I bet if you ask a couple more times that it will expedite this.

Im checking Slowly Building Weapons new album and sounds a bit more Black Metal than their previous release. what do you think?

Can someone tell me what blacklist notes says on Cryptical Death from Indonesia? And since what year it was blacklisted?

"Mostly punk-fueled grindcore", 2015.

Iron Bastards?

Iron Bastards (from France) is a band whose music is firmly in the Motorhead style, much like Asomvel. Their website describes the band as "fast rock 'n' roll", but I believe it is metal. They could quite likely be using this as a homage to Lemmy, who also often introduced his band with the phrase "We are Motorhead, and we play rock 'n' roll".

I searched here to see why they weren't listed, but saw no discussion of them. I'm sure they have been considered previously, though, so wanted to start here in this forum.

Here is their most recent album, which was released on F.D.A. Records.

I am trying to add an atmospheric black metal band called "Demiurge", but am unable to since another band from the US called Demiurge is blacklisted.

Here's the bandcamp link:

Just posting again since we're on a new page:

it's opposite, actually. maybe you should give them another try by listening to it more carefully. technical deathcore/death metal:
https://balttw.bandcamp.com/album/my-vaseline-diaries
they also have released a new album in 2017. but it's still unavailable for full online checking.
but this new song is showing more metal than core direction:

and what blacklist note says for The Rivalry (Australia)???

I'll try and hit all the open inquiries tomorrow. I'm out tonight.

I don't even understand what you're talking about. This was just blacklisted on 9/27, so unless in under two weeks you have a new and valid release stop spamming the thread.



whitelisted, go ahead and submit.



I hear some black metal in there but it still sounds way too hardcore, sorry.



This stuff isn't my strong suit but it sounds too rock-ish to me. I'm open to other opinions on the matter.



whitelisted for this band.



Rivalry - metalcore, super old though, so new material?
Blindfolded..... - the last album they have (2014) is still technical deathcore wankery. No.



Sounds... ermm like it could be metal enough... I'll take it off so it can be evaluated.


------------------------------

Did I miss anyone?

Yeah, Tony asked me about them yesterday and I'm inclined to agree with you.

Just for solidarity I gave them a listen yesterday when they came up in #metal and I was thinking they took too much from the rock side of things. Three's company.

Agreed, whitelisted.

Thank you.

Can I also please get some clearness on pre-orders, in particular - Ziggurat and Witchcraft Sadomizer on "Caligari Records"? Cause the story was that both bands were presented in "Caligari's" bandcamp with one track each, mentioning "Soon on tapes" and given 30 September as the release date. I know what pre-order means, therefore I waited for submission according to the rules. Later on in Ziggurat case the tracklist was added to bandcamp, but no option to buy the tape, the release date was changed to October 5. Therefore, in the webstore of the label, you could already PRE-ORDER the tape, and it was clearly pointed out as PRE-ORDER on the main page, as well as in the product page. So I waited again. On the 5th of October the tape for Ziggurat was added to bandcamp site and it was possible to order it already (no sign of pre-order!). Besides, the FB post said - "ZIGGURAT's Ritual Miasma can now be ordered from our bandcamp page".

https://www.facebook.com/CaligariRecord ... 7552479665

So I think that's the evidence that the tape can be purchased, and not only pre-ordered, or isn't it? Besides, the official webstore does not have the pre-order mark already:

http://caligarirecords.storenvy.com/col ... ma-cal-074

Yes, I see that the shipping starts from 11th of October, but in this case - does it still count as pre-order? You can easily place an order in any underground label's webshop, and you definitely won't get it shipped sooner than 1-2 days later. So I don't think "ships from" could be considered as the official release date, or should it?

Finally, the label's FB posted yesterday that both tapes can be bought in "Steelworker Records" shop in Tampa physically:

https://www.facebook.com/CaligariRecord ... 60/?type=3

I don't think any more evidence should be needed, or should it? Btw, forgot to mentione that Ziggurat was rejected twice for being pre-order.

The case with Witchcraft Sadomizer is almost identical. While it was on pre-order status, someone has already submitted it in the queue. I submitted it already when you could order it without any mention of pre-order, but it was rejected because someone else submitted it earlier (even if it was clearly done before it was possible to order it without the pre-order option). I understand it is difficult to follow when the official status of pre-order changes to regular order, still - looks like a thing of luck to get into queue on the right time.

That is kind of a tricky case. I would say that as long as there is an option to purchase and not pre-order than it is ok. Yes, shipping may take a few days, that's ok. Keep in mind though that like in the case you mentioned if the label changes things and it gets switched back to pr-order before we check it then it would most likely be rejected.

I understand, but in these particular cases, I don't see any sigh of pre-ordering:

https://caligarirecords.bandcamp.com/al ... lack-holes

https://caligarirecords.bandcamp.com/al ... ual-miasma

So can those bands be re-submitted, with these links as evidence, or are you going to submitted them for other members, cause both bands are waiting in queue already?

Dear Erosion Of Humanity, I didn't understood if my submission for Tulpa (Italy) was rejected due to the lenght of the release or the abscence of evidence of being released as a physical CD. Physical copies as been sold at gigs and from today are available on band's bandcamp page, even if is available as a digital release since August 29, 2017 (submission has been rejected today).

Evidences of physical release:

Thanks for your time

Does that mean I should submit it or that the mods are going to talk about it some more first?

Raviz: you're good dude. I missed the bandcamp page, my bad.

OtN: submit so it can be judged.

No prob, I see that now is all ok. Thanks!

^ The genre tag still needs attention, Ero.

The band Degree Absolute was deleted from here 4 years ago with this explanation given:
"Ambient/experimental with even some djent. Not "Progressive/Technical Metal" in the slightest."

Which is just blatantly wrong, there's some ambient tracks on it, but it is a textbook Progressive/Technical album in the vein of Spiral Architect or Zero Hour.
The whole album can be heard here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfYZCtGmF_k.
No djent at all, only some standard "modern prog metal" riffs. Have no idea where that notion came from.

Would be nice to see it reinstated as it seems to have been removed very arbitrarily! The band is quite good to boot.

Cheers mod team!

Yeah, as the one who deleted them in 2013 I'm not really sure what went on here. You're right, this is metal. I can only assume that the sampling at the time was quite misleading and/or from another period of their discography (there's only the album and a single, as far as I can tell, though)? Maybe it's even another band with the same name? Hm, could be I just fucked up.

Whatever the case, I have removed them from the blacklist now. Unfortunately, the deletion is too old to have the original to restore, so please resubmit a fresh entry. My bad.

Thanks for the response! Mistakes happen, I will try to re-submit 'em whenever I get the chance!

Ok so i just need to wait for 2 weeks and resubmit. Thanks, i will wait then. Sorry, I never knew that the blacklisting is temporary. I repost a few times here because no one didnt bother to reply to me at all.

Why was Rites of Daath blacklisted?

No. That's not what i said at all. I told you to stop asking because your band was just blacklisted two weeks ago. And since you have not released anything new since then this isn't going to change.



Album isn't out yet.

Hello,
I have been trying to add our (my) band Üsik and was e-mailed this, "The band you have submitted was already submitted by another user (possibly shortly before you and thus was not yet approved), and therefore your submission has been deleted to avoid a duplicate entry."

We tried to add the band one year ago but were rejected due to lack of proof, so we tried deleting that submission before re-applying with all newly updated links, members, and band photo's. When checking the Band Submission Queue, the one and only result is the correct one that is fully updated and that we (I) submitted, yet says that "this band is still pending approval." I was just wondering if there was any way to get around this without deleting everything and starting all over. Much thanks and we appreciate everything that you do.

I know that this band was previously blacklisted for non-qualifying output, but I think their latest LP "Submersion" just makes the cut as a valid progressive deathcore album in the same way that a few others do on here. I've provided the Bandcamp link below.

https://darkwatersend.bandcamp.com/album/submersion-2

Why are my bands blacklisted?
EDIT: I apologize if I had an attitude when I asked several months back, I appreciate everything you guys do.

What band would that be? Kinda hard to tell since you tried to whitewash your post history.

labooulalagazza? Not predominantly metal on sub-20 minute release.

And yeah:


Annoying.

Actually it was DTI that was not "predominantly metal" and when i asked on here before, i wasn't answered onto why that was determined. So therefore I just tried to erase the posts but couldn't so i whitewashed them, my apologies and that will not continue.

labooulalagazza was another band I was trying to submit but it wouldnt let me get that far. Thank you for getting back to me.

Well that's just stupid logic. Don't do it gain.

Got it. Is there anyway i can get un-blacklisted?

Any project can always be reevaluated based on new releases. The blacklist isn't a ban, it's just a means to avoid evaluating the same material repeatedly.
Laboo-etc was evaluated in June it seems, and there is a listing for DTI from April.

I was looking for info on a raw black metal band from Canada called Flešš. Les Fleurs Du Mal just released one of their tapes on the 7th. I went to search it and didn't find any entries, so I went to try and submit the band.
I was told the band was blacklisted, but I don't know why. It seems like an obscure one-man project, and I don't know why it would be on the blacklist.
