Hello my band After Death Alone been blacklisted 1 year ago because it consider post punk , which is totally wrong because we have nothing to do with post punk , we are black metalers in mentality and Musically most of all. This are some great albums we release after your rejection i hope you rethink the obvious that After Death Alone is Depressive Black Metal band. https://afterdeathalone666.bandcamp.com ... te-of-time (This is raw Depressive Black Metal album, total Length 27:57)
https://afterdeathalone666.bandcamp.com ... ion-things (this is our last release as a band, it was planed to be full album, but my band-mate and friend Patrick Rodgers died at Dec 25 2017 , so i release this two beautiful songs we had the chance to record together before his loss)
https://afterdeathalone666.bandcamp.com ... split-2017 (this is a split we did with two other brother Depressive Black Metal bands *which bands exist already on Metal Archives but After Death Alone not yet)
https://afterdeathalone666.bandcamp.com ... -homewards (this is a single cover song we did to the Atmospheric Black Metal band Summoning, as a great honor)

Now i am working hard to release 4 of my work in physical release as cassette with the help of Depressive Illusions Label ,

I am asking you to sacrifice some of your time and have a listen to my albums (*and if you have not much time listen them in order i linked them to you) , i am really sure that you will get convinced that After Death Alone is nothing more then a Depressive Black Metal band.Thank you for your time.

P.S. I will post you my physical releases as soon is possible out

As the resident Demon Hunter fan of the staff I can tell you that they're not metal per our standards.

The Czech band Excalibur was rjected for lack of proof of physical release. I know for sure, that the 2001 compilation albumwas released physically on CD-r, because it was reviewed in Czech Rockshock magazine. Unfortuanately, the refview is not available online , so I will try to present this: Exact info about the CDhttp://bandzone.cz/excaliburplzen/alb ... story.html The band with the album at the Hard Base database: https://hardmusicbase.cz/index.php?stra ... &alb=24720 The first two rleases of the band were demo tapes, not Cds.Detailed info about the first demo tape: http://bandzone.cz/excaliburplzen/album ... 86-88.html I will now also posts links to songs from the demo tapes on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guVj2-m2NCg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qHFYntYUYw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qlfUhtx-NM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qlfUhtx-NM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpJ2E6tGve0 The The Czech user commenting the Vříš metal video says- translated:"Interesting.... Ishould be able to dig up a cassete of Excalibur somewhere." That means, that he owns the demo physically. Please, tell me, if anything of this can be xconsidered a proof?

Hi...

I tried to add "Insane Driver" from Brazil, and got the message:
"Warning: a band called "Insane Driver" (Brazil) has been blacklisted! Your submission will not go through, unless your band comes from a different country; select the country in the drop-down to verify.
If you think this is an error, please ask in this forum thread. Attempting to circumvent the blacklist is a bannable offense. Thank you."

I followed the steps here, and used the search function, but could not find anything related to Insane Driver.

Could someone please, help me to understand the reasons of this blacklist??

Regards
Dan Bigal

It's been a week since I posted this. Any comments?

Hi,

Alternative /southern rock in 2016 if they have new material you can provide the evidences and apply for new evaluation.

Thank you.

How do I provide these new evidences??
Before to apply for a new evaluation, should I get any approval that the band was whitelisted (otherwise, I may be banned??)

Tks for the help

Hmm. If I remember correctly, they made a few albums that sound like some kind of metal to me.
In particular, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stille_(Lacrimosa_album)
Or is this album also not metal enough?

Danbigal: Post it here.

Ok guys...
So, for "Insane Driver" - Brazil, I have some references of the "metalness" here:

Why was 1476 blacklisted?

Blacklisted in 2017 for being a mixture of folk, punk, and metal, but not predominantly metal. If they have a new album, please link it here.

Can Spawn (Australia) be whitelisted on the basis of their new self titled CD EP?

https://spawnmelbourne.bandcamp.com/album/spawn-ep

Why were Dirty Dancing Pigs blacklisted? This seems pretty metal: https://dirtydancingpigs.bandcamp.com/releases

Still waiting pending. Added bancamp site with downloadable songs, what gives?

Dude, you just re-submitted this a few hours ago. How about being patient?


Non-metallic goregrind, 2013. Since this is a new album, I've whitelisted them for reevaluation.

Objecting Rejection of Wyvern as band.

Relevant EP link: https://wyvern.bandcamp.com/album/ensla ... -tolerance

Too short to be deemed acceptable as a valid digital release. There's a note that says "Physical copies are being hand produced". We're gonna need pictures of said physical copies in order for it to be considered for reevaluation.

Hi,

I would like to appeal to the rejection of Alisha Poor with this release: https://alishapoor.bandcamp.com/album/w ... f-solemesh
Best songs being Descent to Solemesh, It’s Alright, Fight and Necrodeath

Thanks,
NekrotikSovl

That album was assessed before the band was blacklisted. Try again after you release something new.

Not to get off topic, just wanna clear something up. Nekrotik is not Alisha Poor, unless she has an Australian alter-ego I haven't heard about.

I submitted Arsen aka König der Monster and it was rejected because 'We require proof that the band's music was released and distributed publicly. Do you have evidence to show that there are or were multiple copies being sold/given away publicly?' but I provided a link to their LP on the Narshardaa Records site and to a digital version of their 7'' on React With Protest's bandcamp page. For further proof here's their 7'' on React With Protest's page: http://www.reactwithprotest.org/bands.php?id=35 and their discogs page also shows their stuff was publicly released: https://www.discogs.com/es/artist/12355 ... er-Monster.

so why did it get rejected?

Why was The Last of Lucy blacklisted?



Since this post is from 2016, and last year they released a new material (Ashvattha), may I ask for re-evaluation?
I think they would qualify as progressive/technical death metal.
Their latest album can be checked below;

https://thelastoflucy.bandcamp.com/

I know, that the Swiss band Black Willows was blacklisted, but could they be reconsidered on the basis on their 2018 ep "Bliss"? This time, the band concetrates more on heavy doom riffs rather than oon psychedelic elements: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuEbkrd8U2w
Also, ccan I please get an answer on my question about the possible proof for Excalibur, which I have posted more than a week ago? Thanks.

Wrong House band submission was rejected for not being metal. Wrong, its metal and it should be allowed on this site. Thanks Please make the correction and put Wrong House on metallum.

I tried to add Nostalgia (CAN) but it says it's black listed. I have reviewed the material and don't see why it can't be submitted, it meets the sites standards. Thank you

Apparently blacklisted again for being "some kind of symphonic progressive -core". I'm not really arguing against the judgement of whoever evaluated the release (certainly will if permitted), but this kind of ping-ponging between whitelist and blacklist due to genre dispute is a bit problematic.

Blacklisted in 2016 for being rock. If they have a new release, provide a link to it here.

Why was Moonlight Asylum blacklisted?

Ebm/gothic rock, 2017.

Why is Gloryhole Guillotine blacklisted? Grind on the more "deathened" side.

*This is a depressive suicidal black metal band, please someone have a look and white-list us, because someone give us a wrong tag as post punk which depress us deeply, please if you have true metal hearts fix this mistake.It's not about my begging it's about the truth and fair and After Death Alone is black metal band that their place is on Metal Archives.This is my last attempt to participate my band here, with all physical releases as a proof of a true black metal band, tomorrow i might die , give the chance to the new metalers to find my band when they search for it on Metal Archives, thank you my Heavy Metal Salutes \m/

Another week has passed. I'm okay with a rejection, just want to make sure.

Yeah, I only said it'd been whitelisted for re-evaluation, not that it'd be a sure thing. Sorry. I usually prefer to make the final decision in this thread, to save time for both parties, but in that particular case I wasn't really sure.


Yeah, the release issue should be settled, but could you provide samples from No Gods...Only Monsters, please?


Whitelisted.

Just for clarification: I have reported Arsen aka König der Monster as an acceptable band with linkks to the whole No Gods ep on Youtube, link to their Discogs page and links to other full songs onYoutube, So I wondered, that it got finally rejected too. I did it in order to hhelp the user who submitted it. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5Jwe3lPvbA https://www.youtube.com/user/DisprofitBootlegs1
Also, please, can I get an answer on my questions about Excalibur and Black Willows? I am getting a feeling, theat they got overlooked.

Ok, thanks for clarifying. It's strange because with Omnipresence you had a some sort of case to blacklist them (I'm a bit more educated on -core these days), but with Future Diary I think you guys completely blew it If I want info on modern prog metal I'll just go somewhere else.

Nostalgia (CAN) Essence Of Negativity from 2018 album. Hopefully this clears up any confusion and the band is able to be submitted.
