I don"t check the queue everyday :/ + I flagged a few bands and my reports seem to be ignored

Ignore? Not by me.
All trustful users can sometimes check queue and flagged something...

Yes, their style is not obvious at all and it is very likely a borderline band judging from what the site lists and from the bio. Deleted.

Nebula Soturna

does not seem to exist. No hits via google and also not listed by the label:

(should be number one ... )

Like Drone Razors Through Flesh Sphere

Oscillating between soft, harsh noise, drone, ambient, with very rare "metal" parts (= drums, noise and distant shrieks -- even that being hardly metal). Not metal. I don't know how it got here, since it's not even borderline drone.

It seems, yes.

Here's a forum where the label announces the release. It must have been cancelled. Deleted.


I eventually deleted them.


Do you have samples? The band has no MySpace.

I'll upload some.

EDIT: Here

I doubt that this band has physical release, because I've seen it only at download sites, but even if it has, the whole music is made with FruityLoops. Here's the link to download:

or there is also one sample online here:

About the band Witches Brew:

They only released 1 single with 2 tracks the 1st track is not metal and the second track is a melodic heavy metal track as it's indicated in the band's bio http://www.irishrock.org/ipnw/bands/witchesbrew.html

I don't think this is enough to get the band to the archives.

2 Portuguese bands to delete

Oblivious Abyss

One of the members contacted me in order to delete the demo posted on their page sinse they did not had any sort of knowledge of its existence.
They did record a reharsal track named "The Throne Of Manu" but didn´t released it.

TNT (Prt)

Rock'n'roll, plain and simple , no Heavy metal, recently discover this page with sound samples and realize that was a mistake. My bad, sorry.

I removed "Käärmenäyttely" (Submitted by ralfman)

"None of the band's releases were physical. They only released music as mp3s in the Internet." - orakkeli

Joey Tafolla.

His first album, Out of the Sun, is instrumental rock in the style of Tony MacAlpine's "Edge of Insanity". His subsequent albums, Infra Blue and Plastic, are a kind of blues/rock/metal instrumental fusion. Out of the Sun sounds absolutely nothing like Racer X, nor are there more riffs to be found on this album than on any Tony MacAlpine album.

this still has to be taken care of.

from their myspace site:

I would say: no release.

Looks a little fishy to me.

Wow, submitted 5 years ago, while the submitter has no idea who's on it, yet knows it exists. Not even a cover, especially if it's counted as a split.

Smells like the rotten core in the bottom of a fish barrel.

Not to mention... a split with who??

All I could find
http://www.musicmight.com/artist/finland/nebelwerfer
http://translate.google.com/translate?h ... 26hs%3DSlo

They could have just copied it from this site though.

Probably from MusicMight, yes (though the other way round is possible as well).
That Chinese site is just a clone of MA.

not the only one. Look at the list of the 'bands without (some) releases and you would be surprised what you will find there.

There's a band called Beer from Argentina that doesn't have an ounce of metal in their sound, in my opinion. If that isn't enough, they personally label themselves Hard Rock.

Should this band: http://metal-archives.com/band.php?id=129658 be here?

I won the auction that the band was submitted with and I never received the tape. Not long after the auction was over the seller became "no longer registered user" (http://myworld.ebay.com/hlmedia-auctions)

Even though I never received the tape, does that prove physical release?

It was submitted by a moderator (as such well-versed in the rules), so I'd be inclined to believe it's a legitimate addition.

He submitted it by the auction that I won, though.

I'm afraid I don't understand what you're saying.

He used an ebay auction as the proof of a physical release. I won the auction and I never received the tape. Sorry I am not very good at explaining things.

Edit: Let me rephrase it completely

The band in question: http://metal-archives.com/band.php?id=129658 physical release existence was proven by an ebay auction (I remember it from back then because it is how I found out about the auction). I bid and won the auction for the tape. I paid for the tape and a year and a few months later, still no tape.

The seller of the tape was removed from ebay a few days after I paid for it (They had a large stock of movies, they could have possibly been bootlegs.)

I have emailed the seller a few times and no response so I do not think it was merely lost in the mail.

And what I am asking if it was enough evidence to really include the band because I could find no other mention of it on the internet, but that is the case for several bands but I don't know.

I hope I have made myself more clear now

I've deleted Satanic Warfare, the only "demo" is obviously just one song available for download.

about Ostrogoth (Aus)
if photo of tape from ebay and word of seller is not enought we should delete lots of obscure bands

you should contact (your English is better...) second band from split
if this really was released official they will know this

Good idea. I will contact Vorak about it if I can find a way to contact them.

And the only reason I brought it up is the seller never sent me the tape I bought.

I understand. It's quite weird situation. I hope we will get answer from Vorak.

I sent the label an email if they had any contact information for the band or if they knew anything about the tape. I think it is safe to assume the tape is legit because I remember the seller having a few other obscure demos as well. Hopefully more information about the band can come from this.

I've noticed that the artist 'Knife in Christ' has no proof of a physical release.

The proof of physical release is only for pending bands. There are lots of pages where the proof does not appear.

Okay, we've got Devin Townsend and Devin Townsend Project. I'm cool with that.

The problem is that Ki and Addicted are listed on both pages. Either DTP needs to go, or the albums need to be removed from DT's solo page. Since DTP was accepted into the Archives, I'm guessing the latter should occur, but I just wanted to make sure the acceptance of DTP wasn't a mistake.

It's not a mistake, Evenfiel gave the green light. The reviews will be moved.

Cool. Good to know you can also move reviews (as opposed to deleting them and telling the reviewers to resubmit). I think it's great to know that you guys are all on top of this... this is why I love this site.

Not me directly but HellBlazer and Morrigan (in case you meant me by saying you). Yes, it's definitely better to move them.

Since my last post was ignored, here's are links to some songs from Joey Tafolla's first album:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOsJO4E6wx4

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENcu12wGvF8

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4Bwrz7w5dM


These songs are almost identical in style to Tony MacAlpine's "Edge Of Insanity" album, yet for some strange reason Joey Tafolla is considered "metal". I'm confused. I don't hear any "riffs" to speak of, just "melodies and solos". Side project rule does not apply as Joey was never in Jag Panzer while doing his solo project.
