Sort of sounds like SOAD... but is it metal enough? I have no idea, I need some comments.

http://www.myspace.com/murenaband

Didn't sound metal to me.

I'm thinking...no.

It doesn't sound very manly.

It has nothing to do with "sounding manly" it just isn't metal...

If a band sounds like SOAD or any other nu metal band, keep it away from this site. It would be in your best interest.

For the moderators: Is it ok if I submit a band which will only release the album next week (official release date)? I'm only asking because some band I submited was rejected because the album wasn't released at the submission date, even if I had the promo with complete tracklists and covers.
I just wanna avoid this now.

No. If they haven't released anything yet then they won't get accepted.

Better wait for next week, I would leave it pending till then anyway. If it is a label band, you could submit it now and we could wait so for the release, but you are risking its deletion in the meantime.

As an exanple, the first Galloglass album was postponed for nearly two years, even if I have seen the cover and tracklist and heard some samples in late 2001.
The second Luca Turalli album was also delayed for several months etc.

Thanks for the answer. But then this applies to the last band which was accpeted too, I guess? Check Chaos Blood, there's not even a release date for their album, "Shattered Skull".

I have not accepted it, but...
The debut Album @Fragments of a Shattered Skull' is out in March 07 on Siege of Amida Records
Confirmed, that it is out here:

The album might not have been released yet but they do have a self titled prior release (2006)
http://www.metal-invader.com/db/reviews-3026.html

Plus this band is already present

The album is out too on MARCH 2007 you can order it on Siege of Amida i was even surprised that i didn't find the band here but as always google sucks and i didn't search it by coutry so my fault.

I'm just wondering about why some bands with literally no proof of existance are submitted. For instance, I was searching so bands on the website and I found that, they only had a discography in the additional notes and that they had no links.

How do these bands get accepted?

Really, do not ask over and over about the same stuff.

There are replies on similar topic from several moderators all over this forum, you have only to find the older post.

When me, christkiller or atery submit a band from old magazine/fanzine, it could often happen, that there is no tracklist in original review. Then we list the album in the additional notes. For newbie users, it is possible to do so, but they have to offer also a proof that the release exists by linking to distros, reviews, collections, cover image on the net etc. Clear enough?

sometimes info about demo is taken from zine or something like that
sometimes demo is mentioned in interview ....
every band its other story :]

Sorry, what abut this band: http://www.myspace.com/farfromsanityband ? It's enough Metal? Thanx for replying.

Any opinion about that? I'm new, maybe i posted in the wrong thread?

Hi

Can this band http://www.myspace.com/volitiongrind be in?

Cheers

I think SO,coz vocals and a lot lots of riffs sounds really like Death Metal but with big punk/HC influence.

If it's not on the blacklist, stop asking here whether your band is metal enough, and give it a shot. If you really fuck up, it might be a good learning experience for you.

888 bands added in June, not bad

just a little note to tell you guys: STOP SUBMITTING BANDS FROM ANTARCTICA

-_- there's no metal bands from there !! the guys who put this on their profile (myspace) are morons. (don't tell me there are guys who work there and have decided to play metal .....)

Be serious and think with your BRAIN

What kind of fucking idiots do this?!

dexter_prog (2 bands)
misanthropians (1 band)

3 bands from Antarctica the same day = too many

do not hesitate to contact bands 1st before submitting those bands because i'll automatically reject them because they are a loss of time both for you and us , moderators

Wasn't there some band of scientists from Antartica playing on Live Earth? Nothing to do with metal though.

You actually watched Live Earth?

some non metal bands from antaractica http://cdbaby.com/places/5AQ0

The Supersuckers are from Antarctica now?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Supersuckers

The guys at cd baby are selling the band's stuff, not doing extensive research on band histories, so they put in the location they get from the band's bio/promo sheet. And some American bands obviously find it especially funny to be listed so. Do not ask me why, as a long term joke it is just pretty poor.

I do not want to start a new topic on this:
I am currently writing a review on Devilry and checked their lyrics and there are some weird things added. They are taken from their homepage, yet they are only the chorus elements and not the entire ones. Keep them or nuke them.
see here:

and here:
http://www.devilry.us/unleashed_to_haunt_lyrics.php
Is this acceptable?

For your amusement:

xfactor 1987 has submitted this as groove metal today:

Sounds Like: GHETTO (mutha-fu@&ing) METAL, BABY!

I am speechless.

More of that offal?

I think it's about time to Durst him. What do you think?

*sighs*

and some people claim to be "metalheads" *sighs again*

I'm afraid to see what will bring the next generation of "metalheads" :'(

The majority find the term offensive, near as I can tell.

Can a mod please look at this?

Another thing:
Are animated gifs allowed as logo? Look at the one of Bling Guardian.

Incomplete lyrics should obviously be fixed. As for animated gifs, I don't mind it, granted it's discrete and unobtrusive.

I deleted them.

That's fucking dismal. I think that was possibly blatant. I don't know this guy's listening habits (I probably wouldn't want to know, either), but something is obviously wrong here.

I just added the debut release of Methadol to their site. The EP is 'officially' untitled, yet the band wrote me this:

I have added this to the notes of the album or is this not acceptable and should it therefore be renamed to 'Untitled'?

like this
http://www.metal-archives.com/release.php?id=840

if album don't have name should be added as band name
"Untitled" is not good idea IMO

hmmm
