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.

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

(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.

  • 2 weeks later...

^^ 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

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...

    • Plans. Christ at least editorialise this tripe for what it is or put your own journalistic take on it.
    • If you have a TV in your living room, chances are you can probably just use the Steam Link app and play your huge PC in big picture mode, effectively giving you the Steam Machine experience to see if you'd actually like it. The good news is the Steam Machine can have it's drives upgraded. It has a USB-C 10Gbs port as well, so the 512GB drive could be quickly moved to an external enclosure and repurposed.
    • This machine could very well be a second gaming PC for their living room as a console experience. So we would have to assume their main PC exists as well; With that said, I have 10gb home network with a 2.5gigabit internet connection here so we tend to have more than enough speed to download games. However, we can't make use of the 10gb LAN using Steam's built in transfer tool because it always compresses transfers and that slows the transfer down to well below a standard gigabit port speeds, sometimes as slow as 200-300Mb/s transfers. While that's probably still faster than most internet connections anyway, if they'd fix the LAN transfer issue it'd be upto x5 faster even on a gigabit LAN, than simply dropping a 2.5gbe port on there with hopes of a few people having fast internet connections. There are solutions, work arounds, like using LANCache if you run a NAS... or simply copying the files over manually using a network share.
    • Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI by Paul Hill Local AI models tend to run a lot more slowly than cloud services like Claude and Gemini; however, Samsung has just announced that it has developed its UFS 5.0 solution, which increases data transfer to speeds of 10.8GB/s, enabling faster storage and processing in mobile memory that has the potential to provide more optimal local AI experiences. Commenting on this development, Jangseok Choi, head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, said: If you’ve tried local AI, you’ll know it can be quite slow, especially if using the larger parameter models. By developing this new solution, Samsung says that storage is evolving from just storing data to a core piece of infrastructure that supports AI computation, too. The Korean company said that UFS 5.0 integrates the latest embedded memory interface standard from JEDEC and achieves up to 10.8 gigabytes per second (GB/s) transfer speeds. Regarding write speeds, Samsung UFS 5.0 can reach 9.5 GB/s. Both the read and write speeds are twice as fast as those of the previous UFS 4.1 standard. Aside from being ideal for local AI, Samsung’s UFS 5.0 is more power efficient by 40% compared to UFS 4.1. Samsung achieved this by implementing innovations such as clock gating and multi-voltage technologies. UFS 5.0 is also ultra-compact at just 7.5mm x 13mm x 0.9mm; that is 16.7% smaller than UFS 4.1. The company said it will be bringing it to multiple devices in the future, including mobile, wearable, and extended reality.
