I would like to inquire about why Demon Hunter is blacklisted. I am new and I very recently joined to specifically put this band on and learn about more great bands. All I need is a sort of explanation, if that is ok with you. Thank you for reading.

I'm interested to know, what do you guys think of the Norwegian band Shining? I know they were rejected from the archives when Blackjazz was released, but what about now, with their new album One One One? I've heard some stuff from that album and it sounds more like a conventional metal album while still having the experimental jazz elements. What do you guys think?

I have no idea what to think since you didn't provide any music from the album you say is metal enough. :)

My bad, I wasn't sure if there were mods that already heard them considering they aren't just a random unheard 1-demo band.

Here's a link to their soundcloud, there are a few songs from the album you can check out.
https://soundcloud.com/shining/theoneinside

To ME it sounds more metal, but it's up to you guys if they are metal enough for the archives. It's not like I had a submission ready, I was just curious.

EDIT: Despite their last album being titled "Blackjazz," I'd consider this to be a closer to industrial. Again, personal opinion.

Hello.
I am Xasthuriath, a person behind the project Life's Illusion. It has been on hold for a while, but recently I brought it back to life and released physical copies. I was trying to submit a band and it turned out it is blacklisted.
I am wondering why did that happen.

Shining: Huh, jazz influences? This sounds like spastic Static-X meets Marilyn Manson. Definitely not metal.

Life's Illusion: Based on the material I found on Youtube, it's primarily dark ambient/acoustic.

The Shining album Blackjazz has lots of jazz influence as well as guest vocals from Grutle Kjellson. This album, not so much. Not that it really matters because that album was rejected anyways.

It is not.
here you can check the videos of earlier and latest tracks by Life's Illusion, which are depressive black metal. This project has never been dark ambient/acoustic.

OK, it has been there so many times (and it will be for sure) ... Why the band I submitted had been blacklisted even before it was visible for anyone ... ?

They are not metal enough ???

Thanks in advance for reply explaining the reason for this pre-action.

Another user submitted it before you and it was rejected. I'll give it a listen, I'm well seasoned in metalcore and hardcore.

Update: It's a close call, some tracks are on the borderline of acceptable metalcore, but at least 3-4 of them are predominantly hardcore with some metal. The rules require that a release be predominantly metal, and this is not. Hardcore mixed with metal, but not predominantly metal.

If you take away the lead vocals - is it really more hardcore then metal? In my opinon the vocals is the punk element in DKV's mixture. They were never close to hardcore in any way. There is less breakdowns than in Dying Fetus / Suffocation. But if SlipKnot, most deathcore and modern progressive metal (djent) is not metal enough then it is not a surprise that DKV had been rejected.

Yes, the guitar riffing is more hardcore than metal.

The first track is not metal in any shape or form. The second one has some discernible riffing, but it doesn't appear to be on the tape release, while the first song linked is. The other track on the tape is also not metal. The unreleased material of a band doesn't interest us, what is important is a consistently metallic release.

Fair enough. Maybe they've changed their sound. If you check out these songs, especially "Control" you may reconsider. I hear metal riffs, even a guitar solo. No breakdowns, et http://www.reverbnation.com/bornbrokenmusic

Huh? There are breakdowns at 2:28 and 3:26 in that song. It's more on the hardcore side of metalcore, there's one metal riff used a bunch of times in this song but in general it's more hardcore than metal. I listened to another song and it's almost entirely hardcore. Seems to be blacklisted accurately.

Ehm....I submitted a band from China called 鋼鐵木偶 (Steel Puppet).
My brother, who works in Fuzhou, got their demo. He told me it was made in 50 copies and sold at local gigs only.

Now I see my submission was refused:

http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/%E9 ... 3540370530

Despite I sent links with scans of the Demo EP (front, back, inside, CD with printed artwork) it seems I need to give some samples....where can I find samples online?

I have their Demo Ep in my hands but how can I send samples?

If you can't find any samples online, there are several things you can do: You can rip the disc to a computer and upload the songs to a file-hosting site such as MediaFire, RapidShare, or even YouTube, or even just play the music and record it through a microphone, then upload that/those recording(s) to one of the aforementioned sites, and (with either of those two options) afterwards post the URL(s) in the submission notes for a mod to download and evaluate upon you resubmitting the band. Then there's the possibility a moderator may even allow you to simply e-mail them the songs, thus avoiding the task of uploading them, but the first option would be the best bet all around and the second would be the worst sound-quality-wise.

Now, I myself am not a mod, but you don't need one to tell you this. :P

I want to submit also another band from my town.

I got the Demo many years ago and also the Mp3 files downloaded from this blog:
http://audioheaven-alexcro.blogspot.it/ ... -1993.html

But I lost both the Demo (gave away many years ago to somebody) and mp3 files (deleted my hard disk) and the old link in the blog does not work anymore.

I found the guitar player's blogspot with a short biography and information about the band:

http://simohome.blogspot.it/2008/08/sar ... aotto.html

Is it enough? I am trying to find somebody who ripped it, or I will ask the Audioheaven blogspot if they can re-upload it, so to bring some samples

Their material so far has been judged unacceptable. Seems to be another one of these tricky "blackgaze" bands. Let's wait until the release of "Grief" (October 21st) and then check the album in its entirety.

Just tried to add BLIND FACES (Speed / Thrash from Probszella / Germany), but it was rejected cause the demo cover is missing as a proof of existence. Here it is:

I hope the moderators will add the band now.

Ok, that's better, Sceiron. Can you add that picture to the submission notes, along with a picture in which the tape is clearly seen? Then resubmit.

Could you please do it? Before becoming a mod, I had to do it several times (did not have a camera) and it wasn't that big of a deal.

No way to put a piece of plastic onto the glass of my scanner...!!!
Very strange that you mistrust the authencity of the release when I sent tracklist, year of release and the demo cover...!!!
I am collector and fan since more than 25 years, so you can be sure that I don't add any fakes here.
We played some shows (with my old band) with BLIND FACES between 1993 & 1994...this should be proof enough I think.

Hi,
Trying to submit Epta Astera and it looks like they're on the blacklist. I think someone submitted them a few years ago before they had a legitimate metal release, but now they've got a few. A doomy sort of folk metal.

For listening: http://eptaastera.com/music/semper/

Proof of release:

(I don't have the CD itself anymore, but looking through the rules, it should still count as a legitimate digital release anyway)
