Why was those 2 bands i submitted rejected i don't see any reason for that!
Yorkshire Manor: http://www.myspace.com/yorkshiremanor
A Bullet Well Spent: http://www.myspace.com/abulletwellspent

The first one does not seem to have a physical release, only an online split.

The second sounds like a mix of alternative rock and modern hardcore.

Looks like you rejected both bands on the split anyway the split exist in physical form and it's not an onlune release both bands posted the split to download cause it's already an old release dowload is about 45mb

split name is "You bitches couldn't even be who we was..."

Isn't this in the wrong thread?

Yep, lol.

Rather ironic considering that GraveWish seems to pride himself on "knowing the rules".

Indeed it is....

Why was headgirl accepted? I know it's a side project of members of Motörhead and Girlschool, but they only play covers (mainly songs they already played in Motörhead and Girlschool)

All Headgirl tracks:
Stay Clean (Motörhead)
Please Don't Touch (Johny Kidd and the Pirates)
Demolition Boys (Girlschool)
Emergency (Girlschool)
Bomber (Motörhead)

I think the Black Sabbath/Heaven & Hell thing sort of established that it's not a "cover band" if the people are playing their own songs. It's one thing if a band just changes its name and re-releases old stuff under their new name (which is unequivocally not allowed) but if the new band re-records their existing material and releases it on EPs like this band appears to have, it seems like this grazes the line of acceptability, IMO.

In case you wonder, why Whitechapel was accepted now and mercilessly rejected in the past, it is entirely because of the release date. Users should finally learn to not submit bands months or weeks before the actual official release.

Hi

This band http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=100576 is already present.
The user who submitted it translated the band´s name to english

The band page is this one , http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=36129

still no disco ...

Why this band Maledicta (Ita) is listed as Alternative Metal?? I thought Alternative Metal does not exist only Rock

Because it was on their page, obviously.

I have listened to it, and it is still acceptable- a mixture of melodic black/death elements, gothic metal, Dream Theater like parts and the mentioned alternative influences- a multigenre band.

What about these guys? They're also listed as alternative metal, but i'm not even sure if it's metal.
http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=37526 . Listen to the sample on their website.

Link doesin't work

Wrong link, fixed.

If all the songs sounds like that shit on their website so it must be removed.Some kind of mODERN metal trendies here.

Why band Daeonia is listed as Black/Doom Metal? At least there is NOTHING Black in their sound. Melodic Doom/Gothic Metal will be enough

Band Black Omen Melodic Black/Dark Metal

I just read the review of their album well i don't know based on what you accept a review it's well writting maybe (no faults and shits) but it doesn't have any relation with the album the guy even claims that the songs are in arabic so basicly he didn't even heard the album at all anyway i am not complaining about the review cause i know it wont get removed but it's ridiculous how a mod can accept such review based on a subjective point of view that's a part of the review:

What we've got here is an unfamiliar style. This band is cliamed to be a Black Metal band but it is not. This is straight forward Arabic music played with guitars and keyboards, adding in fitting drums and bass with Black and Death Metal vocal variations. If I were in this band, I would propose shooting a clip with a few half-naked Arabic female dancers with corpse paint on. The music is played like metal, but it is not metal, not like the way Orphaned Land introduces their own folk elements, and not suitable for headbanging or soul darkening or driving a person to express his/her anger through destruction. All you can do with Black Omen is a good oriental dance. But Black Metal is absolutely not the genre to such an attempt.

Not to mention that their is ANY oriental music or influences he even compared the band to Orphaned Land (what an idiot) beside dunno how he can consider a Turkish band arabic

Nitpick about genre's much.....

Why in the world was emmure accepted, they are not deathcore, more like hardcore.

Because one of their albums were enough metal based and no more or less metal than Killswitch Engage or similar modern bands. Live with it.

Which hardcore - old school certainly not, and they have only patially the groovy breakldowns of bands like Sick of It All. They use some pathetic declamation instead of clean vocals, but that is certainly not a reason to reject them.

I didn't say they were hardcore, I just said they were more like hardcore than deathcore.

They are simply enough metal based to be accepted and it does not matter if you call it deathcore or not.

4 Bands Without any Discography

Why is Concordia accepted?

I do not know, provide samples. There is no link on their page here.

They have stupid genre, but that often means nothing.

http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=21847

Apparently this band was not NSBM but a RAC band

Reported by Björn (former member)

should we nuke it? I don't know this band so I can't confirm (truth or again someone who does not want his band on the net)?

I also deleted HELVETE (cze): death metal from Prague (formed 1996)

line-up:

Jan Horyna - Bass, vocals
Ruben Lang - Guitars, vocals
Michal Kostiuk - Drums
Jiri Filip - Guitars

Well no releases, I used google and could not find anything! Feel free to add it again if you know more about them (that's why I also kept the line-up and some info

I fixed the first one. They had a cd out. Not sure about the other three, since I really can't understand spanish or portugese that much...

here's an interview for DRALION (venezuela):
http://www.melomaniac.com.ve/entrevista_dralion.htm

I don't think they have discography (+website ie currently not available)

Eterna Obscuridad: nuked: no disco

Steelwings: I did not find any info (except fotolog -_- )

As far as I understand the last part (question 12 + the answer), they were about to release something when they did the interview. not sure if it happened though...

don't know either :/

http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=81652

Russian band Wantit

First album - techno (sic!!), second album dark synth gothic

The second album can be dowloaded here and not a trace of metal on it.

http://nordncommander.narod.ru/russ/vantit.htm

Not a side project, but a pre-Nord 'N Commader band - for me a clear case of not metal, does not belong.

Opinions??

I don't think they belong. Probably should get rid of it, but explain about the band on Nord'N'Commander's page. (Being pre-nord'n'commander, techno, synth gothic, ect.) Just an opinion

here is their second release:
http://www.velesova-sloboda.sled.name/music/vantit.html

not metal and as the first release is tekk-NO! the chances are not good that the band will stay.

Now all is clear, deleted.
Thanks a lot, good work.

Now by the way, don't you have some downloads/info for The Goddess?

Another problematic band, which does not seem to be side project, listed as folkish ambient.

http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=15700

Me????? No.. NS-shit... I have nothing the like, but I see what I can find. There are two reviews written by Satanic_Warmonger, yet he is dursted. Take a look at the genre: Folkish Ambient... the chances anything that is metal in any way is rather low.
