: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?

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 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.

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...

    • Notion is shutting down its email client one year after launch

    • Notion is shutting down its email client one year after launch

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Notion is shutting down its email client one year after launch by David Uzondu In April 2025, Notion launched Notion Mail, an AI-powered email client that acted as a customizable overlay for your existing accounts. Instead of replacing Gmail entirely, it reimagined how users interacted with their inboxes by offering features like intelligent auto-labeling alongside automated calendar scheduling. Now, a little over a year later, Notion has announced that it is shutting it all down on September 22. Since Notion Mail is a frontend client, most of your Gmail data will remain safe inside your Google account, but the company said that you must export stuff specific to Notion Mail, like snippets, custom auto-label instructions, email drafts, and scheduled drafts, before the deadline. Starting today, June 25, you can export that data directly from the app or the web interface, and this grace period will last all the way until September 21. Once September 22 arrives, Notion will permanently delete all unsaved local assets, including files you attached to snippets. Your existing database syncs and mail blocks will persist, though they will stop receiving new messages after the shutdown. Notion advises that if you or your company operate within a regulated environment, you must transition off earlier than the general shutdown date to maintain compliance. Companies that rely on HIPAA coverage face an even tighter timeline and must transition away from the platform by June 30th. Notion, in its X announcement post, basically said that it doesn't see the point of maintaining a standalone email client, especially when users have shifted their habits toward automation. The platform pointed to its Notion agents, which it claims "more than half of Notion Mail users" already employ to manage emails without ever opening an actual inbox, so it is "going all in" on using these agents to run your inbox. Notion introduced Notion Agents last September at the "Make With Notion" conference, giving users AI-powered digital assistants that can do stuff like run in the background on specific schedules (e.g., summarizing your daily open tasks every morning at 8 AM).
