It does look a bit suspicious. From this archive.org page it would seem that it was accepted based on Spirit of Metal. http://web.archive.org/web/200711180809 ... p?id=75384

Spirit of metal has many fake bands....

But it could be that Gravewish had some kind of convincing proof back then, and it was accepted based on that. Who knows

I'm from Argentina, I know the band and I must agree with this guy. Nativo is not metal, just mallcore. They shouldn't be here.

http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=124864

This band is mostly mallcore/alternative rock, and it doesn't really belong here.

The vocalist stated that he always wanted to sing mallcore and alt.rock and he is happy that he fulfilled his dream with this band.

Here's their album. They hadn't lost their metal roots completely, but it is really lacking metalness.

Removed the above, and Nativo as well. I'd be inclined to remove Jesu and similar acts as well, but they have protection.

This band is not really metal :

I submitted it a few months ago, and then i could only find this video, which was a metal song :

Now there are a few new videos, and they are just mostly melodic hard rock songs, so i would suggest the deletion of this band:

report :
Hallo, I was just contacted by this band and informed that non of the releases under the name Celeano has ever been released official, those releases were stolen bootlegs from the label, the label is selling the cd's through ebay and not paying any royalties to the band, so the band asked me to contact you and ask for the entry of this band to be deleted, you can contact the band direct on this email [email protected]

http://www.metal-archives.com/board/vie ... hp?t=45891
Ignore him.

Well, my two cents on the matter, I bought the stuff at e-bay, from the person whose auction I used for the submission... and was ripped off... like a lot of other ones... the label is mentioned to be a rip-off on another site.
http://www.musik-sammler.de/forum/viewt ... pid=215067

I have my doubts there were any copies spread at all.

The homepage is currently under construction... so wanted to wait until it took full shape and see how matters lay.

Everything is vague around the subject... I do not get the point how a label could release stuff without the bands permission and why I am not able to find any stuff on the band in the intenet... I have the feeling of knowing only half of the truth.

I remember this band being rejected a month or so a go, for not being metal. I don't really think it is metal now.
http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=3540270646

This band has no physical release:
http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=3540270695

The full album can be downloaded on the discography page, but there is nowhere to order it.
http://www.obsidianshell.com/div.php?p=disco

There's the torrent link to download it in their page's discography section.
I understand hungarian so i can confirm this.

So if thrashmania80gr didn't provide any proof i missed, the band should be deleted.

deleted, no releases

If you deleted it, then why did you include that link in your post?

Reports for Kill the Bitch


January 3rd, 2009
Posted at 06:56

There is a link to a myspace page with Kill The Bitch songs posted there:

http://www.myspace.com/killthebitch6669

Also, there were not 2 separate demos. There were 12 songs recorded in Mortuary Temple Studios in the Summer of 1998. It has never been mixed and mastered. No label would touch KILL THE BITCH so no one ever released it. But I, Mikael, still have the master tapes and if any label wants to release it just contact me.

---
No official releases, so it was deleted.



I have also deleted Mutant Gods - hardcore/grindcore, not metal.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jxvFTQS ... re=related
I have removed Speed Queen.
Obviously pure hard rock - even if good at that.

I have deleted The Plads - strange psychedelic rock, not metal.

Dark Electro : side project but no worldwide distribution I think

Done.
(http://www.helterskelter.4i.pl/)

Are Tredegar ( http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=25501 ) really that much Metal? I always thought they were more Hard-rock. Their album doesn't sound that metal to me to be honest. I do like it but metal???

They definitely are metal, it surprises me that you even ask.

Maybe I should put the album on my turntable. It's been quite a while since last time I played it!

http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=51601



only a bootleg release so far.

please delete Graf Orlock

Good band but they arent even related to deathcore, more like experimental grind/hardcore/screamo.

http://www.metal-archives.com/board/vie ... hp?t=46331
after reding this, I decided to delete Ghoul. Their material is diverse and only about two songs have bigger metal influences. Hardly a consequently metal band.

I was surprised to find that Canaan are in the archives

http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=3923

Not really metal at all, are they?

Well if it really isn't metal, it might qualify as a side-project is Eibon has global distribution (which i doubt). Are you sure that none of their albums are at least 51% metal?

I have not heard all of their albums. They're not a side-project of anything (although the band did evolve out of Ras Algethi which is metal). I think Eibon probably does have worldwide distribution... Esoteric's Metamorphogenesis album was released through them, and it seems to have found its way around. Even if they're an exception somehow, the genre tag of 'gothic metal' seems pretty off.

Try to check the albums you do not know. Also provide samples of their non-metalness.

hehe
now it's metal?
previous wasn't

from the latest review:
Just keep in mind that it is much less a metal (about a third of the record) album than a folk-ambient-industrial one.

http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=10060

Does anyone have their album? I cannot find it.

this one?

EDIT:
rapidshare link:

I made a Thread about Absolom (GER) band, stored on MA, but it seems to be inexistent.
That band has four releases as shown in the profile, and the labels (that i suppose are from Germany) are totally unknow: GodKill Records, aura lingm records, san pedro records.

I couldnt find any info about the band. There's no links in the profile except a mail that appears in the Lay down dying album: "will be released in end of december this year. for more information contact me [email protected]" I couldnt get any answer from this mail.

I think this band isnt real (theres no proof of its existence), but before making a conclusion I want to know why was this band accepted.

http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=87665

Thanks

A mod should contact 'artery' (via e-mail) and ask him where he got the information from.

We don't hold any register with the whole page's history and since it was accepted nearly two years ago I doubt any of us would remember.
Besides asking artery, we can also contact the guy behind the given address.

Interesting is the following:
http://www.metal-archives.com/userprofi ... ser=Agitat
this user is not only the last to update the band, but also the person behind the mail-address in question.

The band could be as underground as the one you sent me the mail of; this Swedish bm band.

Yeah, it smells like Oddskabbcatz.
Mail sent to both artery and Jochen Schödl.

This does look fishy.

The demo was reviewed in Heavy oder was Magazine 5/98 by Detlef Dengler.
I have found it, because the logo looked familliar. The band is entirely legit.

This is alternative rock/ adult contemporary and it is even labeled as such. It is a side project of King's X, but a lot of side projects are rejected for not being remotely metal, and I feel this one should be as well.
