It's been brought up many times in this thread, but nothing is said or done about it. Fact is, it definitely cannot be a side-project since its first releases are earlier than any metal releases the guy partook in.

Also THIS Brasilian Prog/Kraut/Whatever Rock band.In this case I downloaded all albums of ALPHA III and there's no sign of Metal there(Except some Rush like guitars in some places).This band should be deleted right now.No importance for Heavy Metal Music history or another sideproject rule.

I submitted Alpha III after a review on a big Brazilian metal magazine, describing it as symphonic power metal. But I'm more inclined to believe in your judgement. Deleted.

:lol: :lol: Are you serious? They play completely instrumental progressive metal. Listen to the samples. They were discarded way too quickly after someone peeped about it.

Anyway, they were rightfully rejected- a mixture of alternative rock and progressive rock, not really metal.

The additional notes state that this is a side project yet there is no worldwide distribution. However, I can't find any real information anywhere else on the web to neither affirm or deny this claim.

Was any proof for a physical release of the Fröstskög demo(s) ever provided? The covers are purely computer generated, and the bit about being limited to 7 copies doesn't lend to its credibility...

Why exactly are Autumn Tears and Dark Sanctuary in the archives? Neither are metal or have any clear ties to any older metal bands, but then both are somewhat well known (I would think) and have been here since 2002, meaning they probably have been discussed before. Still the question lingers, why exactly are they allowed on the archives? If you don't want to remove them that's fine, I am just curious why. :)

The former is here because they are a selected exception. See below:

guidelines wrote:
Additionally, there will be some non-metal bands featured on the site that we feel are still part of the metal scene despite not being metal themselves (usually darkwave, ambient, neo-classical and/or folk bands, examples being Mortiis, Elend, Autumn Tears, Stille Volk, etc). These bands are selected by the moderators in an admittedly arbitrary fashion, and their submission by normal users is discouraged. Please bear with us on this.


I don't know about the latter band, but their case is probably similar/the same (side project maybe).

Something is telling me I should've reviewed the rules before posting here.... :oh shit:

Thanks though.

How come Tricky Beans was accepted this time? They've been rejected many times before for not being metal enough. Was some new demo of theirs discovered or was the mod who accepted them just not paying attention?

http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=3540309768

(it's an insignificant name change between Tricky Beans and Tricky Means anyway)

Yes, it was reported by the band members.


As I see it, I will stop listing deleted bands here and when somebody wants to ask about a certain band, he should use the proper thread.

I already did the formal report through the "report this band" function, but I'm posting it here anyways.
The recently band added:
http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=3540309942

Is already in the archives since 2005
http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=35829

There's a spelling error in the new entry so that's probably why the band was accepted.

Any idea why this band was accepted?
http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=3540309916
Release date according to both the label and band's official myspace is on 9 July. Still few days to go.

Why was Filtheater accepted? According to their Myspace blog, their cd isn't released until July 15th.

I think that guy casually knows at least one of the other mods. I'll see if they have any more detailed information about it.

Excuse me? Are you fucking retarded, or just trolling? I never heard of that band, ever, much less ever mentioned them. I asked HellBlazer if he knew the band and he said "the name vaguely rings a bell".

So why in Cthulhu's name would you post something asinine? I can only think of two reasons: extreme stupidity, and outright trolling. Considering it's you, not sure which is more plausible.


You know what, I'm tired of people, often veteran posters who really should know better, post this crap about us constantly. I'm considering making it a bannable offense because it really fucking annoys me.

I didn't mean any offense there, to be honest with you. Why would they be added here then? Jesu is not a side project as it's Justin Broadrick's main band. And in the FAQ it is mentioned that some bands are added here arbitrarily. So given the above criteria, it was only fair to jump to that conclusion. So what is the actual reason for them being here then?

These rumours stem from attempts at understanding or explaining why certain bands which are clearly neither metal nor side-projects seem to deliberately remain untouched despite being reported numorous times, appearing as if the staff was under orders to leave them untouched.

The most infamous example is probably Uruk-Hai (Aut), which, over the course of months or years, has been reported by at least half a dozen users in this thread alone for clearly not being metal (it's even listed as "ambient") and clearly not being side-project of a metal band (it was formed before the person behind it was involved in any metal release), but is so stubbornly ignored that the case is fertile ground for conspiracy theories involving site owner interference.

I can certainly understand how annoying this might be, but as I just tried to explain, it doesn't come from nowhere, and certainly doesn't originate in attempts at trolling. It's merely an attempt at understanding why certain things that clearly violate the site rules seem to be deliberately ignored time and again.

Jesu is just another case among many. It's not metal, it's not a side-project, yet it's been on the site for ages and nobody in the staff seems to take issue with it, and certainly not for lack of knowledge of the band's presence, as it is one of the more popular and spoken-about acts in the forum and reviewer community...

There are 74k+ bands on this site. So, no, it's not remotely fair to assume any such thing.

Since I already said I had never heard of the band, how should I know? I guess I got the answer to my other question, though.

So (in)famous that I've once again never heard of them either. Go figure.

What does there being 74K+ bands have anything to do with what I said? My post was specifically referring to side projects that don't meet the criteria of the side projects rule.

My ass. What I said could hardly be considered trolling. It was a legitimate claim. You're just looking for reasons to antagonize me. You blew a gasket for no reason.
