Why is Solo-Project of Lamb of God guitarist Mark Morton Blacklisted?
1. Most Songs sounds pretty "Metal", in general, I would call it something like Metalcore/Groove Metal, similar to what he does in Lamb of God
2. It's a Solo Project

We accept the following non-metal bands in certain cases (these exceptions can be ambiguous and debatable - scroll down for details):
Side-projects of notable metal band members (ex. Pain, Wongraven, Die Verbannten Kinder Evas). We prefer side-projects to be on a label with worldwide distribution and have a full-length release, but do not require it (this is to avoid a flood of bedroom/MySpace bands).

One might argue that a band can start as such but can stop being one if the main band splits-up. Or that while it's reasonable to have Wongraven or Chaostar, that a country band started by a Flotsam & Jetsam member would simply look out of place on a metal site. Our answer is that we have no choice but to go with a case by case approach. It might be a little arbitrary, but it's hard to define a rule that will apply for every case of a non-metal side-project. Yes, that might mean you'll have to ask us before submitting this guy's side-project. Usually there shouldn't be any problem, but if the side-project really has nothing to do with the heavy metal scene and/or would really look out of place here, chances are, it won't be accepted.
He is signed to a Worldwide Label (Spinefarm/Universal) and he released a full-length. And it's far away from having nothing to do with the Metal scene.
