Why was Wynken Delirium blacklisted?

Well... it's grungy noise/alternative/stoner rock. Or something. That's why.

https://suicideforestblackmetal.bandcamp.com/releases - why blacklisted ?

There are many bands with that name that are blacklisted. Is this the project's first release? It might be acceptable.

yes, it's first release, i can't add it because it's blacklisted

Hi, Hguols was blacklisted. I don't know all of the project's material, but this album should be acceptable:

YouTube playlist

Physical copies are for sale from Thomas himself here, and the two people who replied to the thread attest to owning them.

Blacklisted in 2013 for being blackened industrial of the non-metallic kind. Have they released anything ever since that would warrant a re-evaluation?

According to the band's site, no. But I don't know - would the staff really consider the album I linked to be "blackened industrial"?...

Yes, that is what the blacklist note says after all.

Those videos are not available for me.

There are three tracks here: http://thecmr.forumotion.com/t4340-the- ... ance-offer
I can't hear the guitars. They're overlain by synths. Anyway, I think those'll work for you.
EDIT: In fact, there's no guitars according to the OP.

Why was the band Ignea blacklisted? They are from Ukraine.

Why was Particles of Lit blacklisted? They are from the USA. http://particlesoflit.bandcamp.com/

Prog rock (blacklisted in 2015)

@Ignea, they were blacklisted because they only had a 6 mins digital single. Do they have more material now? Link it.

Hi, i submitted a band but it got denied. It says the EP is short. But what the hell actuallly i see later uploads after me got EP shorter than the band i submitted. Also it's downloadable and official. Here's the link:
http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/SER ... 3540414031

Link us to one of those later uploads, then.

Digital-only releases are held to a different standard, i.e. ~20 minute minimum. 14 minutes isn't going to cut it.

EDIT: Diamhea beat me to it, so yeah, what he said.

Сферславь was rejected. Well they positioned themselves as Folk/Pagan Metal. Maybe I gave bad links
Here http://poiskm.org/show/сферславь
IMHO, "Линь За Хмари" and "У Пам"яті Білих Лілей" are metal songs.

There's three songs to this demo (one being an intro), and two of the songs were considered non-metallic folk music. That's mosty non-Metal, and as a result, unacceptable. The assesment was just done today.

Hi,

Recently went to submit a band to find it had been blacklisted, I followed the search function to find no entries about the band at all, thus couldn't find any information as to why the band was blacklisted.

The band is called The Hazard Circular, are from Melbourne, Australia. They have an E.P. released both physically and digitally at present.

If they have not yet been considered "metal" enough, the music can be listened to here: https://youtu.be/jC2hXfHSS8k

Thanks

The band Suicide Forest mentioned earlier is a new project and there is no reason to blacklist it. www.suicideforestblackmetal.bandcamp.com

Blacklisted based on this album for being djent (not metal) - sounds like core/djent to me.



There's actually another band with the same name, from the same country, with almost exactly the same album title ("Empty") - that's one of the reasons the name is blacklisted. This band seems to be metal, but I don't think I'd call this a valid digital-only release. The two metal tracks total ~20m and it sounds like all of the instruments are synthesized.

Thank you for responding in a timely manner. At a minimum I'll have a way to show we where First to use this Name. I will take the necessary action to fulfill the requirements. We Shall Continue this Band name. I look forward to submitting it successfully before someone else does on your site. We appreciate your efforts very much and look forward to carry this sentiment toward the site, personnel and members. Salutes!

Hi, i made a profile and tried to submit a band but it was rejected(it's my first time doing a profile here so it's reasonable to make some mistakes)is there any e-mail to send album photos of the band and etc.?

Hi guys,

I would like you to make a re-evalution on this band, Sonance from UK.

https://sonance.bandcamp.com/album/sonance-torpor-split

it sounds like Sludge/Post-Metal/Ambient for me.

Just resubmit the band and include links to show distribution of a valid release and links to samples of the songs. You can upload photos to www.imgur.com, if you need to and then put that link in the submission. If all else fails, you can send something to the e-mail in my profile.

I submitted Kevorkianesque but was rejected. When looking at the rules it seems like the only issue is that the EP is short, but that's typical for this style of slam/brutal death metal.

That doesn't matter. If it's too short, it's too short.

Hello. I'm sorry if this is an annoyance, because I know you guys dismissed the band a few years ago and it was probably discussed to death back in the day. But I'd like to ask if you guys could possibly reconsider Infant Annihilator based on their newest album, "The Elysian Grandeval Galèriarch." I think this album is brutal and heavy as fuck with really intense vocals. It's deathcore with riffing that is heavily influenced by technical death metal and there isn't as much chugging either. The album also isn't as breakdown-heavy as their first one is. I feel like this album would be enough to have them accepted onto the website and I'm wondering if the admins would feel the same. The album is streaming on YouTube. ---> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLrNGD4nGiM

I agree with you, but unfortunately these guys won't allow it for the sole fact that they have breakdowns and are classified as deathcore.

This thread isn't for users to intervene and add their two cents like this, especially when it is a band as oft-discussed as IA. Use the search function before interjecting your passive aggressive opinion, which by the way is a woefully incorrect generalization.

And that's why All Shall Perish, Impending Doom, As Blood Runs Black, Carnifex, Whitechapel, Despised Icon, Thy Art is Murder, and literally over a thousand other deathcore bands are here, right?

Dia's exactly right. This thread is mainly meant to be questions from users and answers from mods, passive aggressive crap like that is entirely unwarranted. Also, Infant Annihilator is a very popular band, which is both A) reason to use the search function since they've surely been brought up before, and B) reason to assume they've surely been vetted by the mods more than once and unless there's a new album to be brought up or something, it's entirely pointless to ask again.

Hi,

Why Luzver from Spain is blacklisted?

http://luzverhorda.bandcamp.com/album/the-entrance-2

Some idiot kept submitting it before the album came out. I have removed it from the blacklist.

I finally found Sakhet bandcamp

Want me to point which songs are metal enough, or gonna to listen all the band?

http://sakhet666.bandcamp.com/

Cheers

Also i got some materials of Armageddon Deathmaster.

from their first and only demo (until now)

What isn't "metal" about http://rickgrind.bandcamp.com/album/scheisse? Here's are two examples are sound fairly metal to me...
http://rickgrind.bandcamp.com/track/joh ... k-his-dick
http://rickgrind.bandcamp.com/track/joliet-cowboy

is it because Giraffe Amputation doesn't have their own dedicated page?

Please don't block me, I'm just trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Hexenslaught was rejected because "Tapes have shipped from press 2/8/2016 and will be with us 9/8/2016."
However, I entered the digital edition, and the Demo can be downloaded from the label's Bandcamp page as of yesterday:
https://invictusproductions666.bandcamp ... /demo-2016

Re-submitted.

Hiya! Does this mean that Infant Annihilator's newest album hasn't been considered metal enough? I felt like Soil the Stillborn and the like have very metal-esque riffs and could definitely be considered the passage into the metal universe. Was it too lacking?

Here's a link to the bandcamp with the album right there.

Dude, we've sent you the rules four times now. Take a read, please. Especially the part about a digital only release and the length it needs to be to be acceptable to the site. This is a 16-minute demo, which doesn't meet the qualifications. Just simply wait until the tape comes out.
