Scale the Summit:

Though I do really love these guys, I find their music to have more rock influence than metal. It's even stated in one of their blogs that the band doesn't consider them metal.

Witness:

Semi-Death - apparently no physical releases.

Here's something I submitted long before the worldwide distribution rule came into existence, Maniac's Voluspå. The demo is self-released, the split was released by The Ajna Offensive, which I think is rather small, underground-ish label.

Releases? None according to their Myspace.

By the way, here's an older post from Derigin regarding band comparisons:


The reason I bring this up is because I've been doing some thinking about Flower Travellin' Band, whose inclusion is usually justified by comparisons to Black Sabbath. Now, I have most of their discography, and they definitely are very similar to Black Sabbath in many ways, but I feel that these similarities are almost exclusively restricted to the non-metal elements of Black Sabbath's sound. There are plenty of parallels to Sabbath's bluesy roots and their mystical, psychedelic approach, but I fail to hear any crushing, metallic "Symptom of the Universe" sort of riffs in any of their music. I dunno, you'll probably disagree with me, but I thought it might be worth discussing...

There's a few moments on Satori that are definitely metal (that one song with the big electric funeral vibe, forget which one). Predominantly metal, though? Well, that's another matter entirely.

Yes, I actually agree with you upon listening to it, since I accepted it based on several reviews without samples back then. I will look on it later - no time at the moment

I contacted the band and they said they have some CD.

Here is the answer:

The same Demo / Different band? Tracklist is the same.

WRETCHED ( Maryland) http://www.metal-archives.com/release.php?id=102238

WRETCHED (Illinois) http://www.metal-archives.com/release.php?id=252682

P.S I remember old flyers from Illinois band with Demo adds so I think Marylands WRETCHED demo is incorrect.

From the looks of it the demo belongs to the thrash band.

Yes, it's definitely from the Illinois band.

Deleted Blizaro, predominantely progressive rock.

Boohwal was reprted as never being metal, so I downloaded Vol.1 and they were right - mostly rock ballads with one or two hard rock songs mixed in.
Deleted.

Why has this been deleted now?? I emailed to complain and I got a reply from someone who says he doesn't really know why it happened.

Physical evidence - check
band is metal - check

I do not see there any evidence of a physical release. If you have it, present it.
Amd also read the first post in this thread which speaks about physical evidence.

Well, the first post of this thread has nothing because he was posting in the wrong thread.

I have removed Capitan Flynn - hard rock.

I've been thinking about saying something about that for a while.

This is the same band:

http://metal-archives.com/band.php?id=84136

"totally unique and original surrealistic chamber music with Devil Dollish vocals and insane synths"

http://web.archive.org/web/200405100421 ... otapes.htm

The two others (not the split) had the same description. I added them a while ago to the additional notes. They are on an archived version of dragonthrone productions, though.

Calm (Fin)

I contacted Narqath about this a while back and he said he only had given the rehearsal out to friends.

Vile Intent

Powerviolence, not metal.

(Song player at the top right of the page)

Is there a way to see what bands are being deleted when users are just posting the links without the bands' name? I always seem to click the links too late. It's obviously not too important, I'm just curious.

If the band has had a spot on the Archive for a considerable length of time (long enough to be captured and archived by Google, that is) then you can always put this into the Google search option in the Encyclopaedia search function (under band name, line-up, etc.):

/band.php?id=(insert band ID)

For me, it works most of the time. Of course you can't view the page (unless Google has a cache of it), but the name is displayed.

Awesome, thanks.

Deleted Maldoror from France, which was listed as Industrial Black Metal - not metal at all, just piano ambient music.


Well, there are traces of metal on their album "Hermeneutics", which can be heard here:
http://www.nordncommander.com/rus/audio.htm
(it was released physically by More Hate Prod.)
though the guitar sounds suspiciously to me, sometimes it seems that it was programmed.
