Hello,

I wanted to submit Noord based on their newest release Cryptosis (https://noordofficial.bandcamp.com/album/cryptosis) and I feel this is metal enough to be accepted. Looking forward to your reply

Cheers

This is far from the acceptable kind of -core we accept.

Could you explain it a bit more maybe? I'm trying to see what exactly is wrong with it so I can evade this in the future. To me it sounds like they have some Melodic Death Metal/Metalcore-ish riffs similar to that of the likes of As I Lay Dying for example. So what is it exactly that makes them unacceptable? Not trying to fish for approval, I'm genuinely asking. Looking forward to your reply.

Cheers

To put it short, there are melodic death metal-based metalcore and nu-metal/alternative/hardcore/other stuff-based metalcore. This falls into the latter.

Ah okay, that makes a bit more sense. Thanks!
