Talking with the guy of GS Production, there is the will to re-release their recordings if they find proper high quality sources in the future

Smegma: Bandmember confirmed no VR. I asked if anything was handed out at live shows, and he said he thinks not. Best to remove.

Machine's Way: I asked if the band released anything and a bandmember said it was just on youtube. No vr apparently.

Miskatonic: There's a copy for sale on discogs. I think there might be enough VR proof for this one. Will submit.

Sticky Sweet: Seems more rooted in hard rock. Metal moments but not predominant.
https://vk.com/wall-62977084_5536

Year Zero got added.
https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Ye ... 3540543106

Stagg: I contacted the seller on discogs and he said it's more in the vein of hard rock than metal. Another site has this band listed as "Female fronted melodic hard rock sung in Finnish." Best to take this one off the list in my opinion.

The Disembodied: Found 2/5 tracks on the internet archive. Way more hardcore than expected, but not to the point where this is 100% removable. if someone thinks the band should go based on these, please feel free to say so.
https://archive.org/details/@bassmanj

Ujenyx: Got a (rare) response back on soundcloud. It seems they released something in the 80s, but couldn't get exact details. Might see about getting more info.

Sweet Impale: Mikseri here. Sounds like metal. Problem is that none of the tracks are the ones on the CD. Might be enough to submit.
https://mikseri.net/sweetimpale

BV.Inc: Has an entire album's worth of material but no coherent VR from what i've seen. This blog mentions an album but could just be BS.
https://www.palcomp3.com.br/bvinc/
https://pichilianimetalrooom.blogspot.c ... v-inc.html

Amongst The Carnage: Soundcloud here. Only has two tracks, and one is a... lovely christmas cover.
https://soundcloud.com/amongst-the-carnage

Got VR confirmation for, and will submit:
M.O.R.B.O
Menedék

I'm also expecting samples for Slurp!

Monsier: Uploader says it was officially released on tape.

Arsenal (5363): Already listed.
https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Arsenal/52657

Needs research. - Carrion
Location: Tokyo, Japan
Listed Genre: Thrash Metal
Discography: ‘Demonstration Tape’ (Demo tape, self-released, ‘90’s) https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/k1132390758
Discogs: None
Need samples

Bodega-B: Last-fm and metalmuseum listing releases. This band definitely released at least one demo and split. Probably super rare.
https://www.last.fm/music/Bodega-b/+wiki
https://metalmuzeum.hu/index.php?title= ... BAk_(split)

Bounty (5644): Comp track here. Sounds like decent metal. Need to see if there was more than that.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oeg56o3bK6M

Clone (5664): So this band has enough info to submit. I found an entire set on youtube and the band in the comments posted a link to download their obscure demo in the comments. Link is dead now, but a metalmuseum listing has the details. Problem is that this is more borderline "groove metal" that has a lot of hardcore in it. Will deliberate on this one.
https://youtu.be/TUN_qFvsfO8?si=m1R24y7UrUWvmfPe
https://metalmuzeum.hu/index.php?title= ... %A1s_(demo)

Inferno (5755): Already listed under Inferno Metalcore System.
https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/In ... stem/45844

Marilyn: Sounds more like hard/glam rock.
https://vk.com/music/playlist/162422172_52

Mind Control: Are we sure this isn't the same as the listed band? Lastfm claims they are the same. I also found samples where the name is stylized as one word, like the listed one.
https://www.youtube.com/@dexmorkill/sea ... indcontrol

Ninive: Sounds like rock.
https://music.apple.com/ru/song/j%C3%A1 ... /410920790

Tears: Rock.
https://youtu.be/e22pqs-6BOk?si=gEZ4W_veBSXuxQIB

Pantufas do Alem: Seems more rock based.
https://www.youtube.com/@pantufasdoalem666/videos

Prostibules: Misspelling of Prostibulus, already listed.
https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Pr ... 3540526248

I have uploaded the full tape and a photo after receiving a message about it on Discogs. Still don't know anything beyond my initial post though.

Got the Oddyssey CD in today. Will submit.

Subway Force: Likely a short lived project made up of other members from other bands to make one song/
https://imgur.com/a/KDmWh5o

She Nasty - Deathcore from Massachusetts, New Hampshire (USA)

Could be one of those digital demos that were download only. Apparently no art.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ikYwLHSNTw

The band's archived myspace says you could download an ep, but this music does not sound acceptable IMO. Too core.

Naldor: Only ever did another comp track. No VR.
https://imgur.com/a/4zUNx7m

Thanks for that. Had a few listens through between now and then anyway and yeah sounds like mathy deathcore that doesn't incorporate enough metal riffage

(edit)

Wow, asked for one tape and I received samples for ALL the Slurp! tapes. Expect that soon.

Fear Of Falling: EP found here by a person that found it in a goodwill. That would likely be proof for VR, but this is not metallic metalcore to my ears.
https://youtu.be/RqLxAVF0v8c?si=UYprwu-eeV-MtQcK

No Name Maddox: AKA Noname Maddox. This band is frequently lumped in with Nu-metal and hardcore. This is evident in the following links, and should probably be removed.
https://sideshowfreaks.org/Music/index. ... ame_Maddox
https://toomuchrock.com/shows/noname.html
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8sN_gXoIAI

Resist (8597): Nu-Metal/Hardcore.
https://officialresistmusic.bandcamp.co ... of-reality

The Common Man: Riffs now and then, but too mathy. Reminds me of Yakuza a lil bit.
https://vk.com/music/playlist/-21683085 ... 9a0150b8b6

4 Thirteen: found three tracks, all of which seem to lean more hard rock.
https://www.broadjam.com/songs/4thirteen

Actitud Enemiga: This band? Formed in the early 2000s, from Argentina, but not the city mentioned by BU.
https://www.reverbnation.com/actitudenemiga
https://actitudenemiga.bandcamp.com/album/un-nuevo-d-a

Aphasia: Whole live show here. Advertised as extreme nu-metal. Probably not worth keeping.

Edit :

After posting a long list of bands, I realised that Spooky already did it a while back. Colour me embarrassed!

Hey, PM. I hope I don’t come off as rude, but you might want to audit that list you just submitted for double counting, as off the top of my head Provoke Your Enemy is already on the research list. Not sure how many others were here or taken off the list, but it’s a possibility.

Hey mate, crap. I didn't cross reference. I'll remove PtE. I'm not home so have been using my mobile phone to post.

Thanks for letting me know!

Received samples for the following bands and will assess metalness soon:
Slurp!
Thin Ice
Dirty Water Salt And Blood
Sepulchrum Dei

AVWAKC: Doesn't sound metal to me. Probably just this single anyhow.
https://avwakc.bandcamp.com/album/avwakc

Slurp!: Started out Industrial/Thrash before moving to industrial metal. Will Submit.

Thin Ice: Hard Rock.
https://youtu.be/qwtZ0KGOnGs?si=9kLf5DnDhugmcU8M

Sepulchrum Dei: Black Metal. VR was marked no, but there's a picture of the CD on discogs, and I found another image of the promo with a case and CD. Will submit. If rejected, will report back.

Hindsight 20/20: Found proof of VR and samples. Music is borderline. Described as a mix of Disturbed and Dream theater so there's that. I'm inclined to say it leans more rock, but this is a genre I am not familiar with. It might be worth a shot in the queue.

The HSIG album was likely originally released under the Beautiful Broken name, presumably on MySpace or something.

There's a review
https://www.metal.de/reviews/beautiful- ... ary-12560/

and I saw one or two more, but neither mention anything on how it was distributed/released. Could've just been a promo sent out to zines/labels or whatever...
