Just tried to submit the band THEREIN from Germany but have been rejected twice now Reason: no physical release but they do have one release. It´s a 3-track demo released in the beginning of this year, even downloadable from their homepage www.therein.de !!!
So, how to submit a band when it´s rejected every time?

Downloadable demo is not a physical release. Cd, Cd-r, Tape or DVd is.

Important reminders:

* The band must meet our requirements in terms of musical style: in other words, be "metal enough";
* The band must have already possess a physical release: in other words, a valid proof of its existence.

Well I said the demo is EVEN downloadable from their page! And a physical form also exists! I have a f**king copy of this CD in my hands!!!

Then show me a proof, a scan of the whole CD or a link to merchandise section, where the band sells it or a zine review, where it is stated.
And screaming will not help you a bit, learn, how the decisions are made here first.

Okay, the please let me know how to send you the scans. I´ll proove the existence of their release...

Place the links to te photos in the additional notes of the submission or flag the band with them.

You have to place them somewhere on the net first, of course.

I also can show this CD.I "have" it at home just it took a bit of time when I do a copy of front and back on printer

The links you gave are from the official site showing a computer-made cover. I don't tell the physical demo doesn't exist but as we have it here, it could be just a digital release.

Exactly.I wanted to say that its easy way to show "ProDone CDr".The best way to know the truth - contact the band.
