Subject explains it, there are a lot of bands which have a debut listed as being released a year or more before the band formed. The list of bands with the issue is here.

The user above has been kind enough to compile this list for us. This is a task that requires some manual work, and any assistance with this is appreciated.

The bands above are ones where the "Formed In" date is given as after the date of albums listed in the discography. Normally, this would mean that the "Formed In" date is incorrect and should be removed or changed (if a source can be found confirming an actual, valid "Formed In" date). However, there may be circumstances where the "Formed In" date is correct, but the earlier release does not belong to that particular version of the band (ie. the band changed its name). In those cases, if the album is metal and it has a notably different name from the band it's on, a new band entry should be made. If the name change is insignificant, the album should remain, and the "Formed In" date adjusted to include the previous, insignificant name change. If in doubt, please feel free to ask questions in this thread, especially for those cases that may warrant a new band entry.

Once you've corrected any bands, please let us know so we can strike them out from the list in the OP.

Beware of the Dog can be removed. Unknown years, but had reformed in 2011. A user had incorrectly entered the information.

I've fixed Levers.

Here is an odd case that's going to need a bit of work. The album listed under Henych 666 is given as a collaboration between the solo projects of four different artists, when it seems more like it should be its own band entry with those artists in the members list for the band instead. It'll need to be checked as to whether it's metal and valid, but perhaps it belongs as a self-titled album under the band name, Zemětřesení.

Regarding A Scar For the Wicked: I've found a 2011 archived version of their ReverbNation page which shows that they definitely formed before 2012: http://web.archive.org/web/201110110810 ... rthewicked
This is also confirmed by the fact that their YouTube channel was formed in 2011: https://youtube.com/user/ASSFTW

However, I'm not sure if this is enough evidence to conclude that they formed in 2011. It's definitely enough evidence to conclude that they formed before 2012, however. I changed the formation date to "N/A" but because I can't make the years active section "N/A," I'm setting it as "2011-present" for now until it can be corrected in some way.

EDIT: I did find this: https://www.distrolution.com/bands/a-sc ... he-wicked/
It states that the band was formed in 2010. I'm unfamiliar with the site, but it seems like it's one of those sites used to promote bands. However, it also has an edit function which implies that it could function as a wiki, making the info not as reliable. I'm not sure.

I was looking into this one as well. Thought pretty much the same thing. I looked at scans of the album on discogs and it seems that this Vlastimil Henych fellow was just credited as a person, and not the band "Henych 666". According to Henych 666's website, Vlastimil had a band simply called 666 that released a demo in the early 80s, so I can see where the confusion may have been. That band and demo are already on the site though. I couldn't find a definitive year of formation for the Henych 666 project, but the one that is listed seems to align itself with the existence of online material related to that band.

Zemětřesení has nothing to do with the Henych 666 band. It ws a project, a band pust together form metal musician, which were declared the best in their respecitve categories in a poll by a meal fanzine. The goal of the project was to records songs of the famous Czech hard rock singer Jiří Schelinger, which wer intnede to appear on his 1980 The album was planned , but neer released due to his tragic death. So this album consists entirely of Jiří Chelinger songs and is in fact a tribute/cover project. The nreleased album was supposed to be called Zemětřesení and that's where the band got its name from.

Shouldn't A Scar For the Wicked be crossed off too since it was discovered that they formed before 2012? Or are we to wait until we figure out the exact formation year?
