This band's entry was rejected on the basis that this is post-rock/djent band.
Having listened on repeat to the whole album, I cannot see that; there are so many prog metal elements, they deserve to be listed here as much as band's like Symphpony X or Dali's Dilemma. In fact, the sound is very similar to the above bands, to not mention many more.

This is not post-rock/djent lads and gals, are you sure you have listened to it?

Two mods listened to it and came to that conclusion. I agree it’s not post-rock, but when I listened to it I didn’t think it was predominantly metal. IIRC, “Reflection” was a metal song all the way through, but otherwise in every song there was a lot of guitar chugging and synth noodling and plain prog-rock. That is, there were metal influences, but it didn’t strike me as a predominantly metal album. I’ll ask somebody else to check this thread if you really want a third opinion.

I asked a third mod to listen to it. They agreed, they thought that aside from “Reflection” it sounded mostly like plain prog-rock with some djent stuff. Seems like enough of a consensus to keep them blacklisted, but you’re free to bring them up again when they release another album.

Agree aswell. Didn't see it was already taken care of before listening, but well. One more "no" doesn't hurt ;)
