thanks man.

But i have a question xD... I know they are progressive metal / rock... but i was looking and there are shitload of bands with same genre but less metal sound (imo)


I wanna know what is that this band has (The Last Void) that makes it less metal than the 457 listed bands in the archives (and to be honest some of them shouldn be there imo)

PD. i know is blaclisted and wont get accepted... i just want to know, is it the female singer? does it make the sound less "metaly" or the harsh vocals arent good? i dunno u tell me pls

Please clearify that. Thanks a lot

Their sound is far more alternative based, than metal. Sounds like inspired by Tool.
Famale vocalist does not matter at all.

page about Darkness Wish Angels (Ukraine) was rejected by Encyclopaedia Metallum

Darkness Wish Angels (Ukraine) is still unsigned band but working on their first self financed self produced 12 tracks album and a second album in future plans too

So , please , add this info to the metal archives

No, please read and understand the first post.

Oh ye now u said it is true... Thanks a lot man. Still i think it sound more "metalier" than many on the archives...

About the female i just brought it up since it clrearly brings more "peace" to the tune... i dunno thats how i feel i dunno if i explain myself.


Thanks witcher.

Listening to the band Son of Aurelius right now...sounds like pure technical death metal with little to no hardcore influence or use of breakdowns. How come they aren't in the archives?

Simply submit them, then.

The problem is, that your band is not predominantly (death) metal, but punk inpired grind with occasional metal riff.
Read, what the guidelines say about grindcore.

I submitted this artist and it seems to have been rejected. The release is in physical form as well as via iTunes.

As far as the genre goes, I submitted it as Instrumental Progressive Metal. If a band like Animals As Leaders is able to be listed in the Archives, then so should this artist.

Any reason why it was rejected?

Not metal.
Bands are judged individually, so no "if a band x is here, then my submission must be accepted".

I had the band Cloaca rejected for not being metal.
http://www.myspace.com/cloacamusic

I don't see how they are considered not metal.

could anyone enlighten me?

The music belongs much more in the alternative scene, post-hardcore scene.
The songwriting is not metal in any way. They have distorted guitars, but that is all.
They do not belong to any valid metal genre.

fair enough, I get what what your saying, I dissagree slightly, but oh well. Though Metal songwriting? that has to be a pretty ambiguous term if ever I heard one.

I tried, and it said they had been previously rejected.

Try it now, and yes, it is modern death metal, nothing predominantly core in it.

I tried to submitt the finnish band "The Nibiruan", but i found them already in the rejected list. Any idea why they are blacklisted?
They sound progressive death metal.
The debut ep is physical now.

Thanks.

Tried to submit US sludge metal band Zozobra and they were already rejected.

http://www.myspace.com/zozobra505 should show proof of "metalness".
http://www.bluecollardistro.com/hydrahe ... 35&store=0 is proof of a release.

In addition, Zozobra is a side project of Old Man Gloom bassist Caleb Scofield. Not that it should matter because I think Zozobra is probably metal enough to get an entry on it's own.

Thanks

Not metal and not a side-project with a release on a label with worldwide distribution in stone shops.

Well, Hydra Head do have worldwide distribution in stone shops as far as I know, but the band is Caleb's project after the demise of Cave In (Old Man Gloom itself is also a side project). Aaron turner was just a guest in the band, so I don't think they can get in under the side project rule that way, either. Long story short: Zozobra aren't exactly a side project so would have to be shown to be metal enough to get on the site (which I don't think they are).

So?

Regarding the band Life After Life, which was rejected yesterday, I was able to get a member to send me pictures of the demo with album art, so as to further prove that the demo is indeed a physical release. He also told me that he updated his myspace to include it. If for some reason it's still not enough, if you can tell me what else we can do, that'd be great.

Sounds rather similar to Tool and System of a Down, which I think was the reason for rejection.

Resubmit.

Well actually, they got some decent techincal elements and sound somehow as amoral old stuff, but anyways, do you confirm they are predominantly not metal, they will stay blacklisted?

Yes.

Fair enough, thanks man.

I've scanned the cover of the Cremator demo. I uploaded it with the album submission but just to be safe here it is again. Small to conform with the site restrictions for album cover pics. Hope this is enough to confirm we do indeed have a demo available.

Hmm... I saw a review of the EP where they were compared to Amoral, Meshuggah and Gojira, all of which are in the Archives.

http://www.imperiumi.net/index.php?act=demos&id=2358 (in Finnish, Google translate kinda sucks, but might give the idea)

I have heard them, so nothing will change my decision. If samples are available, reviews will not help you.
Recent Meshuggah are not particularly metal.

I've asked about this before... if Meshuggah's more recent stuff isn't deemed "metal", then why is it labeled as such on its profile here?

Did you really just say that.

...yeah? I mean, do I really need to elaborate any more? In Flames was a melodic death metal band earlier, but not really metal anymore. Thus, the genre states that they were melodic death metal, and now are Alt rock/metal. If Witcher and the rest of the mods think that Meshuggah isn't metal anymore, then at least state it on their page like they've done with other bands..

I was replying to Witcher.

Ok then my apologies.

Resubmitted; got the exact same rejection message.

Did you include all the links in the submission? Also the one to the forum post? There are more than one mod running the queue you know.

I linked to the myspace, and when I added the demo, I used a picture that was sent to me by the band member. Though I never thought to link to this thread. silly me.

I recently tried to submit a band called RazoR which is my side-project, and was rejected because it was deemed "Not Metal enough." First, I have only released ONE demo, and it's just an ambient metal song. There is guitar in it, if you actually listen to it. Second, I'm currently still in Kelkum, and when I tried to submit RazoR, I still named the genre "Ambient Black Metal" which means, IN THE NEAR FUTURE, I WILL RELEASE AN ENTIRE METAL DEMO/EP WITH RAZOR!
