so i got a reply from my coworker regarding a new Mushroomhead album.

"No, they might have one by late 2009 or 2010. Jeff is releasing a solo album and some of the guys are releasing some side project records. But the Volume 2 DVD will be out soon"

So hopelly 2008 will be a kick ass year for music :D

New Necrophagist, Children of Bodom, and Hate Eternal coming out this year. I've heard that Opeth's new album has been mixed and completed, hopefully it'll come out sometime this year. There's also a new Metallica album coming out, but after hearing St. Anger I'm still pretty skeptical.

Yay @ side projects.

I should probably look into this.

Too bad they're not planning on releasing anything this year.

Get thee to the Alestorm website and find out. :laugh:

Seems the website now resolves to the myspace.

lmaoi some of those songs are actually pretty kickass in a ridiculously stupid pirate sort of way.

Anyone want to recommend some metal for me? I haven't gotten any new metal in a while. I tend to like alot of 80's metal and some thrash like Skid Row (Slave to the grind not the first one so much :), Anthrax, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Judas Priest, Sebastian Bach, Motley Crue, Dragonforce.

I dunno how many here like bands with female vocalists but i must say the recent album by Amberian Dawn is pretty good stuff in my opinion.

I'm into female-fronted bands. Nightwish, Within Temptation, Evanescence, Flyleaf, The Birthday Massacre, Lacuna Coil, Garbage, Freezepop (not rock, but it counts! :D ). There aren't that many popular bands around, and it's such a shame, as there are a lot of talented ones.

Anyone heard the new bloodbath EP? It's pretty good, can't wait for the new Bloodbath and Opeth albums. Judging by the bootleg of Opeth's Heir Apparent the new album is gonna be amazing. New CoB was a disappointment, although I wasnt expecting much Are You Dead Yet? wasn't very good either.

ViperAFK, I'd reccommend Dream Theater and Symphony X, neither are thrash but if you like dragonforce then you should like them.

Well then, if you do like stuff like nightwish and such then take a look here for some of the band that i mention:

Check out Ayreon, namely The Human Equation and 01011001. Two of the greatest albums ever made, alot of female vocals, both albums are pure genius.

Thanks, guys. I'll check them out later. I heard a couple of Amberian Dawn tracks on their site, and they sound pretty good. I'm also trying to get into After Forever. One of my friends has been into them for years, and he keeps trying to get me into them, so I'm gonna give them a go. "Energize Me" sounds like a good track (heard a 30 second preview on Last.fm).

    • Xbox Insiders get Xbox 360 achievements and Gamertag character upgrades by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft is continuing its fast-paced update schedule for Xbox Insiders. Today, the company announced a new slate of features it is rolling out to Xbox Insiders in the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring, which includes an expansion to the gamertag system, Xbox 360 achievements, and more. The unique Gamertag that Xbox users can choose for their profile is getting more characters. Instead of the 12-character limit, Insiders will now be able to get a Gamertag that's 15 characters long. The 12-character limit will still apply to Gamertags that are not unique or contain any non-Latin characters. Meanwhile, Microsoft is adding Xbox 360 game support to its Game Hubs. Selecting an installed Xbox 360 game on a modern Xbox console will now show achievement progress, captures, and other information. Achievement pop-ups are back for these classics too, which should be good news for achievement hunters. The next change is for Xbox players who can't wait to jump into their games when an update is required. "If a game requires an update and is available to stream through your Game Pass membership, you can start playing immediately with cloud gaming while the update downloads in the background," explains Microsoft. The final change of this Insider update is once again to the game cards. Insiders will find that all games, both released and upcoming, will now have a simple button to add to their profile's wishlist, making the process much easier from a single place. This Xbox update is rolling out today to Insiders in the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring. As usual, Microsoft aims to bring it to more Insiders over time before they reach all Xbox owners. Head here to find out how to join the Xbox Insider Program to get a chance to test these features and upcoming ones on both consoles and PC.
