Great to see tours are well and truly a thing again. There were a bunch of threads on this but they're all very old. So I figured it's better just to create a new one to see what tours are heading our way... The Exploited - Nov '23 Suicidal Tendencies - Nov '23 The Halo Effect / Beyond the...

Can the Metal 2017, Metal 2018 and Metal 2019 threads in General Discussion be unstickied? There's no need for any of these yearly release threads to be kept sticky as they can easily be found by searching. (edit: it's been done, thanks!)

RULES: – Rank Gorguts' 5 studio albums and the Pleiades' Dust EP. Your 1st pick gets 6 points, 2nd gets 5 etc. etc., 6th gets 1 point. – You may rank as few as 4 releases. Lists with less than 4 will not be counted. If you list less than 6, your 1st pick will still get 6 points and your last...

This poll will be open until mid-June at least. I wanna see you pull some teeth. RULES: – Post up to 10 releases (5 minimum) and number your list. Your 1st pick gets 10 points, 2nd gets 9 etc. etc., 10th gets 1 point. Feel free to list more albums, but they won't count as picks. – Metal...

This is worth a whole separate thread: If you marry average track ratings to album ratings, the track ratings take on extra meaning. On its own, a 7/10 song is just a rather good song. But if the album feels like a 9/10 overall, then the 7/10 becomes harsh and says that song is really dragging...

For each year from 1970 up to last year, list your fav metal album released that year + your fav non-metal album from the same year, and pick the better of the two. Then calculate the % of years where metal won the head to head battle to get your score. For example, picks bolded here would mean...

I was bored and recalled band names can make some funny anagrams. The longer they are, the more ridiculous the possibilities tend to get. Show us what you can find... here's a few: Candlemass slamdances lanced mass camel sands clam sedans calm ass end ms ed's canal Dissection is iced snot...

There's been many a thread around UM for listing or ranking albums, so songs seem a tad neglected by comparison. Post a few of your all-time favourite songs (metal or non-metal) so we can see if we can hear what the fuss is. Or are you the sort of person whose favourite songs have changed...

It's a pipe dream that @Blurry_Dreams could ever be contained to one thread, but if he was it'd look a lot like this:

A heads up that we're polling the Top Metal(lic) Albums of the 1970s in General Discussion. Even if you don't wanna submit a list for that, perhaps you'd like to discuss some of your favourites here. Do you prefer the classics such as Sabbath, Priest, Purple and Motörhead? Or some of the more...

RULES: - Post up to 20 releases (10 minimum) and number your list. Your 1st pick gets 20 points, 2nd gets 19 etc. etc., 20th gets 1 point. Feel free to list more albums, but they won't count as picks. - Metal(lic) releases only. Meaning actual metal, plus anything you thought was too metallic...

What are some metal songs that you love ironically for whatever reason? The first that comes to mind for me is Megadeth - 1000 Times Goodbye. The fact it's hilarious makes it a lot better somehow: There's also Holocaust - From the Mine Shaft to the Bike Shed. Surely they can't be serious...

Post your ranking of the discography of any artist at all – either non-metal, or metal bands that don't have enough appeal to ever be ranked in the GMD section of the forum. Include all of their main studio albums. This is an open-ended thread with no plans to tally anything, so if you've only...

I think these would get a bit lost among the yearly new releases threads. Link us to new various artists compilations that come out, for example: The Doomed & Stoned Bandcamp has many more hundreds of tracks than I'll ever get around to listening to. This latest one is a compilation of New...

What's the meaning of life? Those of us who are atheists would likely concur that there's no intrinsic meaning in life, and it's all just a tremendous accident. If anything exists outside of our universe, it's probably more universes containing equally baffled creatures. So, maybe the question...

Anyone been to any non-metal shows lately or going to any coming up? The only upcoming show I currently have tickets to is Patti Smith. More my girlfriend's thing, but a few songs are starting to grow on me. edit: my relationship went on hold and after 2 years of postponements Patti's tour was...

...I make horrible industrial noise using samples of kitchen utensils. On the cover song it's an egg slicer for the guitar, a broken rubber band for the bass, a bag of flaxseeds being hit by a wooden spoon for the snare, a dishwasher cutlery basket for the hi-hat and so on. The sound is suitably...

Big middle finger to third millennium electronics here. This is our first PC from 1986 when I was 2. Both it and the original monitor seem to be working just fine. Not sure if I should be surprised that its name doesn't return any Google results, but it's a Super Star XT-6 made in Taiwan - an...
