After submitting the band Deceiving Exhort, I was asked "Where is the album available for download?".

It is available on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&page=1& ... g%20Exhort

That's good, resubmit it. Add that as a merch link (Amazon MP3) and in the submission notes please, as we tend to not research too heavily and just check what's right there, since there are so many bands to handle.

I agree with the previous opinions, some parts are metallic but overall it's something else. Everything which has distorted guitars and harsh vocals isn't metal.

Sitting in judgement... Please note that we only decide which bands are included on this website. It's the metal archives, not the punk archives, and the line has to be drawn somewhere. We aren't calling you or your music bad, or even imposing any worldwide definitions on you. Whether or not you are included on the archives should be rather irrelevant in the end. And we can reconsider after your next album anyway, supposing it's reasonable.

Hello, I was wondering why the Norwegian band Intrigue has been blacklisted.

Their music is indeed kinda strange, but it has very clear Traditional Metal base, like TNT. I also bought one of their EP and I have to say that it's quite Metal:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mll5WLijquE

I've also looked for some other songs on youtube (there aren't that many thought) and I've found more stuff that's, in my opinion, clearly Metal:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TIl7xV8SOI
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AKXbfcyjvo

Sure, it ain't Blasphemy or whatever but again, compare it with TNT and you'll have to admit it's quite similar.

The thing that might sound weird is of course the vocals, which are sung in the traditional Sámi "Joik" style. This kind of singing is sure far from Metal, but well, that's the concept of the group I do believe. Otherwise, i don't think there are other elements that could make the band blacklisted. I don't hear no blues, no seventies organs, no pop rock or whatever...

It was considered folkish hard rock.

@OpiusCato: I would beg to differ. Besides the vocal style (also used by accepted band Sagitarius http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Sagittarius/3142) i don't see anything folkish at all in Intrigue's music. And, regarding the Hard Rock, again, they play basically the same kind of music than TNT, Traditional Metal, with some ballads and quite a lot of heavy-guitar-laden straight out heavy metal songs.

Again, I don't hear anything "Hard Rock" in the band's music, no blues progression (their songs are either re-adaptation of traditional songs or Metal songs of variable heaviness), no bluesy guitars, riffs, solos, organ, bottleneck... In my opinion, this is Hard Rock: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBJI1whWaFY

But this is not: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mll5WLijquE

Would you please be kind to maybe reconsider Intrigue, at least listening to those songs again? I would gladly be told to fuck off, but i just wanna be sure that my arguments have been at least considered before retreating.

Ah, Intrigue... I haven't heard them in ages. I think I tried submitting them in 2005 or 2006 or so. But I really don't know if Intrigue is that far from the hard rock sample you linked.

To me they're still much more in a Judas Priest kinda trip, the guitars are really Metal, as well as a the solos.

They have a new single out by the way, and are still touring Sapmi as usual...

Well, as I recall, they were submitted not too long ago and 2-3 mods listened and agreed on them not being acceptable. I remember it being borderline at best.

Yeah, please wait for the physical release. The EP is a bit short for a digital release.

I think that Urchin from UK should be included in the encyclopaedia as a (traditional metal / hard rock) band. In my opinion, they had a pre-NWOBHM sound. Please, listen to this representative track from the band: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJIa3Szz2hc taken from their 1977 single "Black Leather Fantasy". What do you think about the inclusion of this band?
Band info and discography can be found here:

The band is supposed to have a release,but it may take a few months,so we would like you to highlight the other aspects which the band lacks/meets so that I can resubmit the form along with the valid releases and conditions

Yours Sincerely;

^ Gate of Israth, I presume? Well, two things are required:
  1. The music has to be metal (enough). For more information, see this, this and this.
  2. The band needs to have a valid release. For more information, see this.
Both things also require sufficient proof. In short, enough samples of the music and some documentation about the release, like good photos.

You can listen to their last release here on the mediafire-link:

I've downloaded the album and it's ultra-lo-fi, noise/dark ambient. Sounds like someone is trying to play black metal in the far-off distance, but the production is just ridiculous.

Hello!

I am Rubens (Vyrvz), the bass player of the band Spiritual Void ( http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Spi ... 3540365759 ), and I am a member of Metal-Archives since 2004.
Recently, I added my currently band (Spiritual Void) to the Metal-Archives database, and it was rejected. I am always reading and updating myself on the site rules. I added a lot of links that proves that my band is real and we have recently self-released our first single (Fall in Disgrace) by ourselves, because we are unsigned and an independent band. We self-released this promo single to sell in gigs and promoting our music, and we are in the process of recording our upcoming EP of four songs, that will be also self-released by ourselves too.
I would like to politely ask to review why my band was rejected, and if it's possible, what can I do to have my band added in the Metal-Archives database? Because our music is there, and links are there too to prove that we are a real band.

Thanks and cheers to you all!

Rubens (Vyrvz)

Can you provide a photo with a few physical copies of that single in it? How many copies did you guys make?

Thanks for the reply, Azmodes. Yes, we can provide a photo with a few physical copies of our single. We make copies as demand, depends on the quantity we need for the occasion (gigs, self selling etc.) and we give our master sleeve (front & back in a slim case box) to a printing store and they press the quantity we need, the same with the CDs.
Cheers!

I see Flower Travellin' Band's blacklisting has been addressed, but I'm curious as to the reasoning for Jerusalem's blacklisting. Not heavy enough to merit inclusion, I take it.

If HellBlazer doesn't know, no one probably does. The note seems to be from years ago because it doesn't even have the information who added it, let alone why. Chances are whoever added it wouldn't remember him/herself.

So, instead of asking that, you could answer these questions: What kind music do they play? Have they undergone big musical changes? Are there valid releases? Samples?

Hey guys, I ran a search for Corsair and saw where 'toine and Azmodes had explained that their s/t leaned maybe too far towards hard rock. I was just curious if we could maybe sneak them onto the archives on the strength of the Alpha Centauri EP? There are a lot of moments driven by what I would consider pure heavy metal riffing, not all that different from some recent Slough Feg works. I consider both Skykrakken and Beware, the Black Fleet to be purely metal, but even some of the softer songs build up to bigger riffing moments.

I know this is a long shot, I was just curious. Would love to see some reviews from the regulars here on this great band. I still haven't heard the s/t yet but its on the way to me now.

I have no say in the matter but I do own all three records and they get more metal as they go. I actually think the Alpha Centauri EP is the least metal of the three. The new Self-titled record has some great metal riffs on it but I can see where people call it rock as well. It's a weird thing with these new vintage sounding bands. If the record was released in 1981 it probably would have been metal but in 2013 it's borderline.

I left a link with a single sampler for a future split with Abigail the band is preparing, and in the same bandcamp link there's a couple songs from the first EP we released.

Here's a direct link:

Thanks.


Quoting this since it was forgotten a few dozen pages ago.

I don't have any problems with the production, it's just music.
In my opinion it IS a style of Black Metal, pretty raw though, but well...

thanks for listening and for your time.

Another question:

I've got a copy of the last Shadovar-release here and I was worried because it's blacklisted here.
Have a listen here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_E2tNatojc

It's normal Black Metal, yeah there are also Ambient-tracks on the release, but it's 50/50.

Here's the physical copy:
http://depressiveillusions.com/items/cd ... -fantasmal

Thanks in advance!

P.S.: I can upload also more BM-tracks from Shadovar if you want

From what you have provided so far, Eismond seems similar to Uruk-Hai in that regard.


I was very stunned about your deletion of Uruk-Hai. The MA page was the only reliable and comprehensive list of all of the project's output.

I just found out that Uruk-Hai was removed from MA. You argued that their music was not 'metal enough'. In that regards, why is Mortiis and Neptune Towers listed here? Additionally, the connection to black metal culture in Uruk-Hai is undeniable, and Hugin has participated in multiple actual metal projects like Hrossharsgrani, Ravenclaw, Folkearth, and Elisabetha.

The real problem with this is that MA was the only complete and comprehensive list of the projects output in existence. The deletion of it I feel deprives fans like myself of a valuable resource in not only tracking down his limited pressings, but avoiding bootlegs, and keeping track of new releases.

My biggest argument is how can Uruk-Hai be not considered acceptable while other completely ambient projects liek the aforementioned Mortiis are permitted?

Perhaps you still have records of the discography so that I or other fans could take a list of it and post it somewhere else like Discogs, that way we have this very valuable resource?

I thought absolutely the same about Uruk-Hai, thanks for this true post.

@ Uruk-Hai: Well, non-metal bands are accepted if they're side projects of metal bands, plus some arbitrary selections. One of the moderators saved all the information, maybe he'll make it available somewhere.

So i write a time ago about this theme......I even can´t understand why some bands will be deleted and some not, for excample Vinterriket stay and Uruk-Hai will be deleted. So i like bothe bands by the way. On the other hand the Sideproject of Huginn (Uruk-Hai) *Eismond*, as i send some excample that there is metal enough inside, they say to me some fuzzy guitar are not metal....so The new Mortiis (which NEVER made metal before) are more metal than Eismond??? Surely not....bur i have a little idea, maybe it is for the satisfaction for all:
Some Bands like Mortiis and Uruk-Hai and Vinterriket ( i know there are much more , but this are bands i love ^^) are interestind AND important for some kinds of metalheads. So like many of the Black Metallers listen to the old Mortiis stuff. So wouldn´t it be better those bands NOT to delete, because of their realtionship to the metalscene? I think many Black metalheads count those bands to the BM-scene,even if they not made metal... and even members of the named bands have ALL worked in metalbands ...Huginn in Elisabetha, Vinterriket in Battle dargorath and Graven , Mortiis for Emperor etc.... ( and surley in other metalgenres you find even those excamples).
I understand if you say this is JUST for metal...and i never will say that every band should be listed (Rock is NOT Metal) and if we all say what we understand under metal , i would say Metalcore is even NOT metal *haha* (joke).
So if you try at this point of metal-archives to delete all those bands which do ambient, you have to delelte so much ( o see much bands which are ambient and not metal , but with members of metalbands).
My idea is NOT to delete those projects and bands because of thier relationship to metal....and by the way : the user will know WHY they have added those bands, and surely all of them knows what the terminus METAL means ;) .
Best wishes to you all
Sorry my bad english
