:o That's great :) I've not listened to much Opeth for a while...

Been listening to loads of In Flames recently though... it really makes me want to see them in concert again.

In Flames are amazing :D Well there newer stuff anyway, I'm a sucker for melodic metal, just listen to Alias for example, pure epicness :p

Going to see them in November with KsE, how are they live?

both In Flames and KSE are amazing in concert. KSE just has fun on stage... they dont try to impress anyone.

I disagree. Their newer stuff, especially the 2008 album, is quite terrible. Their older stuff is where it's at for them.

Some good melodic death metal would be In Flames, Dark Tranquility, Soilwork, At The Gates. I've never thought of TBDM as melodic death metal though.

I've been listening to a bit of DT, Soilwork and At the Gates. good stuff, but nothing that really grips me. im tired of In Flames, tbh... all their newer stuff just blends together.

See, i never thought of In Flames as melodic death metal... melodic, yes, but death? i dont think so... as for TBDM, theyre melodic and they talk about death all the time :happy:

am i confusing the definition or something?

I love the newest album, Sense of Purpose and Come Clarity I can listen to start to finish and love every song on both, I tried listening to their older stuff but there's just not enough catchy hooks or anything you can really remember or sing too. That's just my opinion though, the older albums are too death metal for me.

Well, this sucks turns out KISS is going to be in Toronto the same time as DragonForce, however tickets go on sale this Saturday and will most likely sell out the same day and I don't have the money for tickets to see KISS, so I will have to go see DragonForce as I get money at the end of the month. :(

Any Opeth fans wanna recommend some albums for me to pick up? I have about 15 tracks that I bought, but I would like to check out some full albums. I definitely want to pick up Blackwater Park, but not sure of which other ones I should get first. Any recommendations?

I'd say

My Arms, your hearse & Still life if your picking up blackwater park.

I was thinking about My Arms, Your Hearse because I love Demon of the Fall....I'll pick up those three for now. Thanks. :beer:

Still Life is their best album, so get that for sure. My Arms, Your Hearse is great. The newest one, Watershed is awesome too. Really it doesn't matter what you get 1st, as you're sure to get all of their albums anyway :p. Seriously, every single one is a masterpiece.

That's right, but if I had to get someone into Opeth I'd probably say Deliverance. And My Arms, your Hearse for Demon of The Fall!

Thanks for the input. I plan on getting Watershed as well, heard some good things about that one.

That's right, but if I had to get someone into Opeth I'd probably say Deliverance. And My Arms, your Hearse for Demon of The Fall!

Looks like I should just go ahead and pick up them all. :p Demon of the Fall FTW for sure.

The Metal Club seems to come to the front page every few months or so, so I'm gonna try to keep it here for now...

I was listening to some Amon Amarth while I was driving tonight, and thought it might be interesting to see what everyone's favorite metal songs are? Maybe a top 3-5. I like browsing this thread to find some new bands to check out, so this may generate some interest for other bands....

Guess I'll start (hopefully I'll get some replies :p)

1. Slayer - Raining Blood

2. Amon Amarth - Death in Fire

3. Metallica - Master of Puppets

4. Pantera - Walk

5. Black Sabbath - Iron Man

I probably have left off a couple that could have made the top 5, but this is off the top of my head...

Hey folks please check this new band from our country (Dominican Republic), please leave a message if you like it or not.

The band is called Ad bestia and this is they're first single.

Enjoy it

Trying to keep this on the front page - after all, a Breaking Benjamin thread stays there...ugh.

Wanted to spread the love for CC - if anyone needs introduction...the best death metal band ever =

    • AMD releases hotfix for driver install issues on Windows 10 PCs by Taras Buria Earlier this week, AMD released an important graphics driver update. Version 26.6.2 brought AMD FSR 4.1 support to the previous-gen Radeon lineup, the RX 7000 series, giving users better upscaling tech that was previously locked to the newest GPUs. However, the driver turned out to be a little buggy, with users reporting installation issues on systems still running Windows 10. AMD quickly acknowledged the bug and today released a hotfix to resolve the problem. The AMD 26.6.3 Hotfix update is now available for download from the official website. Given that it is a hotfix release, it has only one change in its release notes: AMD announced the update on its official X account and added that a WHQL driver update with the necessary fixes would be released next week. Meanwhile, users can apply the hotfix or roll back to the previous driver using the official AMD Cleanup Utility. You can download AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.3 Hotfix Preview Driver from the official website here. It is compatible with all currently supported graphics cards and 64-bit Windows 10 and 11. Full release notes are available on the same page.
    • With Microsoft now listening to its core audience and acting upon received feedback, fans can finally expect a much better version of Windows 11 than what was available five years ago. Here is to five more years, Windows 11! I guess we all need a good laugh now and again...
    • Amazon Prime Day 2026 deal sees Samsung Odyssey 49" 240Hz QD-OLED monitor at lowest price by Sayan Sen Earlier today we covered a very good deal on JBL's BAR 800 Dolby Atmos soundbar system as the unit is available for just $600 as part of Amazon Prime Day 2026 deals. That's not all though as there are many more discounts to choose from. If you are looking for a high-end monitor, Samsung's 49 inch G9 QD-OLED gaming monitor is a solid deal too as it's currently just $855 (purchase link under the specs table down below). It is a super-ultrawide (32:9) 1440p curved gaming monitor and as such should offer a very immersive experience. The G93SC is a 49-inch QD-OLED (Quantum Dot OLED) screen and that means it should have excellent contrast as well as color reproduction. Brightness is a bit lacking though so if you are looking to set it up in a relatively bright room, you may be better off with something else. Speaking of external light and brightness, the major difference on the G93SC vs the newer G93SD is that the latter comes with Samsung's "Glare Free" technology to reduce glare while the C model packs a glossy finish. The technical specifications of the Samsung G93SC are given in the table below: Specification Value Panel Type OLED Screen Shape Curved Screen Curvature 1800R Resolution DQHD (5120 × 1440) Aspect Ratio 32:9 Brightness (Typical) 250 cd/m² Brightness (Minimum) 200 cd/m² Contrast Ratio 1,000,000:1 HDR Support VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 HDR10+ HDR10+ Gaming Response Time 0.03 ms (GTG) Refresh Rate Up to 240 Hz Viewing Angle 178° Horizontal / 178° Vertical Color Support 1 Billion Colors Color Gamut 99% DCI-P3 (CIE1976) Adaptive Sync FreeSync Premium Pro / G-SYNC Compatible DisplayPort 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 HDMI 1 × HDMI 2.1 Micro HDMI 1 × Micro HDMI 2.1 USB Hub 3 × USB 3.0 Speakers Built-in Speaker Output 5W × 2 Channels Operating Temperature 10°C – 40°C Operating Humidity 10–80% (Non-condensing) Stand Type Height Adjustable Stand (HAS) Height Adjustment 120.0 ± 5.0 mm Tilt -2° (±2°) to 15° (±2°) Wall Mount 100 × 100 mm (VESA) Included HDMI Cable HDMI-to-Micro HDMI Cable Included DisplayPort Cable Yes Get it at the link below: Samsung 49" Odyssey G93SC Series Curved Gaming Monitor, QD-OLED: $854.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US with Prime) Prime subscription can be cancelled within three business days at no cost.

    • Actually Windows 11 is the GUI from Windows 10 X slapped onto Windows 10. Hence the many performance issues and initial limitations of the UI, like all the restrictions on the task bar placement and features. You could not even right click on the Taskbar and bring up task manager when it first shipped. Windows 10X was truly a new OS from the ground up. Basically a lightweight OS that ran containers for various app types. Win32 got its own container. Performance was not good and OEM’s pushed back on it, but wanted a new OS to push Pc sales. Hence Windows 11. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_10X
    • Windows 10 was 6 years old when Microsoft revealed Windows 11. Does this mean Windows 12 is due next year?
