Hello.
I'd like to make an appeal for a band I've submitted and that was rejected earlier today. It is the case of the Swedish band Mister Misery, which were rejected because "they are not a metal band".
Well, agree to disagree, but I do fail to see (or hear) how is their album "Unalive" not metal. I mean, their songs sound consistently riffy, even the more melodic ones, with some classic metalcore/ heavy metal discernible type of riffing. They might look gimmicky and BVB-esque, for sure, but I guess that wouldn't assure the band's rejection.
Hereupon, I think that the band deserves a revaluation. You can listen to their music on the link below:

Thanks in advance.

The band was checked by 3 mods already. 1 of them thought they might be fine or at least really borderline, but two more mods thought it was too -core/rock to be acceptable.
Personally, I agree with the two "no"s, this is poppy -core with some metallic riffs.
Sorry, blacklist stays.

The original appeal was posted a few weeks before the release of their second album, "A Brighter Side of Death". Not sure what impact this will have, but I think it's a bit different to their first album so it might be worth mentioning.

"A bit different" means nothing, "more metal" means something and this is not it. Don't bother appealing them again unless their next album happens to sound significantly more metal than everything they've released so far.
