it just seems like the genre is being obscured these days by newer emo and metalcore bands.  people who don't really know how bands are categorized tend to quickly mislabel bands.  i've heard someone call the agony scene death metal when - IMO - they tend to be more punk than anything except for the vocal style.

You are very correct! There is a lot of that going around!

Still if you want good Old School Death by a newer band

I suggest looking at Bloodbath!

It's comprised of artists from different bands!

The first CD featured the vocals of Mikael ?kerfelt from Opeth!

The second CD featured the vocals of Peter T?gtgren from Hypocrisy!

And I promise you that Exmortem is Death as well!

Two of my favourite metal bands are Opeth and Dark Tranquillity. I don't listen to much metal, but I do have a nice collection of metal bands on my computer. I'm normally into the progressive sub-genre of metal. Anything in the range of Opeth and Symphony X really gets me going haha.

Dark Tranquillity is a pretty good band. They're not my favorite, but whenever they put an album out I try to give at least a few tracks an honest listen.

And there is still plenty of good death metal out there, you just have to look. It also depends on what you're looking for. Are you a melo-death fan looking for an At the Gates type sound, or are you looking for more brutal, crushing death metal like Nile? Death metal is really an overused term used by your friend who doesn't listen to metal whenever you tell him about a band he's never heard of. There is so much under that one sub-genre that it can be a bit much I find.

Serenity in Fire and Shadows & Dust are good albums. I find their early stuff to be awful.

I might hit up one of those shows. I don't much care for Trivium though.

You don't know Amon Amarth? Heretic!:wacko:o:

:woot:  Woah, sweet. Explain all those pedals.

from left to right:

boss TU-2 chromatic tuner (white)

danelectro coolcat (chorus) (dunno)

boss DD-6 digital delay (white)

ibanez tube screamer (light green)

boss DS-1 distortion (orange)

boss MT-2 metal zone (black)

boss PH-3 phase shifter (green)

dunlop 535Q wah

digitech whammy (very nice!)

only the amp is new, the pedals i've had for a while.

the head of the amp lists for $1499 and guitar center lists it for $1199 and their competitor sam ash lists at nearly the same price. i initially wanted to buy the 2x12 combo but the one store that carries this model amp only had the head and they were selling it for (they two heads in stock) $839 and $819. the second was cheaper cuz the guy said out of the box it had some scratches and dents but i've yet to find them. i bought the cabinet and all together it totaled right at about what the combo would have cost. sweet deal! i'm stoked!

    • I don’t get why if I bought the game on the last get I needed to pay $40 to upgrade to the new version in the first place and people who love the game and play a lot would have upgraded already so this is just PR and a chance to grab new players who forgot the game long time ago I think
    • The term "use" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline. "Use" can mean opening ChatGPT occasionally to ask for the definition of a word or information about a specific topic. If you frame the question around how many people use it as a daily driver in their work or personal lives, that number is a lot smaller. Those are the people who pay for AI. Nearly everyone else is happy to use it for free, but doesn't see enough value in it to pay for it.
    • No support for Windows Hello!
    • I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
