As the rejection email you got said, upcoming releases aren't acceptable. Please wait until November 4th.

Nothing is lost. The draft can simply be resubmitted.

So is there a staff consensus on the whole "blackgaze" thing? Does it work in the same vein of the "more-metal-then-core", or "more-black-then-gaze"? Or is it something that isn't added on the site?

At the risk of blowing your mind, if it's more metal (black metal) than non-metal (shoegaze/post-rock), then it's acceptable.

According to the blacklist, it was deemed to be "tech/prog deathcore". Not metallic enough by the site's standards.

The band "Dyed In Grey" (united states) has been blacklisted? They had a release May 2013:

http://www.amazon.com/The-Abandoned-Par ... +abandoned

https://play.google.com/store/music/alb ... dqoi&hl=en

I was unable to add the band, they are definitely metal and have met all submission rules?

They're not "definitely metal". According to the blacklist, it is non-metallic djent/mallcore.

@OpsiusCato: "non-metalic djent/mallcore"? ..mallcore...?? how can someone take this seriously if you classify bands with fabricated sub-sub-genres. Your standards for metal are corrupted and your ears have betrayed you. You can cancel shipment on my members only jacket, thanks.

That blacklist note is a bit weird, not because of the terminology per se, just considering what I'm hearing, but I'd agree that the band is not metal. Prog-y, technical stuff, hardcore-based.

Hey Buddy I think you didn't listen to our music... I don know where is the Noise and the non metal riffs... We have 2 guitars and 1 bass. Drums are clean and 0 noisy... please reconsider this... MA includes band as of our genre like Spasm, Gutalax. Fecalizer and Paracoccidioidomicosis and many more.... I think that Fecal Addiction hard work and professionalism must be recognized ( as you may note we are all members of other death metal bands *** http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Pur ... 3540356272 - http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Reb ... 3540332080 ) ...

Listen to our Metal / GoreGrind. I think we have similar sound to Gutalax and Spasm style: Please take a few minutes to listen to our stuff:

Some songs sound acceptable, others are borderline. Without a full release to listen to and evaluate, I'm not comfortable unblacklisting the band until we can be sure you've a 100% obviously metallic release in your discography. Bands like Spasm, Fecalizer and Paracoccy are here because at least one of their albums are fully metal. So the whole "but you accepted X, why not Y?!" argument will never work.

Also, we don't judge on live performances. We judge bands by their recorded material.

Probably this? Genre: Neoclassical

The non-metal bands on the site generally were metal at some point, or are somehow relevant to the scene, as a side project or otherwise.

The justification for rejecting the band is that it's dark ambient/neoclassical. If you're hinting at the few non-metal projects in the database, -as RonimuZ said- those are selected exceptions/side-projects, usually by notable musicians within the scene. Doesn't mean we accept any non-metal project by any random musician who also has a metal band.

Also, German? If so, then residing in Venezuela, it seems.

You're talking about Aether, right? Well I don't doubt that the band exists.
But these Eps wouldn't be valid digital releases even if they were available for download.
So the Ep(s) need to be released physically. If that's the case you need to provide proof. For example take a photo of the cds if you own a copy. If you don't you'd need to link to a place where you can buy the ep(s) (bandcamp, a distro etc) or quote an official source where the band advertises it for sale.
That's all written in the rejection messages you got.

Because people were incessantly submitting it before the album's release date. Can be submitted now.

No valid physical or digital distribution. Ergo not acceptable.

Yes, predominantly mathcore/grindcore. I posted them in the "Why was band X accepted?" thread about a month ago.

Guys,

what about Apologeos? here you can find photos of their released album "Ópera Prima", its a LP album:

http://s738.photobucket.com/user/smosqu ... 7.jpg.html

http://s738.photobucket.com/user/smosqu ... 1.jpg.html

That proves that Apologeos have released a full album, thanks for you time.

Please don't tell people things like this when you're not a mod. The guidelines for valid digital release are just that, guidelines.

However, in this case, two original songs and a cover totaling about 18 minutes of material (seven of that being a cover) isn't quite enough for us. If the band does a physical release of this EP, or creates a more substantial digital-only release, then they can be resubmitted.

iamntbatman, I've only repeated uglur's words from the post written before.

Probably some mods interpreting rules in their own way. How many mods, so many rules.

Gelordum, just refrain from mini-modding COMPLETELY. There are MANY staffers that can repeat uglur's words, so we don't need you to do so.

Also, there's something you have to keep in mind:

Whenever a moderator tells you NOT to do things, just stop doing them. Thanks.
