The ETR 600 is a class of trains built by Alstom, and are used on the routes between Roma-Bolzano and Roma-Trieste. The train tilts, using Pendolino technology, allowing higher speeds to be maintained through corners without causing discomfort to passengers. The trains are operated by Trenitalia, originally under the Frecciargento (Silver Arrow) branding used for trains capable of travelling between 250 km/h and 285 km/h, In 2022 they were rebranded under Frecciarossa (Red Arrow) after the Frecciargento branding was retired.

The ETR 600 has also been adapted for use in China as the China Railway CRH5 Hexie. Initially 60 sets were ordered, of which nine were manufactured by Alstom and 51 by CNR Changchun Railway Vehicles. Since, another 80 sets have been created for a total of 140, operating across China’s north from Beijing to Ürümqi.

    Ooh yeah, oceanic is also excellent. I really like the more raw feel it has compared to the others.

    How about Agalloch? That’s another band you might dig. Ashes against the grain is my favorite of theirs, but like ISIS you really can’t go wrong with any of them.

      Agalloch did The Mantle right? Elk album good

      You might The Ocean (Collective) too. More prog/sludgy stuff than post-metal but probably would appeal to an ISIS fan too. They do concept albums about geological ages and the layers of the ocean and sound like a more atmospheric/sludgy version of Mastodon’s first four-ish albums and are really cool and good imho

        That’s them! I got to see them live once, and I really enjoyed it. Elk album definitely good.

        Oh yeah, I love the ocean! Pelagial is the one of theirs that has stuck with me the hardest.

        You have rad taste in music!

          aubrey-happy aww ty!! You too! trans-heart

          I’ve seen The Ocean twice and they’re fucking great live but have I-was-saying level bad touring luck, I think both times I’ve seen them they said they either had gear stolen from them or had a van break down so I spent more in their merch than I wanted because I felt bad for them coming all the way from Switzerland to have bad shit happen to them sadness

          They have some sick merch though imo

            Thanks :)

            Jeez, rough tours :(

            That’s pretty sick that you’ve gotten to see them a couple of times though! That’s a super dope shirt too, wow. 🤘
