(...) Unreleased, I mean that we have never sold one of these CDs. Do you remember 1994 ??? Did you have had an CD- Burner at that time (maybe an expensive stand alone)??? I think no, I had my first one in 1997, when the band was split up. So we had one release, but it was only on a music tape and not on CD, does this might be o.k. ??? But the cassettes where all sold out, we had not enough of them, maybe 20 to 50 pieces, I don't remember well ???

I submited a band that was rejected allegebly because isn't metal.
The band that i submitted is Into The Abyss and to me is very similar to Dagoba.

I see red - Dagoba

Hi,

Why is "Pestera Negru" blacklisted? :/ They released a split and a demo.

Thanks

Please...

O.k. so it was also a misunderstanding from my side.

When we recorded the CD in 1995 we had the dreams to release a little production of our recordings.
But at this time we had not much money and it was very expensive to press compact discs,
and at time we had no cd burner. So we had not the money to release it.

Our plan was to copy the cd on a cassette and publish it this way,
and everybody of us had to copy the CD(we only had one master cd this time) in turns
to cassette tapes. I have created the cover of the CD and we have fitted it to the
cassette cover, which had not included lyrics, just a list of thank greetings.
And so we took this bunch of cassettes to our concerts after the recordings in the studio.

For us it was very essential to sell some tape to the fans and people in the crowd,
especially for the concert with Paragon
we also played our second gig with Finally Desceased
but the crowd was poor and some other little concerts, where we have sold approximate 20-50 tapes, maybe 40 I don't know,
and also some of them for promotion.

So the tapes went to people we don't know. Just people who came to the concert and wanted to buy a tape,
our friends got just a copy of our CD, you know they ask you: "Can you copy me your cd?".

So I hope you are now satisfied.

This is the reason why I did wrote "unreleased" and I have forgotten that we had this tape action.

The second one was my fault, I have produced it (mastered it at home and copied the extra tracks on it),
in hope that we will join one time, but I think I can forget it, the drummer is unavailable, and Tilly has no time,
or doesn't want anymore... so that's the story.. not the whole but much of it !!!

Hi,

One of my projects Vixenta was blacklisted over a year ago I believe, and we've understood why, but we've taken a stylistic change and believe we should be able to re-submit if possible.

Here's the "new" stuff, due out in August on CD. If you need to listen to more, I can provide it happily.

To save you the trouble of waiting for a mod, they tend to not consider industrial metal as "metal" enough by this site's definitions. I'm not too sure the exact reasons.
Rammstein are also on the blacklist.

Close, but too much core on ItA. Dagoba doesn't really have that.

Hello I would like to add, French Folk Metal band Tolk. They have a two track demo on their Bandcamp page, would this constitute enough material to get accepted on MA? Thank you tolk.bandcamp.com/album/demo-2013

Hello,
I received an e-mail as follows: Sorry dhupp01, Encyclopaedia Metallum was forced to reject your submission for the band Crucifix (United States), for the following reason:

A band needs a valid release before they can be accepted to the site
......

I followed your advice and have set up the following on bandcamp / http://crucifix-outcry.bandcamp.com/releases

Please reconsider my submission and give me an update.

Thank You
Doug
