Hi,
in 2019 Castle ov Yester was rejected for being "rough demo quality"
their latest album A passage to the sorcerous hall I think is "valid metal"
https://castle-ov-yester.bandcamp.com/a ... erous-hall
all tracks are finished, official, ready for download and original - the riffs are metal (at least I think) and the tracks are polished.

bumping because it's been two weeks and this in on the third page.

There is a heavy synth element, on A Passage to the Sorcerous Hall but there is also a singificant amount of black metal tremelo riffing (present in every track except the intro and the outro), as well as metal song structures, blast beats and harsh vocals. The album is mastered and recorded in a way that makes it much more legible than a standard black metal demo, which I believe, makes it suitable as an online-only release.

Not blacklisted, feel free to resubmit.
