Hi

I have tried to submit my band Diseased Maggotectomy however we appear to be blacklisted. .. Not 100% sure why this is? It is possible I tried to submit the band about 12 years ago before we had any real output, this is no longer the case and we now have a number of releases that could be considered.

If it is possible to get some clarification on this I would be most appreciative. Thanks!

Blacklisted just a few months ago for being non-metallic goregrind.

Was that based on anything in particular? We have a bunch of stuff that could be considered more in the doomy / death metal side of things....

Zombie Eating Horse has been banned for one reason or another, not sure why, however they are a Metal/Hardcore band from Los Angeles, California they share members with LA Metalcore band Antagonist, the band has a split EP with LA Death Metal band Infinite Death, they also have a full length album and an EP that was recently released physically and digitally, the band is heavily influenced by Sepultura, Pantera and Deftones

Zombie Eating Horse is listed as "groove/-core" but with no date to the blacklist note, which means it was blacklisted a while ago and I see on the link they released an album a month ago or so - so we can re-evaluate this. I don't have any access to ITunes right now but if any mod with an account wants to evaluate the LP, go ahead.

I have tried to submit LEAD COFFIN from Spain (you can listen all of their works here https://leadcoffin1.bandcamp.com/) but I receive an email telling that "Not a metal band (...) Seems to be more punkish/crusty than metal."
I think that if other bands like Cripple Bastards or Insect Warfare appears on the Encyclopaedia Metallum, Lead Coffin could be included too.

Hey guys, just making this post to inquire about getting Astraeus from Denver, Colorado added to the archives. We only had the single upon first rejection but now the full length is out and the proof of this is right here at https://astraeusgroove.bandcamp.com/album/virtuous and it is currently being distributed through Tunecore which will make it readily available through various music streaming outlets. As of today, Astraeus should be legit.

Thanks

Ruido Noise, please read the opening post about comparing bands (Cripple Bastards were approved based on a single album, e.g.).


Accepted today.

Thank you

Why Ordnung (Brazil) and Raspail (Italy) are blacklisted?
https://www.facebook.com/TreueOrdnung/
https://raspail1.bandcamp.com/releases
Ordnung is a usual raw black metal, and Raspail is black/doom metal with post-metal influence and few ambient tracks.
Please examine them again.

Please, what is "not metal" about Archeonic? I seriously wonder in which of the rules it fails to qualify.

Music here https://archeonic.bandcamp.com/

EP already out on digipak CD.

Thank you.

Has Meliora (2012) ever been assessed? Or had the band been already blacklisted prior to its release? There are still some mathcore elements but I hear a sizeable dose of atmo/prog post-/sludge metal in there, especially towards the second half of the album.

I said Cripple Bastards just like an example, the main theme is that I don't understand why someone says that Lead Coffin is not a grindcore band. The grindcore is a style not closed to other musical influences and If a band has some sounds of other styles don't mean that they are out of a musical genre.

Blacklisted in 2013 for being djenty. I'm very inclined to agree.

When you have to invent some abstruse genre mashup like mathcore/atmo/prog post-/sludge it's safe to say that it is probably unacceptable.

Sounded like some of the bands tagged as such on here, Dia.
EoH, dude, in orange this time! Sounds cool. As long as it's been fully assessed, so be it.

Hello!
Why In Extremo now is not exist on metal-archives? I remember this band was here. What happened? If i'm wrong - sorry!

I'm surprised to see that my submission (Venomous Skeleton) got rejected.

They have recorded a demo (so it's shorter than 20 minutes, but it's definitely not a garage rehearsal) and published it on bandcamp, and now they even got signed to Ván Records. What is it that makes them not a "valid" band yet?

See the rules on digital releases. Generally, we require a full-length, professional release for digital-only bands, or at least ~20m or so. If they're signed, just wait until a physical release is out.

Why was Courvoishit #7 from Indonesia blacklisted?

It was being constantly resubmitted with no proof of anything whatsoever. The user was told to stop, the user wouldn't stop, badaboom-badabing, it got blacklisted.

Here's the sample:

Label selling CD bundled with t-shirt. And the CDs out today. Dec 24th is today in Indonesia.

I would like to know why Cydemind (Canada) is blacklisted. The band plays instrumental progressive metal:

https://cydemind.bandcamp.com/track/what-remains-single
https://cydemind.bandcamp.com/album/thr ... nd-ages-ep

I would submit the band if it got unblacklisted.

Whitelisted.

Blacklisted in October 2015 for being folky Prog Rock.

Why is King Bird (Brazil) blacklisted?

Hard rock

14 Dec 2016 we here had a nice discussion about blacklisted Atmospheric Doom/Death (as for me) band Raspail from Italy.
https://raspail1.bandcamp.com
I do hope Mr. Metantoine haven't forgot a promise to re-listen it...
And - if it's possible - can (preferably) Mr. Azmodes find some time for this project too?
I believe in his music experience

Why is Hungry Lights blacklisted?

There's some prog oddities, but just about all of the songs were immediately identifiable as metal to me...

Hi guys,

My Disinhibition submission (http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Dis ... 3540421117) got rejected, and the message says I did not provide proof of a physical release. However, I provided the following bandcamp link from which you can buy a physical demo on cassette: https://disinhibition.bandcamp.com/releases

This is a finished and final mix of a short demo that is available physically, which I thought was grounds for a band to be accepted. Direct link to an image of the cassette: https://f4.bcbits.com/img/0009016715_10.jpg

I also saw this same cassette for sale at a Streetlight Records near my house, I can photograph that if the album needs to be for sale in stores.

Thanks

^ Dishinhibition isn't blacklisted, go ahead and resubmit

This one's an unusual case, but hear me out.

https://www.discogs.com/Bohren-Langspie ... se/6576444

Bohren. Shortly thereafter renamed to Bohren & der Club of Gore. Everything they've released past the cassette linked above is of a Dark Jazz variant, but the band described that first demo as "a cross of Abscess and early Venom." This isn't that surprising, because members of the band were at the time just recently in Chronical Diarrhoea, a Thrash Metal/Crossover band that is in the Archives [ http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Chr ... hoea/60505 ]. Discogs, as you can see, describes the demo as "noisy metal hardcore" and "metalcore." RateYourMusic has it labelled as "Punk, Doom Metal"[ https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album ... lkassette/ ].

I figured it was worth looking into. And I found a download link -

http://tapeattack.blogspot.com/2016/11/ ... -gore.html

I don't know if it is metal enough or not. I hear doom metal riffs buried in the mix, but I'm not sure if they're enough. Still, I figure the status of this release should be settled and dealt with. If it is metal, then the band deserves to be here. If it's not, then at least the case has been settled.

Please listen and judge if it is metal enough to be added. Thanks!

Citing the very first line in the first post:



Seriously... does anybody even bother reading the guidelines before posting? It would easily pare this thread's size down by at least a third.

Sorry. You're right, I should have just submitted it. I'll do that.

That is an interesting find, though! Even so, if it turns out to be musically acceptable, I don't think it would constitute a page for Bohren & der Club of Gore as a whole, only for this first shortened (well, un-lengthened) name, considering the name and (allegedly) radical genre change.

But yeah, submit and see.

Thanks!

And I agree. I submitted it simply as Bohren, with the demo as the only release and "Changed name" as the status.

If it's accepted, it'll be up to the moderators to decide if the Bohren & der Club of Gore discography should be added too. It's the same lineup and the name is just lengthened, so one could argue that it's the same band. But the genre change is quite radical (save for one interlude on the demo that has a jazzy atmosphere similar to the music they'd later become known for releasing).

I've listened to the demo multiple times. It's noisy, psychedelic and doomy, reminds me of really early doom metal and proto-doom. There's riffs, but the bass is most prominent in the mix.

Hey,
What does the blacklist note on Morfetamin (CZ) say?

Mallcore.
