Can a moderator revisit my submission and possibly approve of my black metal solo project listed as a band on the archives, it has been approved for sale so I don’t see why one would call it just “noise” this has been my black metal project for the last 15 years. Could a moderator listen to this sample regarding this appeal & potentially approve? https://youtu.be/ln3X4w7bT7c?si=w11xSofh0aKAD74N

It may be black metal from your perspective, but it's not black metal by the site's standard. Zero riffs, just something that could be called a wall of noise/ambient with harsh vocals and drums. Even if the track you linked is metal, it's still not enough for the whitelisting since it's just one track on an unacceptable streaming platform.

My solo project Archaic Path was blacklisted as “not a black metal band” I have a new 2024 full length release. Could someone from metal archives look at this for my appeal?https://archaicpath.bandcamp.com/album/icy-abode-of-the-hyperborean-majesty

I'm afraid that still sounds mostly like a wall of noise without much riffing. Sorry.

*Please note that the production is intentional and this is recorded analog intentionally.

From reading this it seems to me that a very brief listen to my new material was given. it seems to have been immediately turned down. The album times in over an hour. The riffing is very intricate and very technical at times. I have spent hundreds of hours with this release & I don’t believe it is a “wall of noise” “without much riffing” as described. this is just my own opinion.
