Yeah, only retards use that term though, but it basically means the same exact thing I posted.

Could anyone please tell me why isn't Nanowar/Nanowar of Steel on this site?
Because it has got like 5 covers? Their other stuff is THEIR ORIGINAL stuff with funny (i made up a word?) lyrics... and c'mon, you can't call that rock, this is just pure heavy/power metal. And I seriously doubt that no-one had proposed this band.
So can someone give me GOOD reason: why?

Because they're a parody band.

¨

Actually it wasbecause they wre considered glam (black list says "cock rock"). If the user will be able to prsnt here at least one metal album by them, then they can be reconsidered.

We do NOT accept the following (this is our decision, please don't argue this):
* Cover/tribute/gimmick bands (ex: The Iron Maidens, Catch the Rainbow), unless they start as such and eventually write their own music

http://www.nanowar.it ...........If you are not able to find some information about their albums here, then I truly pity you.

Provide songsamples from one WHOLE album. Is it so hard to understand?

Why did The Howling Void did get rejected since his album is already out (digital format)?

7) Proof of existence - must have a PHYSICAL release

First, the band must have at least released SOME material. If you don't even have a physical demo... forget it. The band might have been formed, even got a logo, but how will we know that they won't just disband before even recording any song? An mp3 or two on MySpace or mp3.com-like websites is not enough. The band must have a demo out - this is the minimum. If you want to add your band, and you *know* you will release something soon, simply wait until it's released before submitting it!

It would be best if there is mention of the band anywhere on the Web, even if it's just a demo review. Otherwise, it could be a joke band and we have no way of knowing. If you have complete line-up information and/or album titles with tracklisting, even if there is no mention anywhere else on the Internet (that'll mean the Encyclopaedia will have the exclusive information! ), it's already better than just the minimal information with no album.
As this rule was added several months after the site's launch, it's possible that some bands already on the Encyclopaedia are breaking it. If you KNOW a band listed here that virtually doesn't exist, feel free to report it.
(Note that 0 results on Google might not prove it doesn't exist, but it doesn't mean it never existed either - it just helps us if we see a mention somewhere on the Web...)

It is metal, I do not understand what the problem was in this case.
Removed from the list.

My submission of CWN ANWNN got rejected on the grounds of lack of proof. I actually have the demo in my possession, but if it's necessary I'll upload pictures. Thought I was probably in the clear of that by now...

Morannon

I've been sleeping on this one for a while and did some research. With bands such as Uruk-Hai (Aut) and Ice Ages on the forums i figured I'd take a stab at it.

I tried earlier but the site took one of its periodical dumps halfway through the upload, and I must have missed the "notify" button, but believe I got far enough for the band to go through (albeit I couldn't get the album uploaded). Hope enough proof is in the MySpace, I'm splitting hairs either way, do your worst.

Not metal enough. Guitars are used only as a background instrument and on rare occasions. The music is built around keyboards.

This guy use Guitar with metal riffs.

It's ENOUGH Metal.This guy use Guitar with metal riffs but the final mix is a bit buried.But the main problem probably is Demo existence.

I can prove the demo's existence.

Except those riffs repeat (or are similar to) keyboard parts.

Then do it.

Sure, please tell me what exact proof you need. I understand this may be a common question, but I couldn't find what the exact requirements were regarding proof of a release.

If you read through a couple of pages back, you could see that it's usually a couple of photos of the entire package (CD/LP/MC/whatever + booklet & backcover), a link to a reliable label/distro carrying the release, a couple of reviews based on PHYSICAL release (not mp3s).

@ SitraAhra :OK, I won't argue any more on its metalness. Looks like it's really unreleased, unless proven otherwise. Time will tell.

From myspace:
The drums and guitars are all programmed, and I thoroughly enjoy making everything from scratch myself.
Not only he is unexperienced, but the music is all electronic and not metal.

I submitted Ehnahre yesterday, but it was rejected because their widely circulated promo copies of The Man Closing Up were not "officially released" as of yet.

I just re-submitted the band with it's official release date on the the album's page, and a few notes reminding the users to shy away from posting reviews until September 22nd.
Is this alright? I've seen many albums posted prior to their official distribution, but with the same quarantine. Thanks

Does that mean I could re-submit minus the album data? There are a vast amount of myspace bands and old, obscure acts that have no information at all on their releases.
