Band: Yigga Digga
Link http://metal-archives.com/band.php?id=25616
Reason: 1) Not metal 2) Shitty Name (okay, really, just number one huh-huh number one)

I first came across this band while searching the archives for bands from my home state back in the day. The lame name caught my eye, so I checked them out. These guys sound kind of borderline to my ears, the songs on the website (epsecially the first one) sound more like Godsmack-ish hard rock with some nu-metal influences and one riff that could be construed as metal, judging on this song alone (a bad policy, I know), I'd say cut 'em. The next song has more metal in it, however. Actually, it kind of sounds like Alice in Chains. So I scope out the myspace, hoping to find something conclusive to sway me one way or the other. The third song on the myspace fits pretty neatly into an aggro/hard rock kind of thing. The last song sounds kind of borderline.

In short, I need an expert ear to review this stuff. To be honest, I hate this band's name (and music) so much, I don't want them to come up when people look at bands from Pennsylvania, a state featuring some good bands, well-respected bands like Pharaoh, Circle of Dead Children, Icarus Witch, Nunslaughter and Bloodstorm. If they are deemed sufficiently metal, I will grin and bear them being here for the sake of completeness, afterall, even shitty metal bands with super gay names have a place in the archives.

Oh dear, this has turned into a bit of a long rant, hasn't it?

Their answer:

"For years Byornoya has been home to mant whaling and oiling stations. Bjorns father as a matter of fact worked at one of the whaling stations. There is housing spread out all over the island... "

I've deleted the band Spawned of 'Sdeath. The demo listed on their page was released under the old name of Affliction (Den) and the band has not released anything under the newer name.

Isn't Halo of Locusts a pure hardcore band? I don't remember anything metal about their sound.

From the reports: does anyone know anything about Untergang?

No releases, no links. Should this be deleted?

Nok, I think you did good with Protest the Hero. Not very conventional, but metal nonetheless.

Thanks. It seemed like a stretch, but it got approved in seconds.

Gone.

Anyone against the removal of DEPRAVATION (australia)

Apparently the band has no discography (unless someone can bring more proofs)

I found just one link with a potential proof of release.

Quote from the link :
"Andrew also released a demo CD of his black metal solo project Depravation."

http://us.geocities.com/loudster/psikore/members.html

And this link is the official site of Psi.Kore, so it should be enough.

_core NO

Sexual Intercorpse - no releases?

I didn't find any proof of release. All I found was the band mentioned in metal-archives and rockdetector (from where it must have been ripped) and some other weird sites which rips all the bands and their infos but with some problems in its displaying.

Bye Bye Sexual Intercorpse

side project rule?? (member of judas iscariot)

Yeah even... please stop adding those _core & rock, punk projects based on this side project rule....

-_-

The guidelines say crust/grind is not allowed in the archives, unless it's close enough to death metal. Are these two bands close enough to metal, or should they be deleted?

noisecore: http://www.cfprod.com/noisecore/noisecore.htm

if ambient bands get in on the side project rule, i don't see why noise bands shouldn't. its a serious project of a relatively well-known person in the black metal scene. if vomit orchestra belong on this site, surely JFC does as well

....

....

Dysmorfic has been submitted by me, it was submitted as death metal. By the time it has been corrected to crust/grindcore. I know very few about this style but I listened to a track on myspace and I've got the impression that there are some death/grind parts.
It would be cool if other users could have a listen to their tracks to have other opinions and thoughts.

OK GUYS SUBMIT YOUR FUCKING CORE BANDS OR YOUR IDIOT PUNK/GOTH ROCK SIDE PROJECTS

ANYWAY I DONT CARE ANYMORE, IF YOU WANNA MAKE THE GARBAGE ENCYCLOPEDIA ITS UP TO YOU...

If Jesus Fucking Christ's music was ambient, it would be probably accepted with no complaints. What's so different with noisecore? What makes ambient more fitting for Encyclopaedia Metallum?

As you know, I myself don't submit such bands anymore, but I want to defend the others. Instead of arguing:

And so on...

Hey jewkov, kill yourself ok? I don't need your opinion! Have heard any of those? no so shut up stupid jew...

i've never submitted any mallcore band like you

now as i said, add your stupid core side projects I don't mind anymore

Ok calme tes nerfs et ferme-la, c'est vraiment pas nécessaire de se comporter comme un enfant. Tu montres vraiment pas un bon exemple avec tes insultes gratuites. Le gars n'a rien fait de mal, il mérite pas ça, et même s'il le méritait, ça rend pas ton comportement plus acceptable.

J'ai toléré tes crises pendant assez longtemps, ok? Parce que tu travailles fort, je sais que tu veux un beau site avec du bon contenu. Tout cela a toujours été apprécié et tu le sais. Mais bien que je ne veux pas faire de "discipline", c'est absurde, il faut quand même vraiment se calmer, respirer par le nez et arrêter de faire du drame chaque fois qu'il se passe quelque chose qui t'agace un peu. Ça n'accomplit rien du tout.

Merci.

Does Basket Of Death really belong? They seem pretty far away from metal.

EDIT: Also, my question about Halo Of Locusts still stands.

Nothing, and I treat ambient bands as such. They do not belong imo at all here, since they have nothing in common with metal musically. Unfortunately the side-project rule mentions them, so mostly in cases of side projects, they are listed here.

Generally, it has no sense to argue over blatantly non-metal band, be it a side project or not...

Stick to real metal in your submissions, by submitting a non-metal band, even if it is a side project, you are not doing any good service to the side, even if you may think personally, that your submission is a big blessing for us.

http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=34856 - no releases?

EDIT: This site says:

http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=66551
No realeses

And a dead drummer, apparently...

2 EPs in fact.
http://www.10kingdoms.com/CDorder.txt

add 'em then!

I have deleted Lugburz (Esp) and Ordo Funebris - ambient bands, without direct links to metal bands.

I did. I just added one as a full length by mistake and reported it and added the links. Satan_Mos added tabs that link to Ultimate-guitar's homepage and the site has no info on the band which suggests to me he is pointwhorring.

Hi boys.

I want to report that:

http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=5141
http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=64390

khronos did a mistake, that band was already submitted, but he added with the wrong name. Delete the submission!

Also if REALLY a band called Goatskrieg come from Bjørnøya in Svalbard, so we have to change the nation!!! Infact in the nations list there is Svalbard and Jan Mayen, and Bjørnøya is not Norway bu is part of that islands!! What do you think about that?!?!?

Bye

Khronos entry already deleted (not by me).

Also, got a report that this band were never metal but have always played a raw form of hardcore punk from the beginning:

http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=26006

I did some research and it seems most of it is punk, but if somebody is familiar with the band can you confirm that they never released at least one album that wasn't some form of metal?

Yes, you're right Evenfiel, but in this way not only Hong Kong is not a indipendent nation, but also, for example, Greenland (that is Denmark) or Martinique, or New Caledonia!!! So about that it's necessary to take a decision because if New Caledonia or Greenland are allowed, so Svalbard and bla bla bla Isalnds could be accepted too, otherwise also Greenland, etc. have to be deleted...I don't know...Sorry for my English!!! Bye
