Predominantly punk/crust - does not belong.

I'm not so sure...that second song doesn't sound punk/crust. I'd like to hear more than two songs.

I think the song titles,label and distribution within the metal circles (theres no much connection of this band and the punk/hc/crust scene) on some ways make this band metal and they had tones of the bm and metal influences.Barbatos is punk more than metal but they are still in the archives.

I've a tape that features 5 bands with 2 songs each and 2 additional bands with just 1 track.
I'd like to submit 2 bands that are not in the database yet, but I'm unsure if this Tape counts as a Split release due to the 2 bands with just 1 track. The ones I want to submit had 2 songs each.

I submitted a band yesterday by the name of "The Broken Result", it's gone from the submission queue and its temporary link is 404'ing, so it's obviously been rejected. I included both photographs of their debut album and a sample of their sound - which leads me to believe that they were rejected because they are not metal enough. My "notify by email if your submission is rejected or accepted" box is checked, but I haven't received an email.

I'm not intending to argue about their sound, as you guys probably know more than I in this field, but I would like some confirmation.

If you mean this band, the it is nu-metal. They even state it in their bio.

In 1999, Louis Henn had a vision. To put together the heaviest nu-metal band in South-Africa, My Shade. Joined by Luan Kleingeld, Llewellyn Kapp and Joe Smith they dominated scenes locally and internationally. Sadly, My Shade ended in London 2005 when Luan and Joe decided to pursue different interests. In 2006 Louis tied the knot with Forever Will Burn, a band that would go forth to tour Europe with Sepultura. After some personal problems between band members, Forever Will Burn approached their end in 2007. It is in this time that Brad Saunders joined forces with Louis to form what would be known today as The Broken Result. With the experience behind them, they now sought to create something completely fresh. Drawing strong influences from classical music, they've formed a sound unique to themselves. They do not restrict themselves to a specific genre of metal. Instead they freely explore and experiment with an endless variety of metal genres. They go with the feel of Metal and give their songs what it needs, when it needs it.

The nu-metal band is a different one.

Not metal, grindcore.

Not metal, grindcore.

Did you read our guidelines and the rules here on this page?
Nothing but their music makes a band metal.

Barbatos is here, because they are metal enough. Otherwise they could not be here.
You have submitted so many bands and still do not know our basic rules?

Si tu crois obtenir quoi que ce soit avec un tel comportement, tu te fourres un doigt dans l'oeil. Va déjà lire les règles du site. Il y est clairement dit que le grindcore n'est pas accepté SAUF si c'est suffisamment proche du death metal. Il a été jugé dans le cas de ce groupe que ce n'était pas le cas. Respecte le choix des modérateurs et arrête de jouer la carte de la pauvre victime, c'est pathétique.

I have physical proof of the demo "hedensk skikk og tro".

Disguster, a Massachussets black metal band was rejected. Information on them is limited and they randomly appeared on Attila the Hun's blog; http://blackmetalownsyou.blogspot.com/2 ... -fear.html
they seem to have collected a solid online fan base also.
Is more information needed for them to be official?

Massive Destruktion Demo its almost finished, the songs are completed, the song Nations of Doom you can hear it on the page. the only thing left to finish its to print the copies and then we'll let you know where and how to get the demo.

Is there a particular reason the Russian metalcore band Kiborg was deleted? I think they're certainly on the metal side of the genre and would gladly upload a recent album of theirs to demonstrate.

Not metal and unless they have a relese with conpletely different style than the example below, do not bother with uploading:

They actually do; that split is extremely RAC oriented and really not at all like the sound they have on their full-length albums. The rest of their material is metalcore/groove/thrash oriented.

There's one of their recent albums.

Sounds rather nu-metal to me, like a combination of old Soulfly and Slipknot, till with hac punk influeces.

Check this out guys

The rejection notice was "Not metal; does not belong."

:lol::lol: what a joke. I'm done submitting for to these guys. There are countless bands on the archives that are far less metal than my submission which is 100% metal. Fact.

we do not force you to submit anything. Besides that, the band has no physical releases.
