I decided to edit this with stuff I've been listening to of late.

The Sword - Warp Riders

Ridiculous solid rock and roll album with some great guitar work. This is the title track from the album

Earthless - Sonic Prayer

Gritty, dirty rock and roll. Part of 1 of the opening track

Diecast - Day of Recoking

Older album from early 2000 that got a lot of heavy play on a local metal station, WSOU for you jersey people, that some of you guys may dig. The band has since lost this singer and have gone with another guy who is more "mainstream friendly" but the drummer in the band was insane. He nearly got picked to play with Slayer when they were looking for a new drummer a while back and doing try outs.

Melvins - Houdini

Does much really need to be said about this band and the huge influence they've had on bands

LOVE The Sword and The Melvins...good call on both of those. Thanks for the intro to Diecast, digging them as well.

Ahh, Slayer. There is never a bad time for Slayer. Good Call bruNo.

A blast from the past - Fear Factory: Zero Signal from the Demanufacture album. Amazing song from an amazing album.

And another from the same album: Self Bias Resistor

If you're digging the Diecast stuff start with Day of Reckoning, their one and only album with that singer, then go into the stuff after that.

Since I'm listening to this now. Japanese Rock and Roll awesomeness that is Boris

I've never been a huge fan of not being able to understand what's being said (except for the case of Rammstein \m/) however.. I still tend to listen to that style music pending the music itself is solid. That's pretty much the only reason I listen to CoB

prolly has one of my favorite riffs.

If you like Children of Bodom then check out Dimmu Borgir & 3 Inches of Blood if you haven't yet.

Couple more for everyone.

Unearth: band from Massachusetts that have gone through some musical progressions as they released their albums. The first link is the opening track from their first full length and the second song is from their second EP (I don't know what's up with the second video, it's hard to find stuff on youtube from their earlier releases).

I'll give it a listen - thanks for the rec.

I respect them tremendously music-wise, but I have a hard time getting into his vocals...maybe I need to listen to some more of their stuff.

If you like Children of Bodom then check out Dimmu Borgir & 3 Inches of Blood if you haven't yet.

I've really gotten into Dimmu Borgir lately, I bought 'in Sorte Diaboli' and 'Abrachadabrah?' - both which I dig very much.

I know I've pumped Amon Amarth up on this thread before, but I have been really jamming them lately - on the way to work...whenever I can really -

This song gets me pumped in the mornings - something about their riffs make me want to go to battle.

And another classic of theirs:

I've also been getting into Vader a lot lately - these guys are extremely brutal. One of my favorites of theirs, Lead Us.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsoxOIUG9hE&feature=related

I have also been trying to get into Behemoth, some of their stuff is pretty good - At the Left hand Ov God:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSkiT1Ypjcs

(pretty blasphemous video, but hey, you're on the Metal Thread)

Death Cult Armageddon has been Dimmu's best release since P.E.M. Not that the other are necessarily bad, I just wasn't a hug fan of either, especially Abrahadabra. You guy should check out Dissection, they aren't symphonic but a definite must for any black metal fan.

^^ Nice submission!

Another that I've been digging lately - more low key than some of the stuff on here, but awesome none the less. Primordial - Empire Falls

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHvuXdhnieA

Also, not sure how I feel about this band, but this song is pretty good. Bagpipe(?) metal FTW. The vocals get really good towards the end of the song. (plus the bagpipe dude trips me out!)

One more...

    • 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?
