Why is Hellyeah accepted? They sound like nu metal to me.

I mean if they're accepted suppose Mudvayne(bleh) is acceptable!

If this has already been covered I apologize, I haven't read all 81 pages.

Sound more like very shitty groove metal combined with very shitty standard traditional metal to me. Shitty, but metal...

Recently accepted band SHATERED IMAGE arready here.I did the same misstake one year ago,because this name missing one T.

http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=36973 (Correct band)

I put in alternate spelling "Shaterd Image"
now problem should be solved ;P

Well, I'm a bit late, but some explanations about Malaysia in the 80's (and before, and most probably until the early 90's too) :

- LPs were sold as promo copies to radios mostly ;
- tapes were sold to the public.

Or, according to this page, there was a tape version too, that most probably was avalaible in shops.

IMO this band was deleted by error. The LP version wasn't for sale -and it's one of the few LPs from this era to have a full cover, most having two tape covers unfolded and glued on one side, sometimes on one side of the LP, and sometimes each one respectively on each side of the LP.

As for my personal experience, I never saw the tape version outside the page I gave before, and I own the vinyl version only. The tape version is maybe easier to find in Malaysia itself, though.

I have no time to submit them again -if it's authorized, a thing that I need to verify again before submitting anything-, but if it's possible I'll do it if I can gather enough info.

What exactly is a "gimmick band" in the rules? Because we have one Black Metal band on the archives which is actually a parody band:

Darkkirchensteuer = "Darkchurchtax"
http://metal-archives.com/band.php?id=33060

With titles like:

The wanker blender
We're making churchjuice

etc.

Also the strange music clip tells us this is no serious project

http://www.gregmaster.de/dks/index1.htm (37MB) at "Video"


I'm asking because once I tried to contribute the band Winterschiss to the archives, because I've seen this one here added and thought it was okay, but mine's got rejected because it was a parody band.

Also this is one band project which is meant to be funny:

Ammattammen Bas
http://metal-archives.com/band.php?id=17074

Only music matters, nothing else, if a band is metal, it gets listed, parody or not.

Gimmick band is listed there in relation to cover bands, for example a black metal band which plays only Backstreet Boys covers.

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu ... d=94364381

Winterschiss is not metal. Only the song Tribute to Nachtblut is metal, but is it even their own song?

Thanks for the answer.

This Tribute Song I do not know, they have one another there, called Hodengeschnetzeltes as a Videoclip on their myspace. I know they have lots of nonsense and plain noise on their "records", but actually made some few real metal related stuff.

My submit got rejected because of it being a parody.

They must also have physical releases, so they would need at least one metal physical release.

They released a split with ammattammen bas on tape I think, but I'm not sure. The homepage is down so I can't investigate. I'm pretty sure that most material was for download only.

I think iranian peoples are No1 in inventing daily fake bands, fortunately todays we see lots of underground labels and distro around the states that support underground metal bands so the real metal bands can easily supported by labels and those are fake are not supported! this is very simple. I'm from iran and like some iranian metal bands but I really want our metal scene grow in correct way, unfortunatly most of iranian metal bands and projects in metal-archives are fake and not have any physical release, also I contact with members and ask them for physical self-released copy but they offered me just the internet link like rapidshares or samples, now check them and judge :

Allegro = id=108108
internet sample self-release in mp3 format?! one demo in 2005 and Split-up

Aras = id=23254
I contact with lord aras and he send me one cdr full of aras mp3s for 7$, worthless mp3 cdr without cover , and contact with aras first label www.ragnarok-records.com but I don't know why label release nothing after several month!?

Aryan Spirits = id=34354
I'll always search for them complete music but I can't find, Aryan Spirits formed in 1998 and their first scarce demo out in 2004?! very dubious for iran. I download their 30sec mp3 samples without bass and vocals with very simple chords! wow sounds like crap!!! check it if interested http://users.cjb.net/aryanspirits/downloads.htm

Avinar = id=15257
everyone knows him like a fake guy who made his music with softwares like Melody Assistant Sonar FL ..., Avinar was formed in 1999?! oh I can't believe it but I hear Avinar's first demo in 2003 which he says composed it in 99! where the hell are you in those gone past years Hamid "Avinar" M.A.? the two or three first demos are in ambient, Bey.Ma Funeral and other demos are full programming, the electric guitar sounds are fake and made by tuned simulator instrument softwares, did you still waiting for physical release?

Beaten Victoriouses = id=39819
after released their demo in world wide internet in 2005 they are Split-up

Dejkhim = id=40782
did you hear anything from Dejkhim ? me? NO!

Emerna = id=96538
another Hamid 'Avinar' M.z.A.'s project with no physical rleases, actually he is against physical rleases and hate nowdays world black metal bands and he called his genre 'Dark Arts' not Black Metal (I read it in Emerna's persian interview). acclamation Hamid fo your new genre 'Dark Arts'!

Freezing Moon (Irn) id=124681
No physical rlease! No physical person!! I contact him and request her self-released 2007 demo but he said sold-out! also I tell him repeatedly to upload the last track mayhem cover 'Freezing Moon' but he never answer me! why? what did you think? and do you really believe the past member Vynter commit suicide with self-burning gas-fire?

Jabbar = id=28292
one single track in 2003 and then disband

Necres = id=109819
Self Destruction demo again self-dubious-release! practically never physical release

Schizoid Man = id=71940
I hate this crap band, no physical release but have a good crap music.

Shab = id=20245
another Hamid 'Avinar' M.z.A.'s project...

Trophy Bride = id=53346
Is AOM Records are their label? I can't find 'AOM Records' for metal label except 'Anger Of Metal Records' and in their site Trophy Bride is not exist!


Oh elongation more?
As I said I'm not against iranian's metal bands but I want correction, if they have a band, they must respect to metal music and use real guitars and release their albums in physical format exactly ike the other real metal bands.

Based on what you said, here's the list of FAKE Iranian bands:

http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=108108 - Allegro
http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=23254 - Aras
http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=34354 - Aryan Spirits
http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=15257 - Avinar
http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=39819 - Beaten Victoriouses (horrible Engrish)
http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=40782 - Dejkhim
http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=96538 - Emerna
http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=124681 - Freezing Moon
http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=28292 - Jabbar
http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=109819 - Necres (Koseh Shar Productions doesn't exist)
http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=71940 - Schizoid Man
http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=20245 - Shab
http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=53346 - Trophy Blade

Could you tell us anything about other Iranian bands? - http://www.metal-archives.com/browseC.php?c=101

Allegro, Aryan Spirits, Avinar, Dejkhim, Freezing Moon, Jabbar, Necres, Schizoid Man and Trophy Blade are 100% fake bands!
They sing on other metal bands songs like Trophy Bride
They use electric electric guitar simulator instrument softwares for their recordings like Avinar and Shab Abyssic Imperial Full-length 2004
They are not rally exist and steal other bands photos and music like Freezing Moon who steal music from Polish bm band 'Abs Conditus', check Freezing Moon website download and Abs Conditus Rehearsal Demo 1994 music
and they are FAKE! very simple.

But about Aras and Emerna have not physical release, Emerna never signed to label because he think distance from nowdays black metal, and Aras's past projects had no physical releases but new label Ragnarok Records wants release the last one nad I'l waiting several months for it but no more news about the release date.

Thanks again, they will be handled. Especially Freezing Moon member desrves a kick in the butt for something like that.

OK, what about other Iranian bands?

EDIT: De Mysterium also has a physical release - even two.

EDIT #2: Farzad and Kahtmayan also seem to have physical releases (not entirely sure about Farzad, though).

EDIT #3: same for Ahoora and Arsames.

Your welcome, I just written what I know about iranian bm bands and want our (Iran) black metal scene grow correctly not based on fake.

Yeah De Mysteriium has not physical release
about Kahtmayan I'm sure but I don't know about Farzad Golpayegani, Ahoora and Arsames.

Also I guess Farshid Arabi is not deserve to be add in metal-archives because they are inspired by pop music, check Nagoo-Bedrood track from their site:
http://www.farshidarabi.com/download/nagoo-bedrood.mp3

The songs on Farshid's site are certainly metal enough. He can also have soft ballads, if he has otherwise metal releases.

So De Mysteriium does not have physical release, do I get it right?

Yeah, but have internet release via misty-graveyard:
http://misty-graveyard.com/download/demysteriium.htm

Witcher, please go to their page on MA and look up their first demo - it has a photo of a CD/CD-R. Plus, the band was submitted by Fanfarigoule. So you can ask him about it.

Yes, I have seen that, but the actual gray coloured artwork is strangely positioned and I have already seen Iranian users submitting photos of some real Cd with computer made "skin", cover or imprint/lettering over it.

Yes, it looked suspicious to me too, but... I don't know, maybe it's better to ask Fanfarigoule (who submitted them) before deletion?

Destroy the Runner deleted, alternative rock based music.
http://www.purevolume.com/destroytherunner

I don't know much more about De Mysteriium. I think I added the band after an email I got. But there was this CD picture I wasn't very suspicious with. Seems like I got taken for a ride. Damn.
Release's titles returns nothing valid on Google. The band shares the same links and hosting sites as the other Iranian fake bands. Deleted.

Please delete this band. I think it's a fake. I have submitted it early on when i didn't quite understand the metal-archives rules, and i just saw it in the list of bands submitted by me.
http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=93777

I found the album on a P2P server with covers and things like that, and i'm pretty sure the band is fake.

http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=112091
This one is dubious too. The guitarist's bio states it started as a "power project", but that could be anything from power metal to power electronics to power pop. I dont know, but i think it should be deleted. Just lsiten to what they play now...

This band, Nutskab, has no discography and the only link listed doesn't work. (Besides this fact, their genre is a joke. Texas Death Metal? WTF?)
Oddly enough they've been listed on the site since 2002 and haven't been modified since 2004.

http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=4906

No physical releases. Seek psychiatric help, since everybody who seriously writes stuff like "because here is the end of the world, I AM TRUTH, I AM LIE, I AM EMERNA" needs medical care.

Expect a ban soon too. You have already been warned.

DARKENERS, BLACKMETALENS AND DEEEPS... This is plain fucking awesome. I just wonder, are DARKENERS the worshippers of Rob Darken?

what happened to this band?
http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=77695
Why was their release deleted?
Link

Because the demo had wrong tracklisting, Popa Iuda promised to add the correct one, but obviously is a bit lazy...

Hi kingofsatan. You look like really reliable about Iranian bands, so i have a question for you. What about the band Midgard (Irn) http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=17916 ? Are they a real band? I ask that because some years ago i used to be in contact with Lord Zealous on SoulSeek (where he had another nick, I dob't remember now which one), he looked to me very involved in his project and, after he let me to download his demo, i asked him to send me a copy of it. I gave him my address and everything but he never send the demo to me. I never had the chance to ask him again abou that. So, is his demo real or is just another fake project. I mean, it could be real, i just bever saw his demo even if i gave him my address to send it.

Secondly, what a bout this band (only one) from Belize http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=17527 . They can be real, i think that Zygmunt is a reliable user, but do you really think that the picture posted is one member from the satanic and ant-Christian Bestial Lust?!?!!? Gosh, it looks like my retarded nephew trying to play on my uncle's drums while watching the camera with the sunday dress after the mess!!!
Bye

Midgard is real - tape was released by Winterreich. Look up the topic about Taabut - last posts.

Yeah Midgard are real and have a physical release 'WRR003: Midgard - Dawn of Martyrdom MC':
http://www.winterreich.com/releases.html

Re-released on tape by Winterreich Prods in 2005.

Footnote:
In my opinion this demo only released by Winterreich and not released by Lord Zealous (self-release)

5 Billion Dead, the genre tag does not seem to fit, it doesnt really sound like death metal, would a Metalcore/Mallcore tag work? Or even Metalcore/Nu-Metal, because they really sound like nu-METAL.

If they do end up belonging, use this thread.

That split with Hellsaw does not exist. The mentioned label had shut down in that year. See also websites/myspace of both bands which do not mention it. Varulv has not released anything at all.

Deleted.
