the most: I **** bricks when I saw the singer band.. i've heard of.

Holy ****. Did not expect that. Good submission!

I have found myself listening to a TON of Amon Amarth lately. I've even changed my Droid X's ringtone to a song from their last album. I think they have one coming out soon.

Here's my ringtone -

The new album from Mercenary is currently streamable for this week on a german metal site if anyone in this thread happens to like them.

While it's not 'bad', i'm having a hard time liking it as a mercenary album myself cause it pretty much sounds nothing at all like any previous album. In some parts of some songs i almost find myself thinking metalcore for a moment. Unless the album grows on me after more time with it, i'm thinking the big line up change(basically half the band left, including lead vocals) in 2009 just may be the worst thing to have happened to them.

Damn, I love some old school Pantera. Dimebag was the MAN.

I hope it's okay to hop in. :D Anyway, here's to all who thinks Dimebag is still kick ass at his rest.

Of course it is! And I agree 100%, Dimebag was one of the greatest metal guitarists ever. He is surely missed.

MAYHEM FEST TICKETS ORDERED!!! Can't wait! Last year was amazing, not sure this year's band lineup looks quite as good, but it should still be great.

So, for the hell of it I made a Last.fm group for us. I saw the Spotify topic, but not everyone has access to Spotify yet. I figured song tracking on Last.fm would be cool so we could see what the most popular songs are and find new songs. Feel free to join: http://last.fm/group/Neowin+Metal+Club

Animals as Leaders are amazing. I'm not sure if djent belongs here (of it they belong to djent for that matter), but still, pretty amazing:

sick post man, that's like pure technique right there, definitely hard to classify, the lack of vocals are why I wouldn't class it as extreme metal... even though the guitars are a bit deep/strong for just the generic metal... it's in the middle of metal and extreme (based on the neowin threads.. I know metal is a full genre..)

Animals as Leaders are amazing. I'm not sure if djent belongs here (of it they belong to djent for that matter), but still, pretty amazing:

i really like these guys, i prefer metal with no singing though like elctro quarterstaff, animals and leaders, behold the arctopus, textures, etc. so if anyone knows some others, post em!

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
