Just found out that the Tunisian band Znous has been blacklisted. I assume it's because they were more on the hardcore punk side than metal, but I would most definitely consider them metal. Especially their newer material. Here are some examples I'd most definitely consider metal.









Obviously punk influenced, but these are riffs from all kinds of metal types. It's not just hardcore punk with a strong metal influence, but a blend of all kinds of metal, with some punk spicing.

Hi, we need more than a handful of songs on youtube - for a band to be accepted they need at least one full release that is majority metal - so a few tracks here aren't going to change the blacklisting. Can you provide some links to where we can listen to releases in full to do a proper check? Thanks

Here is their Bandcamp page.

Edit: three of the songs are from Znousland 3.

Well, Znousland 3 is certainly less obvious hardcore than the first 2 - I'm going to whitelist it based off that. Put it in the queue and we'll see what other mods think.
