Hello,
I am making an exception here, since I won't make a new appeal, but repeat an old appeal, made by user Sepulchrave, that was never addressed at the time (two years ago), because, apparently, the mod who looked into it was discharged:
viewtopic.php?f=27&t=64985&p=2772313&hilit=thompson#p2772313

The band itself is sort of a backing band for their frontman Marko Perković - Thompson, and is one of the best selling artists in Croatia. Their genre was in the field of pop/folk rock on the first five albums (with some hard rock songs here and there). The sixth album, Bilo Jednom u Hrvatskoj, would be considered hard rock by Metal Archives.

However, the Sepulchrave's argument was that their latest album (Ora et Labora from 2013) is acceptable by the Archives' standards. Even though I don't neccessarily agree with him, I still think that the band might deserve another look, since I frequently find my opinion different to the mods' opinion (i.e. I might submit unacceptable band or fail to submit an aceeptable one because it doesn't sound acceptable to me). I agree with most of his descriptions, but I am not sure it is enough for the band to be accepted.

His opinion was as follows (there are nine tracks (2-10), excluding the (slightly longer symphonic) intro (1): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aY6p3f80SLo):

Track 2 - fully metal (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNeJC9adHfg)
Track 3 - mix of melodic and heavy parts (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlPorgkdHkE)
Track 4 - "has metal riffs" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ox9tmx14Kqw)
Track 5 - mix of melodic and heavy parts (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1brF-uAN8sI)
Track 7 - fully metal (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOPBGpmurJI)
Track 9 - fully metal (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fwVYlo6I7M)

He doesn't mention Track 6 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzZW9XqwZRk), which is in similar style to most of the songs, as it has melodic and heavy parts.

Tracks 8 and 10 are (power) ballads, with track 10 having some heavier parts at the end (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMSVVGmfoBQ).

Might be fine, definitely worth giving another try in the BQ. Whitelisted.

Excellent :)

Who should add it, Sepulchrave or me?
