generation server fleet. Qualcomm also announced High Bandwidth Compute, a new near-memory computing architecture designed to address AI’s memory bandwidth bottleneck. HBC Gen 1 will debut with the Dragonfly AI250, which is expected to sample in mid-2027. The AI250 will deliver 133TB/s per card, an 18x increase in effective memory bandwidth compared to the AI200 with LPDDR5X. The new Dragonfly AI300 with HBC Gen 2 is a rack-level AI inference platform from Qualcomm. Qualcomm claims that the AI300 can deliver 4x to 8x better performance per watt compared to existing GPU-based architectures based on memory bandwidth per watt per card. The Dragonfly AI300 is expected to be available in 2028.
