Definitely! Although that didn't work out... definitely a bit of a drive... I'm going to see a local band tomorrow (a local band with GREAT potential, btw, you guys should check them out: http://www.myspace.com/traumaslavemusic -- listen to Tear It Out and see what you think) instead.

Clutch, now I haven't listened to them in a while. I should do that...

Not bad - although the vocals are different...

To get a good taste of Clutch try 'Regulator' from Blast Tyrant:

and Sink Em Low from Pure Rock Fury :

Also, Elephant Riders is probably their best 'known' song; and the most recent is '50000 unstoppable watts'.

For those who aren't afraid to get their faces melted.

I like this - it seems as there is some Slayer/Kreator influence in these guys.

Sounds like some good thrash. Thanks for posting.

To add to the 'thrash' theme -

Meshuggah - Neurotica

Heh, interesting to read about the general perception of metal.

Considering there are so many Americans around, you should also dig a bit in your own scene. There are actually a few decent things coming from there. :-)

Check out 'Dead as dreams' by Weakling, for example. Loss has a great demo and some good splits. Anything by Asunder is worth its own ceremony. The last Xasthur release is quite good considering the crap Malefic has shat out during the years.

Canada is a country with much more and better stuff, though. Woods of Ypres, Miserere Luminis, Gris.....

Well, I could go on for a decade, and then another century about European and Aussie stuff.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I'll definitely check out the bands you listed.

Considering American bands, I'm really starting to dig Mastodon, although the genre they fit in is still undetermined in my book. :) I still check Clutch out whenever they come anywhere close to where I live (although I'm not sure they are metal technically), and I've already seen them 15+ times. I'm looking forward to seeing Black Dahlia and maybe Cannibal Corpse when they come around (even though CC came to my hometown a few months ago but I was out of town on business), but the majority of my favorite bands still come from overseas.

The day I can see CC, Opeth and Amon Amarth in the same day will be the greatest day ever.

Wow, I didn't realize that Neowin had a metal thread. I'm a big death metal/grindcore fan. I'd love to hear some suggestions. I sometimes delve into death core or whatever. I don't care about sub-genres as long as it's good music. If I listen to an album and I don't feel like my teeth have been kicked in, I throw it away immediately.

Any Soilwork fans? The new album just came out Tuesday and I gave it a couple spins. I definitely like it as far as the newer albums are concerned. I plan on seeing them again when they roll through on their headlining tour.

Yeah, the Metal thread has been going strong for a few years, but keeps getting buried behind emo and crap. ;)

I look at albums the same way - have you dove into the world of Cannibal Corpse yet? Their stuff lately has been amazing (as far as Death is concerned.) I know there is a huge debate among Death fans about Chris Barnes CC and George 'Corpsegrinder' Fisher CC, but I can only listen to George. His voice is absolutely the best DM has to offer.

As far as Grindcore, I've been listening to ALOT of Meshuggah lately (I believe they fit in this genre), and with every song, I'm more impressed. Their latest, obZen, is jaw-dropping. Jens Kidman has one of the best voices for Thrash/GC. I could listen to obZen/Bleed all day long.

Was given a link earlier to watch/download a video of a 1989 BBC Arena documentary. Footage includes Metallica, Iron Maiden, Slayer, Megadeth, Black Sabbath, Napalm Death and more. Some footage from Donington 1988 as well.

Takes me back to my youth.

Anyone been to the Mayhem Festival this year, or plan on going? I'll be at the Raleigh, NC show today. Should be incredible. Can't wait to see Lamb of God, Chimaira, and Shadows Fall. Rob Zombie will be cool too. Korn, not so much metal comparatively, but I still like them as well, so they'll be cool to see. Plus Atreyu and Hatebreed. Haven't listened to Norma Jean, 3 Inches of Blood, In This Moment, or Winds of Plague as much, so I guess I'll hear more from them today. I can't wait to get out there. It's going to be a hell of a show, and for $10 for a ticket, how the hell could you not go?! Best value EVER.

I only want to see a few bands off this tour. I'm actually going to go see LoG at Myrtle Beach next Monday as they are doing a headline show off date. I want to see a full set from them as I haven't had a chance to see them yet.

Yeah, I think they are the band I'm most interested in, or Chimaira. I'm sure they won't be FULL sets, but they should be pretty decent sets. The show starts at 1 pm or so on 3 stages, 4 bands per stage I think, and running all day long, so they should all get some decent time I think. I'll let you know after!

Edit: Oh, it looks like maybe only an hour a piece on the main stage. Not too bad, but could be better.

    • This is a none story - these low volume Chinese models will always get new experimental features first because Apple and Samsung can't produce them in huge volume to meet demand.
    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for Dark Scrolls, Empulse, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The final update of June for Nvidia's cloud gaming service GeForce NOW is now available, and it is touting support for six more games. The company is also drawing subscriber attention towards the summer sales kicking off across stores, so they can stock up on more cloud-supported titles. Of course, the Steam Summer Sale is the biggest promotion, which is kicking off later today. "Supported Steam games can be streamed across devices with GeForce NOW, making it easy to buy a game once, keep progress synced and pick up where the gameplay left off on PCs, Macs, handheld devices, phones, TVs and more," says the company. "In other words, the Steam Summer Sale brings the deals; GeForce NOW adds the flexibility." Don't forget that the GeForce NOW summer sale is still active as well. This limited-time offer drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. At the same time, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping the price by $70 from the original $199.99. Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Dark Scrolls (New release on Steam, available June 22) SAND: Raiders of Sophie (New release on Steam, available June 22) Deer & Boy (New release on Steam, available June 23) EMPULSE (New release on Steam, available June 24) The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales (Steam) FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves (Steam) With the June expansions coming to an end, Nvidia should be announcing its July GeForce NOW plans next week. Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month.
