I tried to submit Escaping Aghartha, but was denied because it's "predominantly ambient and too uneven".

Here's a link to listen to the newest Escaping Aghartha album. https://escaping-aghartha.bandcamp.com/ ... ast-evolve

While creating an atmosphere is a part of Escaping Aghartha, tracks 1, 2, 4, 6, and 7 are all metal at their heart, with tracks 3/5 being breather tracks.
I do not think that 2 songs out of 7 should disqualify a band, as the core of the band is based in metal. It is atmospheric in nature, but metal nonetheless.

I implore you to reconsider.

No.
It's partly ambient and the metal songs aren't really predominantly metal, it's shifting from some sort of atmospheric guitar stuff to ambient to metal and back to where it started.
And asking for reconsidering stuff that was blacklisted the same day... no. Wait for more.

This band is metal. A lot of bands already on MA have ambience, in fact, some bands even have "ambient" in their genre listings. This is atmospheric black metal that sounds like Ashbringer with raw production. This should not be blacklisted.
