: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.

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 =

    • JBL BAR 800 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar is an amazing deal today by Sayan Sen This Amazon Prime Day 2026 sales so far we have had a couple of nice deals related to sound and audio. First we have the Sennheiser HD 600 at its lowest ever price of just $225. Next we also have the Beats Studio Pro at its lowest price ever at just $150. However perhaps you prefer your gear to sound great on a larger scale, like throughout the room. In that case an all-in-one soundbar system can help and currently JBL's BAR 800 is a great deal for sure as it's up for grabs at just $600 (purchase link under the specs table down below). One thing that should be appreciated a lot about these JBL soundbars is their spec sheet and the frequency response data it provides. The firm is honest about it as JBL confirms the subwoofer is able to go down to 35 Hz at -6dB or F6. This means it should be covering 40Hz and up very well, where most of the bass lies. You miss out on a lot of sub-bass but that is to be expected given the price point and the subwoofer driver size. Speaking of which, it is a 10-inch driver and promises a max output power of 300 watts at 1% THD (total harmonic distortion). JBL also claims the system will provide you with a "True Dolby Atmos" experience. The surround speakers are wireless and battery-powered which means setting them up should be really convenient. The technical specs of the JBL BAR 800 are given in the table below: Specification Value Channel Configuration 5.1.2-channel soundbar system Dolby Atmos Yes, with 2 up-firing drivers Total System Power Output 720 W Soundbar Power Output 340 W Surround Speaker Power Output 2 × 40 W Subwoofer Power Output 300 W Soundbar Drivers 3 × 46×90 mm racetrack drivers, 3 × 20 mm tweeters, 2 × 70 mm up-firing full-range drivers Surround Speaker Drivers 1 × 46×90 mm racetrack driver (each speaker) Subwoofer Driver 10-inch (260 mm) wireless subwoofer Frequency Response 35 Hz – 20 kHz (-6 dB) Audio Inputs Optical, Bluetooth, Chromecast built-in, AirPlay, Alexa Multi-Room Music (MRM), USB* HDMI Inputs 1 HDMI video input HDMI Output 1 HDMI eARC output HDCP Version 2.3 HDR Pass-Through HDR10, Dolby Vision Bluetooth Version 5.0 Wi-Fi Version 6, 6E Streaming Services Chromecast built-in, Apple AirPlay, Alexa MRM Get it at the link below: JBL Bar 800-5.1.2-Channel Dolby Atmos soundbar with Detachable Surround Speakers (Black): $599.85 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US with Prime) Prime subscription can be cancelled within three business days.

    • Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.100.1, fixes a bug that made remapped keys misbehave by Ivan Jenic Microsoft just released PowerToys v0.100.1, a patch update that addresses several stability and behavior issues found in v0.100.0. The v0.100.0 patch was a significant update for PowerToys, as it introduced all sorts of new features and additions, such as a rebuilt Shortcut Guide, a Command Palette Extension Gallery, webcam overlay support in ZoomIt, and more. However, the v0.100.0 version also introduced some bugs and stability issues. And now, Microsoft is addressing these issues in the new patch. The most impactful fix in this release perhaps is in Keyboard Manager, where remapped modifier keys were being delivered as system-key events, causing unexpected behavior in apps. The clearest example of this was Alt-to-Backspace remaps, deleting whole words instead of a single character. So, if you thought there was an issue with your keyboard, Microsoft just confirmed that it was PowerToys. Beyond the Keyboard Manager fix, v0.100.1 also addresses several other issues. It fixes a bug with Power Display that was preventing monitors from waking from standby correctly. Additionally, the new update patches Quick Access crashes on launch, and resolves a Shortcut Guide crash that occurred when switching between sidebar sections. Here’s the full changelog: Color Picker Fixed a bug where the main Color Picker window could appear inside the zoomed-in picker view Command Palette Fixed Run history initialization in AOT builds Fixed a bug where the Performance Monitor dock item could show ??? after restart Fixed the Hibernate command using the Sleep icon Limited the "pin to dock" dialog to displays where the dock is enabled Keyboard Manager Fixed modifier keys remapped to non-modifier keys being delivered as system-key events, which caused unexpected behavior in apps such as Alt-to-Backspace deleting whole words Power Display Fixed a bug where selecting On in the monitor power-state control did not wake a monitor from standby Fixed built-in display detection and brightness control on dual-GPU laptops where the internal panel is driven by the discrete GPU PowerToys Run Fixed VS Code Workspaces discovery after VS Code moved recently opened workspace data to shared storage Quick Access Fixed Quick Access flyout crashes caused by unhandled XAML exceptions during launch or page navigation Shortcut Guide Fixed a crash when navigating between Shortcut Guide sidebar sections Fixed number-key rendering in shortcut manifests and added a Postman shortcut manifest Updated bundled shortcut manifests to use the literal number-key token so number keys render correctly across apps ZoomIt Fixed a race condition in audio initialization for ZoomIt video recording You can download PowerToys v0.100.1 from the official GitHub releases page.
