How is everyone doing? I haven't had a chance to drop into Neowin much over the past week.

Cradle of Filth are hardly death metal... And I'm pretty sure any death metal listeners wouldn't be into HIM.

Cradle of Filth used to be a black metal band, but now they're considered "extreme gothic metal" if you want to get overly technical. And I agree about the HIM comment, bleh.

What is a good metal band similiar to Children of Bodom? They rock, and I need more bands similiar to them 8)

If you like CoB you'll also like Norther. Both bands sound very, very similar.

Arch Enemy doesn't sound like CoB. Neither did At the Gates. You can't just throw out well-known Scandanavian acts to compare them. They're melo-death metal bands while CoB is power/speed with harsh vocals. If you want CoB-like sound, seriously check out Norther.

I think it's funny how many metal heads get so bothered about people mislabelling genres. The world is going to end when someone calls Slayer Death Metal, fyi. ;)

Looking forward to the new Decapitated, looking forward to seeing Nile live as well. Hopefully I get a ticket.

Anyone here listen to Opera IX?

True, I just wanted to reccomend Amon Amarth, and I don't have a ****ing clue whats labelled as what in metal... is the Black Dahlia Murder thrash? or speed? or death? . . .

Anyone here like BDM? I can't quite help thinking my current love of 'closed casket requiem' might be a little unhealthy.

Oh and how heard of are Viking Skull? I saw them live and tbh (I'm sorry) wasn't impressed, would probably need a while to get into it. That said, they put on a good show - using a grinder on their guitar at the end sending a shower of sparks each and every way.

Yes sir, great band.

I got tickets to Opeth's show in NYC next month as well as Decapitated/Nile on the 6th.

Opera IX - [The Black Opera Symphoniae Mysteriorum In Laudem Tenebrarum #06] ACT VI The Sixth Seal [7:50] :-D

I wish I could find more of their stuff.

Those are the two shows I'm trying to go to as well, hahah.

If anyone is really into Norse Mythology or Viking themes, you should check out Equilibrium's album Turis Fratyr and Falkenbach's latest release, Heralding - The Fireblade. Of course, you can always check out classics such as Ensiferum's two albums and Wintersun.

    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By ZipZapRap · Posted

      Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.

      A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.

      Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.
