First, sorry for my poor english.

Second, I imagine it's here that I can ask why my band has been blacklisted,
i've tried very hard to do the things right and after all I don't understand
what is wrong with my application so please, I demand if its possible that
some Moderators help me in private or something so my band can be on Metal
Archive.

Sincerely Jim.

My Death METAL band was rejected for not being a "metal' band. We have been trying to get on here for months and nothing. We have released a CD, we have proven that we are a metal band, and a legitimate one as well. Please help. Thanks.

Noticed that Mourned (US) is blacklisted even though tha band sounds more in the death metal side of the fence than hardcore.

https://mournedma.bandcamp.com/album/2016-promo

https://mournedma.bandcamp.com/album/rift-ripper

if the issue is that they don't have a physical release they actually released a tape via Death Lab records

Any chance of Freedom Became Ashes getting whitelisted? i assume they were b& back in 2010 for releasing a EP which is admittedly very -core but just last year they released this full length full of melodeath and brutal death influences, so could this possibly see MA inclusion?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhfg4QzOdms

This is the exact kind of deathcore that gets to be allowed on the site, I dont see why not.

Alt rock - 2016

Edit - new album sounds sludgey, whitelisted for evaluation.

Blacklisted in 2015 for being more hardcore than death. I tend to agree.
How do you know that tape is from the same Mourned?

The tape is promoted in both band and label's FB accounts.

Ok thanks, but that tape is what got them blacklisted back in 2015 then, so no valid release. So they'd have to be accepted based on their new material. Let's hear other opinions.

"Sorry marktheman, Encyclopaedia Metallum was forced to reject your submission for the band Salmagündi (Italy), for the following reason:

Provide proof of metalness (a link to song samples) and valid release (either evidence for a physical release, such as photos, or for a valid digital release)."

Thanks for the links, but from the sounds of that song this isn't metal anyway. If the rest of the album is noticeably different, please provide more samples.

Sorry adikikatara, Encyclopaedia Metallum was forced to reject your submission for the band Forsaken Dreams (Greece), for the following reason:

streaming releases isn't considered valid, can you provide us a valid reléase?


A band needs a valid release before they can be accepted to the site - a valid release is one that's either:
Distributed in physical form (CD, CDr, DVD, tape, vinyl, etc)
Digital and available for full download: must also be a finished/final mix (no garage rehearsals or rough mixes), AND long enough (preferably over 20 minutes)
Already released. That is, no upcoming releases!

To prove this, you must include one of the following:
PHYSICAL RELEASES: Include photographic evidence (such as this or this) and upload them to a site like Imgur.com. Optionally, if you don't have access to any of the copies, you can include links to sites like BigCartel or a label's page that's selling them, or officially announced them as available for ordering.
DIGITAL-ONLY RELEASES: Include links to sites like Bandcamp, iTunes, Amazon, etc, to where the release can be purchased or downloaded.
If you want to object to this rejection, please do so in the appropriate thread in the "Suggestions and Complaints" sub-forum. Do not e-mail moderators directly about this. If you need help digging up more information about a band for your submission, you can try posting about it in this thread.

Sincerely,
- PiotrB, Encyclopaedia Metallum

Listening. I'll report back later.

EDIT: Whitelisted. This album doesn't fit with the blacklist description.

Hello, I wanted to submit a band called Electric Mountain, from mexico, but to my surprise it turns out they're already blacklisted, I would like to know if it is because maybe the didn't have an album out yet (which they do now) when someone tried to submit them before or if it's only because maybe they're not heavy enough for the website.
Any way thanks
I'll put the link for the album

Could you please advise why was Fissures from UK black listed? Seems very legitimate to me.

Lorna Shorehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorna_Shore can be white-listed now. They have 2 full length albums and being a metalhead I think it is a technical deathcore band. Hope deathcore bands are allowed to be registered based on the metal content of the music.

Why are Shock Metamorphism blacklisted? Their 2017 album is clearly metal and they have it released through Bandcamp, so it's a valid release: https://shockmetamorphism.bandcamp.com/ ... other-side

Sorry Human Vivisection, Encyclopaedia Metallum was forced to reject your submission for the band Klysma (Belgium), for the following reason:

A band needs a valid release before they can be accepted to the site - a valid release is one that's either:
Distributed in physical form (CD, CDr, DVD, tape, vinyl, etc)
Digital and available for full download: must also be a finished/final mix (no garage rehearsals or rough mixes), AND long enough.
Already released. That is, no upcoming releases!

To prove this, you must include one of the following:
PHYSICAL RELEASES: Include photographic evidence (such as this or this) and upload them to a site like Imgur.com. Optionally, if you don't have access to any of the copies, you can include links to sites like BigCartel or a label's page that's selling them, or officially announced them as available for ordering.
DIGITAL-ONLY RELEASES: Include links to sites like Bandcamp, iTunes, Amazon, etc, to where the release can be purchased or downloaded.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The digital release can be downloaded on our Bandcamp; https://klysma.bandcamp.com/releases
It consists of of 5 tracks. It might be a bit short, but it's Goregrind, it's supposed to be short.

My band, Iblissian, was initially rejected for not having had an official release (although we did have a digital release via bandcamp at the time of our rejection), but now we have some photographs of our physical stock as evidence to its CD release.

If anything further is needed, let us know! The rejection e-mail initially said that we needed something: Distributed in physical form (CD, CDr, DVD, tape, vinyl, etc); digital and available for full download; and already released. As far as I can see, we've now met all of these criteria between our bandcamp and CD releases, so I hope these photos help our case!

The moderator probably rejected it because the digital release is a bit on the short side, but now that you've provided physical evidence that point is moot. Restored.
