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?

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.

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

    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Because we were never offered a UFC game to review it in the past. Sometimes it's not a conspiracy, the reviewer does not even live in the U.S. and didn't ask for it.

    • Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users by Aditya Tiwari It's been a couple of weeks since Apple previewed the iOS 27 update during the WWDC official keynote. The upcoming iOS version will bring even more refinements to the Liquid Glass design language, an upgraded Siri AI assistant, and several new Apple Intelligence features. Interestingly, the latest WWDC keynote was different than previous years. Apple has released the iOS 27 beta 2 (build 24A5370h) for developers who want to test the new features being baked for the iPhone and optimize their apps. If you're interested in downloading the latest beta, go to Settings > General > Software Update > beta Updates, then choose iOS 27 Developer Beta. You can download the latest iOS 27 beta on more than 30 supported iPhones. Make sure you know what you are doing since developer betas can be unstable and unexpected at times. If you want to be on the safer side, you can wait for the public beta, which will arrive next month. It's been a while since Apple discontinued its AirPort router lineup. Now, the company said in the iOS 27 beta 2 release notes that the AirPort Utility is deprecated and won't be available for new downloads from the App Store. Apple added that if you previously downloaded the app, you can re-download it. However, the functionality isn't guaranteed when using the AirPort Utility on iOS 27 or later. Speaking of known issues, Apple said that the Portrait mode blur effect might render incorrectly for photos; you may be unable to stop an alarm from the lock screen without unlocking your iPhone; the "Add a Control" button in Control Center edit mode might appear small or clipped. There are several new features in iOS 27 beta 2 as well. It comes with Neural Engine improvements for Apple Intelligence, including better performance when loading large models over 1GB. HomeKit Secure Video recordings are processed on-device and through Private Cloud Compute for video descriptions and search, when Apple Intelligence is enabled in the Home app. That said, you can also download the second betas of macOS 27 Golden Gate, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, and other Apple operating systems.
    • AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards

      By RejZoR · Posted

      FSR 4.1 is insanely superior to FSR 3. Like, FSR 4.1 Performance looks better than FSR 3.1 Quality. It's great they are finally enabling it for RX 7000 users. A bit late, but I guess better late than never.
