Hey firey, what do you think about the new Chimaira album? They're my fav band, but this new album suck!

wtf is wrong with me?! I didn't even know they had a new album and they are my favorite band too! It's been far too long since I've been to this thread. I need my metal fix! I see it's on Spotify though, so I'm gonna check it out right now.

unfortunately there's only about 2 good songs on the album... 2 that really sound like Chimaira. what's happened to them w/ the last 2 albums?

So... listened to the album? What are your thoughts?

I'm really disappointed, well I'm gonna repeat what I said a few posts back, Chimaira is not the same without Andy, Jim and Chris.

Last Trivium's album is amazing.

im liking the new trivium album more and more w/ each listen, but it's just not as good or epic as Shogun. i really love their epic songs. this new album sounds like a cross b/w "Ember to Inferno" and "The Crusade"

oh, and between their last two albums, they recorded "shattering the skies above." that song is insane. truly epic. one of my favorite Trivium songs.

I used to listen to Trivium when I was younger... I guess his voice annoys me a little bit lol. Gonna search for this song, thanks for sharing, man. :)

A couple of my friends kept going on about Rise To Remain so I gave them a listen and was quite impressed, they sound pretty similar to All That Remains :)

Not too shabby.

Few bands.. Couple are a little older, but still good bands

Arkaea are really good, wasn't sure at first but after a minute or so I got really into it :D

I heard this band a year or so ago and loved them and then completely forgot they existed until about half an hour ago, hoping they tour the UK at some point would love to see them live :D

seems like this band is young, but has promise - the lead vocalist has a great screaming voice and decent singing voice. when he's singing in his upper register, it becomes a bit too whiny/emo for me. anyone know what im talking about? As I Lay Dying does this... sings really high but it just sounds so whiny... makes my skin crawl.

WOW! i was not expecting those Son-of-Satan vocals to turn into that majestic singing! :laugh:

unreal. that was really good.

and that drummer looks like he's about 15-20yrs younger than the rest of the band :rofl:

I know exactly what you mean it really bugs me too! He's the son of Bruce Dickinson, the vocalist of Iron Maiden, so they have been getting a lot of attention from early on. Looking forward to hearing more from them as they mature :)

He's one of my favourite vocalists just for that shock factor :p Hopefully they will have some new material soon :)

Yeah he looks really out of place but hes a pretty good drummer, if he grew a beard he would look a little better :rofl:

Great recs bruNo and firey - digging all of those. Been away for a bit, got a ton to catch up on ;)

For me - I've been listening to a ton of Amon Amarth (shocker), the new Opeth, and some others scattered in there as well. I've really started to enjoy some old-school Death.

I have to agree. New album does nothing for me. I want to say the new members had too much of an impact on the sound but they weren't involved in writing it and Chimaira keep changing anyway (as already stated). The last two were the best though.
Last Trivium's album is amazing.
I must be the only guy in the world to only like The Ascendency. The first track off this new album was catchy but so ****ing repetitive. The rest of the album was just blah like the rest of their cds.
Anyone here listened to the new Machine Head album yet? Good stuff overall, and an epic Rush cover in the bonus tracks.
Not a fan but the Rush cover has me curious. What song?

Yeah man, long time no see. Anyways, welcome back!

New Machine Head album is sick, great songs.

Haven't listened to the whole Machine Head album yet, just pulled it up to hear the Rush cover which, I must say, was awful. Hopefully their own stuff is better. Maybe I'm picky because I've grown up listening to Rush all my life since it's my father's favorite band, but the Machine Head cover version was slow, boring, and without any life to it.

Yeah man, long time no see. Anyways, welcome back!

Thanks man! Been spending time trying to learn Linux administration for work, so haven't had much time on the forums. Good to be back!

Glad to see you're still keeping it brutal.

And now.. one of my favorite metal videos

    • 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.
    • A bit like the steamdeck, this probably isn't for you.
    • Gamers Nexus already did their review, and building your own will be faster and cheaper, so not very convincing.
    • They've told outlets who got review units that it isn't. Partially because they believe that contributes to closed ecosystems. GamersNexus also believes this is because Valve's fighting a monopolistic practices lawsuit in Europe right now. They've also never subsidized any of their past hardware efforts and well, they definitely aren't subsidizing the Steam Deck right now.
