You rejected the admission of my band based on the fact that one of the labels i've used, was "Stone Rock".
I've also wrote "Heavy Metal" but, apparently that wasn't enough for you and you've sticked with the "Stone Rock" thing...
Just to make it clear:
The 17 Brent Thugs wasn't rejected because you used the "Stone Rock"
tag in your submission,
it was rejected for -musically speaking- being stoner rock.We don't go by and we absolutely don't care on how a band calls it's own music. We always listen carefully to the music first and then we make our OWN judgement of the band's style.
And contrary to Stoner Metal, Stoner Rock (on it's own) isn't acceptable according to the
site rules.

Furthermore, saying that you don't accept my band because it's Stone Rock and then you have bands like Kyuss, Spiritual Beggars or Orange Goblin just to mention these three, with the description of "Stone Rock"!!!
We judge every band case-by-case. All of these bands you mentioned don't play stoner rock exclusively and have at least one album (or a couple of albums) that are METAL enough according to the site criteria. None of them were judged by the Metal-Archives staff to be only "stoner rock", or otherwise they wouldn't be here.
Anyway, you're welcome to review Rules & Guidelines > Heavy Metal only so you can furtherly understand on how the site works on this matter.
