I didn't know Leach was back doing vocals for Killswitch. I haven't heard any of their newish stuff in a while though so I guess that's why.

Their new album is solid! Got tickets to see them in February, can't wait :D

First up my friends bands.

Ghosts Over Japan - Below is a song from the latest EP, you can listen to more or even even buy it for $5 over on their Bandcamp page: http://ghostsoverjapan1.bandcamp.com/


I Am Everest -  They have since broken up but you can check out the music video below and head over to Dropbox and download their two EP's for free: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/4mhvung8rq8qy81/ctW5DTxHGQ


Now onto some other great Aussie prog acts.

Circles - You can pick up their album at: http://music.basickrecords.com/album/infinitas


Twelve Foot Ninja - These guys rule at music videos! The first video gets a little extreme towards the end but has a guest cameo from Misha, Mark and Spencer of Periphery! Second video, well just enjoy those dancers ;)


Yay, Scottish metal!

 

 

Also this is more melodic/hardcore/whatever but this is kinda the alternative music thread now so... NAPOLEON! The vocalist looks kind of awkward but if you don't watch the video it's amazing!

Just found out that Benjamin Nominet, founder and vocalist of my all-time favorites Sybreed has quit. Unless a miracle happens way down the road, that effectively is also the end of Sybreed, for his unusual rhythm and odd tone of voice greatly defines(-ed?) their highly unique sound.

Next day will never come... :cry:

It is unlikely that they will continue with their vocalist out of the picture. They will however remain the pioneers of cyber metal as well as the best cyber metal band to date.

Been a Metallica fan since 1985. \m/ Recognize my avatar?

Slayer

Pantera

Black Sabbath

Deicide

Morbid Angel

Testament

Cannibal Corpse

Mercyful Fate

Acid Bath

Gojira

wow. i didnt dislike that, but it really sounds dated. it reminds me of Static X w/o the vocals from 1998. really surprising to me.

Nah, it was an April fool's joke, don't worry. It even has Drum & Bass elements haha.

 

But dated? Sounds just fine to me. Hell, even better than Static-X.

My album of the year last year was Surgical Steel by Carcass, Dream Theater's self titled was up there too.

 

I'm currently getting sucked in by the hype surrounding the upcoming Arch Enemy album "War Eternal" with their new singer and guitarist.

 

I'm also sure In Flames are in the process of recording a new album to be out later in the year... As are Machine Head!

 

Fans of more melodic metal may wish to check out my band Octanic http://www.octanic.com/, there is an embedded player you can stream our album from :)

Which are you in the band? Where was that Deadworld video shot?

 

i'll be honest - it's ok music. my jaw wasnt hitting the floor. has your band been around for a while? it seems like pretty mature music. a lot of younger bands cant form coherent music structures or melodies.

I'll take "ok" over "I hated aspect X of it" :)  Thanks for checking it out.  The video was shot in South Australia on an arid unused paddock, and in the ruins of an old homestead on adjoining land.  It was supposed to look desolate or post-apocalyptic.  I'm the guitarist on the left with the blue/silver guitar.

 

We are writing for a second album now, the music should take another step forward, hoping to tour overseas with the album.  It's an expensive hobby but quite rewarding!

^ Pretty good, The screaming I wasn't a huge fan of.. it wasn't as deep as I would of liked.. especially having the soft (good) vocals.  It was definitely good though.. would have just liked it maybe either deeper.. or less screaming.

One of my favourite bands right now, the contrast of his clean and screaming vocals... top notch vocalist!

 

 

And these guys, it's hard to listen to them without wanting to jump around and break everything around you... in a good way :P!

    • 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.
    • How do you know they aren't at least partially subsidizing it?
    • (macOS) Screen zoom was broken for me in beta 1 and it's now working properly in beta 2. In terms of performance and UI design/consistency, these betas are already much better than Tahoe.
    • Less powerful than a PS5 at twice the price! I wonder if they use that for marketing? Totally DoA.
