Hey guys, I just tried to add Grief & Bliss to the site and it says they're blacklisted?

I could understand with their release Endeavor and their single The Cold Death Of Self as those are more shoegaze releases. However, their demo when they were still just named Grief and their newest release, a split between Sadness, Soulless, and In Autumnus, brings back the screams and is definitely heavier than their past two releases. I think they should be off the blacklist as their definitely Post-Black Metal/Shoegaze in my book, very similar to Alcest.

Thanks for all your hard work and consideration!

Well if the demos were released under a previous name then they wouldn't be considered for evaluation of this band

Okay true, I'll give you that but this current release definitely falls under Post-Black Metal.

Saving this from page 2

The material from the split doesn't seem predominantly metal to me - sounds like an equal mix of shoegaze and black metal. Even for post-black/shoegaze this is really pushing it; the similarity to black metal is mostly through the occasional tremolo riffs and the screaming vocals rather than the song structures or riffs. I think it's safe to keep the blacklisting here for now.
