I don't mean to be rude, but why does my post about Mystifier's tag keep getting ignored? I mentioned this about 2-3 years ago as well and no response was given. I'm pretty confident it's a valid correction as anyone who listens to them can probably agree their music isn't entirely black metal. There is significant death metal riffing present on all their albums, except maybe for the debut.

I didn't see you other posts, probably because I'm not around the thread as much as I should be. I'm pretty familiar with the band and agree with you, Black/Death Metal would probably be a bit more fitting.

PRECIOUS DEATH
http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Precious_Death
Listed as Power/Thrash Metal

A few of the following tags would be more fitting:
Crossover/Alternative/Avant-garde/Heavy Metal (1991-1994), Hardcore/Crossover (1994-1996), Hardcore/Pop punk/Grunge (post-1996) or anything of the sort.

SUICIETY
This is an older post of mine... posting again:
Based on which album was this labeled Thrash Metal?
http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Suiciety/3540288915

All I hear is Grunge with heavy metal leanings. Almost discardable.

This is the ugliest genre I've ever seen in my life.

I don't actually have the time to listen to them right now but man you're gonna wanna find something considerably more succinct than that.

As stated above, those are mere suggestions. The genre is wrong, that's all I know. Having to come up with the perfect tag isn't my thing really. Do as you see fit.

This is not thrash metal:

I listened to these and there's no hardcore, crossover, pop punk or power metal in this. There might be a trace of thrash but not enough to warrant it in the genre in my opinion. Let me take this to the Mod forum. Frankly, I'm not even sure the band belongs here at all.

The first record is very borderline alt-metal. The other two LP's could be listed as straight Grunge - and I can't think either would be accepted on their own.

Thanks for taking the time to do this, TUA. Appreciated. Glad we agree there's neither Power nor (that much) Thrash.

Hi everyone, Insane Attitude is reported as thrash metal on metal-archives but if you listen to the band stuff it's death metal... On the official youtube chan of the band you can listen to a live song and all the tracks from the demo.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyh9Pb ... ClyhHd_bbg

If you agree with me, please correct the genre on metal-archives. Thanks.

Any input on this? Ultimately, my suggestions would either be "Blackened Gothic/Heavy Metal" or "Blackened Heavy Metal/Deathrock"

Act of Impalement is tagged as doom/black but I think death should be added. Every song is death/doom based. I just think it should be death/doom/black on the tags. Here's the death doomiest song.

Just a post regarding Paradise Lost's current genre;

Their latest full-length, entitled ''The Plague Within'' resembles the epitome of gothic metal and thus should be classified as such. Nothing ''rock'' in here- which, acording to my point of view, was absent at the ''Tragic Idol'' too.
Plus, as far as their latest work goes, it has many doomy elements. So, I'd update the (later) era as gothic/doom metal. Below I attached two tracks that prove my statement.

Also the Italian webzine Italian Extreme Underground report the band as death metal instead of thrash metal on this link:

Thanks

After someone brought the band to my attention, I remembered this Wotan went to thrash and later death metal, so I thought I'd bring it up here.

Their 1991 demo, which is thrash: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ol8nvJEAP7s

Their 1992 demo, which I'd probably call death/thrash: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJYobLJXATE

Their 1993 demo, which is death metal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0LDEh2rTmU

Thanks.

I took care of a few of these.

Taken care of "Post-".

You are right. Maybe this should be explained a bit better in the rules. People should be more cautious when it comes to "constructing" the genre for a band.

Aside from this, looks good...

Any news for this?

http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Alpha_Drone/25176

Is one album (out of two) enough to add some sort of drone/doom genre to the, uhm, genre? (Awesome sentence construction, right there.)

https://alphadrone.bandcamp.com/album/for-ana

http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Funeral_Oath/41785

Not a disputed genre, so much as an incomplete one. It should be updated to "Death Metal (early), Vking Metal (now)", per the notes.

That's fine as it is. We only base genres on released material.

btw, I know this thread has a reputation for excessive sluggishness, but I'll try to take a look at all pending suggestions soon.

Took care of most of the stuff from this page and the previous one.

Can someone correct a few wrong genres?

Don't mean to sound like a jerk, but in no way, shape or form did Rotting Christ ever play grindcore... They had black metal elements, which they switched to gothic in their middle period and now they're a well-established extreme metal band.

"extreme metal band" hahaha....

You don't sound like a jerk, more like you don't now what you are talking about. You also have a set of swinging, pendulous cajones for playing moderator and assessing genres for us. Next time, we'll ask you if we need your expertise.

What do you think about this one?:
http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Mysore/3540326862

It's melodeath metal, but they also have songs that sound similar to melodic groove metal and metalcore. Internet right now is slower than a snail, but I've checked their music at a long time ago and I believe that their musical genre should be updated. Check their youtube channel:
http://www.youtube.com/mysoreband

Hey, I'll share, too! Bands like Cannibal Corpse don't have the genre of their early demos mentioned, why do Rotting Christ? I don't think it's relevant.

Probably because the jump from thrash to death metal is really small and natural so one demo isn't worth setting aside for it, while grindcore to black metal, especially in the early 90s, is much bigger and more of a noteworthy novelty.

Cannibal Corpse was a bad example. Better example would be Demoncy, their first demo is death metal, I believe, but they're just listed as a black metal band because obviously they are a black metal band.

I feel like it's a case by case thing. If it's a big band like Rotting Christ, Cryptopsy, Darkthrone, Celtic Frost, etc, they'll warrant some sort of mention because they're such important and popular bands, whereas Vomit Sodomy's one USPM demo isn't worth much of a mention amidst such a huge, obviously black metal discograhpy..

Funny you mention Celtic Frost, since they only have the genres of their first and last albums, whereas two decades of avant-garde metal are ignored. If anything I'd mention that and sort the last album into that instead of having an extra genre for one album only to ignore the vast majority of their career.

For Paradise Lost i suggest

Doom/death/gothic metal(early)
Gothic/Synthrock(mid)
Gothic/Doom metal (later)

Hi,
i submitted a band called Sable Beldam (http://sablebeldam.bandcamp.com/album/t ... s-stranger), since i was unable to identify the main genres i submitted only as Heavy Metal and was accepted s Heavy Metal.
But when i listen bands that play heavy metal and i earing this ep it's cleary that is more tha only heavy metal, so what they play?

Would you consider this (Ill Neglect) metal? If it is, it's borderline at most - it's more like chaotic hardcore if anything, but a second opinion is always welcome. I doubt that the band was blacklisted, but I might be wrong! There are definitely some sludgy/grindy riffs present, but probably not to an extent where the band would warrant an entry to the archives.

Cheers!

No pre-checks. Submit the band and see what happens.

Will do when I'm done with my nightshift and got some sleep I'm not too sure however what to put as a genre. Oh well, maybe things will be clearer when I'm not as tired.

EDIT: Just realized I posted in the wrong thread, since they don't yet exist on the archives! My bad.
