bizarre. there are no other MFN releases listed after 2003, so it makes sense. I don't have a copy (as I have the singles), but I remember it being reviewed in mainstream metal press :/ I'll see if I can get my hands on a copy.

thanks :)

My rejection said to provide a link to song samples. I can't recall, is YouTube an acceptable option?

For samples sure, not for proof of distribution since it is streaming-only.

Why is Kallus Valley (United States) blacklisted? Just curious. I believe this may have been an error.

Was Longfulness from Bahrain blacklisted for a lack of metalness? Just double checking, since they posted a picture of CDs.

Dude, Iron Lamb (project by ex-members from Repugnant) is total Motörhead-worship. I don't understand why this is blacklisted.

Not metal enough???

well yeah I know the last time MA reject extreme decay because their riff sound more grindcore / punk..
but maybe you guys should check their latest albums "Holocaust Resistance" (2010). I think is metal enough..

here's the download link to their album

Iron Lamb is borderline hard rock. The blacklisting does note the Motorhead influence, mind you.

Hi

I wanted to ask, what kind of bands get blacklisted, and what does that mean about the band? I mean, rejection is rejection, blacklist means what?

Well, bands can be rejected for a number of reasons, such as lack of a valid release, or failure to follow the submission instructions. Bands are blacklisted because they are irrefutably non-metal. This can be appealed later if they release a predominantly metal record, so it isn't permanent or anything. There are some rare occasions wherein bands are blacklisted because users continually submit them without proof, whether it is actually forthcoming or not.

Hello, wanted to provide the (little, but convincing I hope) metalness-proof for a band i submitted, Crimson Chariot (http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Crimson_Chariot/3540390481)

This song should suffice : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MZU0VFPivQ

As for the "valid release", I only have knowledge of "digital" exsistence of it (don't know if an actual physical copy will come out or not), so I don't know how to prove it in any way. As I've submitted on the release info, there's 3 songs in it including the one linked above.

Thanks for your time and sorry about the previous incomplete submission.

(edit: I could provide che "digital copy" of the above mentioned release, if need be)

Why did you select "CD" if the release is only digital? We do have a "Digital" category.

Well, it's metal, but if that release is all there is it's currently not acceptable. Digital releases need to be at least full-lengths or professional/sizeable EPs. Furthermore, I can't seem to find a public download for this, only a Youtube stream. Please make sure to have read and understood our requirements for releases (especially digital ones).

Today, I was about to add the band Brutal Cock (from Israel) and an advice appeared, stating that the band was formely blacklisted. I heard their songs recently and they sounded metal enough. Why it was blacklisted?

I blacklisted this back in March and the note says "Lo-fi clusterfuck". That could be more descriptively worded, I grant, but it doesn't look very good as far as metalness goes regardless. Can't recall 'em, so if you want the band re-reviewed, post links to songs, please.

Why are Demon Hunter, Raunchy, and Mnemic not on Metal Archives? There are similar bands of their styles that are in.

Blacklist notes don't divulge much, but that is a really weak foundation for an argument towards inclusion.

They are also very popular, well known bands who have certainly been brought up a bunch in the past. The general rule of thumb is "If they've been around a long time but aren't included, they're simply not metal 100% of the time".

In these cases, Demon Hunter, Mnemic an Raunchy are all Nu-Metal bands

They were mainly rejected that you didn't add any proof to the submission for metalness links and a proof of a release. Can you also link to some proof of distribution of the album?

Hey,

I just submitted a band called Vacant Sea about a week ago. It was rejected for "not being metal," which I would like to appeal.

This decision is understandable had the moderator clicked the link to listen to the most recent release, which was described on bandcamp as not being indicative of a stylistic change, and obviously not a metal song in and of itself. As the musician behind the project I would like to stress that it will be staying in the vein of releases prior to this one track.

However, in the submission notes, I linked to material that I believe to be post-black metal-ish/blackgaze-y.

This is the link which was submitted, which is some variety of post black metal. The second song takes a bit to kick in.
https://vacantsea.bandcamp.com/album/va ... g-kneeling

It has been released in physical format, of which proof was submitted with the band submission.

Thanks for your consideration.

Hello I have added additional information on the band Znafelriff, which was rejected. I was a little unclear what was missing. But have given a link for the bands latest official release, which I think was missing thank you. :)

Vacant Sea: Not a fully metal release, I'm sorry. There are borderline riffs at times, but it doesn't account for the majority of the sound.

Cult of Mourning: I removed the blacklist note; resubmit.

I rejected it because your submission was empty. And now I rejected it again because all you did was adding the band members before resubmitting. Please be sure to check my rejection notice.

Apologies for my slowness, I have read your note. I have added album information, in the bands "Discography" section. I have not resubmitted it yet. As I want to make sure I am correct with all the information needed, Thank you, MGT. :)

Haha, you can list three dozen of those second-party links that blindly claim certain genre tags, it means absolutely nothing to us.

Judging by the samples, this has some metal elements, but doesn't really feature consistent "metal" riffing. The blacklist note cites "nu-metal" and that doesn't seem too far off. Sounds like Slipknot or something along those lines.
