Which Viscera (Australis) has been blacklisted? The one formed in the 90s or the Sydney band formed in 2014?

The blacklist note doesn't have a date. Just says "Grindcore" if that helps you.

Why is the band ODCULT blacklisted?
There is no history at all on this site regarding the band.


Hi,
Blacklisted in 2015 for the reason Hard rock.




Are there no way to reconsider this? There are a lot of bands listed on this site that are way more "not" metal!
Just listen! I´d say this band has a sure slot in the metal genre!

So you can't download the COMPLETE album from bandcamp? Only song 1 and 2? In that case, the album is not available as full download and therefore not a valid release by our standards. Stream-only is not valid either.

Include those links in your submission notes and resubmit. Doesn't make it a CD, but it might pass as digital-only.

The rules of bandcamp make it impossible this download (the song is very long for upload), but Its available for download at youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDOICF9tvVA and its possible buy the album at bandcamp too...

It's not available for download at YouTube, as YouTube is streaming only.

How do you know there is not a CD, are you part of the band?

I insist: my other bands are they in the same conditions, all they wrong? why are they approved?
Thanks for your answers

Dimetilcadmio
Deri, Storm, excuse me for interfering, but I think something's gotten lost "in translation" there. I think he got a bit confused after having edited his rejected submission/added the links Paganius had asked for. When a rejected submission is edited the status goes back to draft. I think he thought it'd be automatically approved, hence his displeasure.

Tower of Mystara
@KADGAR: 1. If there's a CD, why don't you provide pictures? 2. Concerning the digital release, the third track can't be uploaded to Bandcamp, but if one clicks on "Buy digital album" and pays €5, do they get all three tracks or just the two uploaded to Bandcamp?

If I may add something to the discussion, it should be stressed out, if that's not already clear, that Tower Of Mystara is Kagar's own band. He lists the album in his discography on Bandcamp, along with band Veggrind, which he also recently submittedas "brutal grind" to the queue. So if there is a physical release, he should be able to provide pictures of the CD or other convincing info about the distribution with relative ease. Please see here: https://sadixmo.bandcamp.com/

I love Edu's work, but I don't think a single power metal EP is enough to get his solo project listed, especially since it seems to be (and sounds like) unreleased Angra material just re-recorded and considering the rest of his solo discography is non-metal stuff and covers. Let's wait until he releases a power metal full length of original material.

How Y&T are not included on MA, while Thin Lizzy are? I read that Thunder and Lightning is a metal album, but how then the album as Black Tyger by Y&T is not metal as much as T&L? How T&L contains "metal riffing" while Black Tiger doesn't? What are OBJECTIVE ARGUMENTS for that?
You, staff, can't just say one album is metal, the other is not, the case closed and that is the absolute truth, without giving clear explanation and objective arguments how one album is metal and the other isn't.
I think there are many FLAWS in inclusion/rejection of certan bands on MA.

You've been told 3 times already to stop asking about big bands. Stop.

Several albums in the billboard and other charts, more than 4 million records sold, their songs were used in ad campaigns (e.g. Dr. pepper), the list goes on.

Blacklisted for being more -core than metal, not a release length issue.

EDIT: Ah, I see, you previously submitted them but they were rejected due to release length issues, and later blacklisted due to musical issues. Nonetheless, the blacklist note says it's too -core and from a quick listen, I agree. Sounds mostly like chugs/breakdowns.

Then how a generic poppy metalcore band as As I Lay Dying is accepted on MA? That's really a flow, in my view.
BtBaM are definitely more 'metal' than ASLD and musically better by a very wide margin.

Are you ignoring our warnings on purpose or do you have difficulties in seeing the size of a band?

According to the band's official Facebook, Obsydians (ex-Sybreed) will only record and release singles (about three per year) in digital format only. Although they are eligible for the Archives in terms of how metal they are –they follow exactly in Sybreed's footsteps–, does this trait make them acceptable?

Hmmmmm, that is a bit of a conundrum. The three singles should add up, it isn't like the are just random tracks of a single release out of order. They have been submitted before but were rejected 'cus the user didn't provide proof of release. I would say submit them and the mods will have the discourse on them then.

Blacklisted in 2015 for being Midi-DSBM and for no physical release. I'll unblacklist it so it can be re-evalued again.

Hi, it's Attila from Stabbed, Hungary

While I'm trying to add my band to the page, I get this message:

"Warning: a band called "Stabbed" (Hungary) 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."

Few years ago, I made a mistake, because I uploaded this project, and it was not metal - but now, looking at our new release it definitely fits to your page https://stabbed.bandcamp.com/



Can you please review, and remove my band from blacklist, as we are really in metal music now.

Thanks a lot!

Considering the blacklist was from 2014, I'm whitelisting the band for re-evaluation.

If the CD is not available, then the CD is not available ... which spawns a policy question:
If there had been a dropbox link, then it would have been a "valid digital release"? Or?
What about a link to a soundcloud with both streaming AND download opportunity?

(Of course, one can youtube-dl it, but I guess it should not count when one is not supposed to. Even if the band solicits it?`)

I assume you are affiliated with the band, so here is a tip: Split the track. As lossless. No fading. If your audio editor cannot split a .wav or .flac file gaplessly, then get another. A lot of freeware can do it.
Upload as "part 1" and "part 2" and explain in the notes that they are meant to be joined. If I choose not to join, then any reasonable player (that means: no VLC, unfortunately) will play them gaplessly anyway, just as it handles live albums without glitches.

Yes and yes, as long as they are official and public. There is no way to download from YouTube without using a video to MP4/MP3 converter, which we don't count as it's not from the site directly, even if the band is fine with it. It requires the use of a third party program/site.

Hi, Metal Archives’ team.

Although with surprise, I want to humbly appeal your rejection of NORTH OF SOUTH.
With all due respect, I could have expected a million of things to happen with this (my) band, but never to be rejected in this website because of its alleged lack of Metalness.

I’m 39. I’ve been listening Metal since I was 12 years old. I have my own Metal radio show for the last 17 years.
I visit your excellent site dozens of times each week for the last decade and a half. I truly think that I know what the rules and judgements of Metal Archives are... And why certain bands have been historically rejected in this site.

So, with extreme respect to your labour, I encourage you to check your initial decision regarding NORTH OF SOUTH.

You can note how the first (independent) press reviews are remarking diverse METAL influences and references in our music like Opeth, Nevermore, At The Gates, Annihilator, Swallow The Sun, Eldritch, Conception, etc.
There has been a broad consensus about categorising NORTH OF SOUTH as (Progressive) Metal.
I can provide you some links, for sure.

Maybe, the main confusion could arise from the fact of 1) the more rockerish vibe of the new (second) single, “Nobody Knows” and/or 2) the heterogeneous mix of influences (Jazz, Latin, but also Melodeath or Doom).

Songs like “The Human Equation” have an unambiguous Opeth/Evergrey taste in some passages. Listen to the first riff or even the growls.
“Time will tell” links to the Swedish Melodeath in the vein of Soilwork, Omnium Gatherum. Pay attention to the blastbeat. Do rock bands usually have metal blastbeats?
Can you notice the Sentenced Amok’s spirit behind “Faith is not Hope?
But about the symphonic section in the second part of “Balanced Paradox” in the style of Therion and Nightwish.
I can follow... but the accurate way to solve any doubt is to let the music speaks itself. But not one only song, but more tunes... The whole album, if possible.

One more issue: not coincidentally, the producer of “New Latitudes” is Zoilo Unreal, a very well-known musician of the Spanish Death Metal scene (see Unreal Overflows, The Anthagonist, etc in your website).

I assume NORTH OF SOUTH is a not easy to classify, as the own label press releases says, but, in my humble opinion, its metal nature is evident.
Metal is the main trunk from which other genres emerge on a second level.
It connects with open-minded metal proposals like Amorphis, Novembre, In Flames, Opeth, Voyager, Haken, Pain of Salvation, Evergrey, Sentenced, Katatonia (all of them, present in Metal Archives), but, in no case, with rock or alternative metal.

Hopefully, you consider these appealing words.
Sorry for the lenght of this post.
Thank you for your time, patience and attention.

Hi,

Anwar was rejected with the reason "Regardless if it's metal or not, the production qualities of this project isn't good enough to qualify as a digital release." They are not just a digital-only band, they also have a physical version of the full-length, which I already provided the proof in the sub. notes, and added the physical entry as a parent version. I think mod did a honest mistake.

Here is a photographic proof of the full-length:

Anwar was rejected with the reason "Regardless if it's metal or not, the production qualities of this project isn't good enough to qualify as a digital release." They are not just a digital-only band, they also have a physical version of the full-length, which I already provided the proof in the sub. notes, and added the physical entry as a parent version. I think mod did a honest mistake.

Here is a photographic proof of the full-length:

Feel free to resubmit

Hi, could you please now publish the LETHEAN (UK) profile, I take the point that the earlier demos were not fully downloadable, but the LP is now open for customer pre-order purchase - https://www.cruzdelsurmusic.com/store/i ... ct_id=1859 - and it would be much appreciated to have this bio page live for people's reference.

Thanks

We don't consider releases to be valid until they are actually available; pre-orders aren't enough. Once the full-length is released (or pre-orders start shipping to customers) you can resubmit on the basis on that album.

Hi, everyone. First post here!

I would like to request a reconsideration of the Swedish band Anti Cimex. I cannot really speak for the first album, as I didn't like it the first time I listened to it, so I forgot what it sounded like, but their second album, Scandinavian Jawbreaker, definitely justifies their inclusion here. It sounds like Discharge, Motörhead, and even Toxic Holocaust (minus the vocals). In fact, I don't see what makes them less metal than Discharge, considering they are essentially a clone of the band. The riffing is pretty metal and the soloing reminiscent of the kind Motörhead typically pulled off. I would say they are definitely more on the metal side of d-beat. Therefore, I would ask they be reconsidered solely on the aforementioned album. Here it is, should you need to hear it (again):

Hi,


I tried to add the band "Letters From The Colony".
I got an error that the band is blacklisted.

I am just kindly going to ask if the band can be unblacklisted, so I can create that page? :)
There are some members from In Mourning and October Tide in that band :D

Here is some proof that the band is legit, Nuclear Blast etc:

Hoping to get a reply :)

The label is not the issue (nor is it ever a matter of consideration). The band was blacklisted in 2014 for not being metal per MA’s standards. If they’ve released something new since then that you think is more in line with the website’s guidelines, feel free to bring it up in this thread.

Here is the full album Scandinavian Jawbreaker by Anti-Cimex. In my opinion, if I may voice it, they do not sound much like Toxic Holocaust, but more like Scandinavian crust bands in the style of Driller Killer or Wolfbrigade/Wolfpack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hucKTX2-1Qo

Discharge aren't listed based on their earlier crust output, but on their later metal albums. Check the OP about comparing bands, please.

Anti-Cimex are straightforward d-beat crust firmly on the punk side in my experience and that album doesn't seem to be much different.
