![]() It was definitely a missed opportunity to not get Griffin Taylor on “Mad”, but the guy he did get does a decent enough job at channeling older Slipknot. Bonitz feels quite a bit more restrained than he does in Tallah, but he’s got enough talent that it helps mask some of that. They’re going for a Korn-esque delivery on this one, and for the most part it feels like a hybrid between them and Linkin Park. ![]() Still, there is a silver lining here “Primal” is headed vocally by the aforementioned Justin Bonitz, and is far and away the best moment on this compilation. “Moan” doesn’t even come close to matching Stephen Carpenter’s thick guitar tones in much of Deftones’ discography, and while I get they weren’t trying to 1:1 match everything, the mixing here leaves a lot to be desired. While that isn’t a problem in and of itself, the lack of dynamic in the drum mix is distracting. The drums on here all sound the same, but that’s mostly a consequence of whatever drum sampler Nik Nocturnal’s using here it’s very clear that these are programmed. ![]() The mixing is quite uneven at times “Nein” (which if you haven’t already guessed, is a Rammstein sounding song) is mixed a good 10 dB below everything else and sounds ridiculous being so quiet amongst the rest. Thankfully, everything else is at least passable in comparison. It’s astonishing how bad this sounds, and Dickie Allen just sounds obnoxious. The absolute nadir of this project is the attempt at doing a Lorna Shore song in “Pain”. Victor Borba did his best, but it’s not like he was given a lot to work with. “Soul Eternal” is supposed to be a take on the entire discography of Bring Me the Horizon, and it really just sounds like a rejected cut from Sempiternal overall. ![]() After listening to all of this, I almost wish these WERE just covers, and the ultimate takeaway I had was the following: just listen to the original bands on a playlist instead.įirst we have the Sleep Token-lite “Worship” opening the album, and it pretty much sounds like what people who hate Sleep Token think they sound like everything’s haphazardly thrown together, and guest vocalist Cameron Humphrey’s attempt at channeling Vessel’s signature warbly affect just sounds weird, especially considering he sounds a lot better when he’s doing his own thing, like on the closer “Moan” which is supposedly meant to be a Deftones song. That comes with a cost though the writing here feels extremely half-baked. Unlike Anthony Vincent of Ten Second Songs’ fame, Nik is just writing wholly original cuts, whereas Vincent was taking existing songs and warping them into other artists’ styles, so it’s different than just outright being a cover act. He’s also gotten into the whole “write a bunch of songs in other bands’ styles” that other metal/rock channels like Ten Second Songs have done, to some success his fans have been requesting full versions of the songs he was writing on Twitch streams.Ĭontext is necessary here, because that’s exactly what the How to Metal series is primed to be effectively channeling the styles of 10 or so bands and consolidating it all into its own thing. Nik Nocturnal really needs no introduction if you’re aware of his channel, but if not, he’s another one of those “metal” YouTubers that reacts to memes, does things like “Try Not to Headbang” challenges, what have you. So in a way, it’s like he’s going back to his roots and doing collaborations with other YouTubers. 1 here Justin Bonitz, who was mostly known as Hungry Lights, went on to have a lot of success with one of the spearheads of the nu metal revival in Tallah, has a vocal feature on this. ![]() Hell - just look at some of the people featured in the tracklist of How to Metal, Vol. YouTube sensations going on to have successful careers in music is nothing new.

The Phillies beat up on Kansas City and Washington to fatten their grip on a wild-card berth. Minnesota lost its fourth straight but maintained its 3 1/2-game lead over Cleveland in the weak AL Central. “Probably one of the best games of the year,” Stott said. Rojas hit a two-run shot in the eighth off Twins outfielder Jordan Luplow that made it 13-2. Stott hit his 11th homer of the season and Realmuto followed with his 15th in the sixth inning for an 11-2 lead.

Through the first seven games, the Phillies hit 18 home runs. The rally was out of the norm for the Phillies in the eighth game of a 10-game homestand. “I mean, kinda feels like we ran into a buzz saw here,” Keuchel said. “I’ve been saying all along the offense is going to get going. “It has to turn at some point,” manager Rob Thomson said. The AL Central-leading Twins nearly tied the game in the third, but a leaping Javier Bez snagged Jordan Luplow’s drive to end the inning with runners on the corners. 500 to stay until mid-June is suddenly tearing it up.

Rather, they're closer related to achievements, trophies, and other accolades players get on different platforms in other games, but Riot says this feature is even then a bit different still. The idea of League of Legends emerged when the original developer of the Warcraft 3 mod Defence of the Ancients, or DOTA more commonly known by, Steve ‘Guinsoo’ Feak and the mods administrator. LoL's release date: OctoAfter three years of development, Riot Games released League of Legends on October 27, 2009. These Challenges will exist alongside other progression systems like the Eternals which are unique to individual champions, but Challenges aren't restricted to one champ alone. ![]() This will make the feature widely available right as the game's Mid-Season Invitational esports event gets underway, so that means everyone who's more active during that time because of whatever in-game event is going on will be able to take advantages of trying out these Challenges, too.

The game’s creators, Marc Merrill and Brandon Beck, were inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA), a popular mod for Warcraft III. That was phrased as just a plan at the time, but another update on the feature from Riot has confirmed that the Challenges are now locked in and set to release with that exact update. League of Legends wasn’t released this decade it originally came out in 2009 but it did come of age this decade, and since it’s still one of the most.

Google has called the lawsuit " deeply flawed," saying in a statement in 2020: "People use Google because they choose to, not because they're forced to, or because they can't find alternatives.The DOJ and dozens of states are attacking business agreements that have made Google the default search engine on many phones, web browsers and smart speakers. Next Tuesday, the Justice Department's antitrust trial against Google is slated to begin.Alongside the philosophical questions, there are very real and imminent challenges to Google happening now.So if the web slowly dies because Google and AI are sucking the value out of it without creating any incentives to create new things, I don't know where that leaves any of us, really. They're going to start a TikTok channel or a YouTube channel. Google knows that a new creator online is not going to start a web page the way that I started a web page when I was a young person who wanted to make things on the internet. And I think that answer is fundamentally extremely revealing. I had asked Google's CEO, Sundar Pichai, about this, and his answer was that they have YouTube - that YouTube exists - and people will still make YouTube videos. Those companies are closed off to Google. If no one wants to share their new information with Google, what will it train the AI on? If some set of big publishers say, 'Look, our Google traffic is going down, we're going to stop letting Google crawl our web pages and stop feeding new information into the Google search machine,' where's the AI going to get new, reliable information from? It can't scrape Instagram. I think that is one of the questions of the AI age. And you can see why a bunch of companies that have organized themselves around Google traffic are freaking out, because they have just provided all of their work to Google for free, and they're not really going to get anything else out of it. But you add in something like AI or Google's search generative experience, which needs to ingest a massive amount of data to then just provide the answers contained on the pages that it ingested, and no one gets any traffic from that. Now, Google just tells you the answer to that question. That was pretty ridiculous, but they were all competing for Google search traffic for that query on the day of the Super Bowl. There was a cottage industry of websites telling people what time the Super Bowl was. They also just answer the questions directly now. Over time, Google has bought a lot of companies that now own and control that information, and they favor their own companies over competitors who might have better information or more useful services. Initially, the way they provided it was by looking at the entire internet and sending you to pages on the internet that contained that information. They are there to provide useful information, that's what Google has always thought of itself as. And now artificial intelligence could usher in a new era of opportunity - and change - for the search giant. ![]() I think it's important for us to all take a minute and look at it and say, 'OK, our information architecture is dominated by people searching for things, and those search results are very much influenced by the needs of Google.'" And here we are 25 years later, and Google is a dominant purveyor of advertising online. And they knew that advertising would be a way to make money, but they thought it would corrupt the company inevitably. Patel told NPR: "At the very beginning of Google, they were both fairly opposed to advertising.
