the proper thread would be this one:
http://www.metal-archives.com/board/vie ... hp?t=14116

Well, if someone was able to provide additional information that would make them valid submission than things went as they went. Perhaps your submission lacked of enough proof to justify its acceptence by a mod.

Mentioned here: http://www.metal-archives.com/board/vie ... ime#580016

Really if you submit a band, without telling what releases we should look at, then we can just assume that they were consistent in style. Now this could lead to a rejection because of lack of proofs, because we don't find said albums, and that's when you provide MP3s or similar to convince us.

Because another user pointed me to them with samples. I have not even noticed that they were previously rejected and I know the bands, have heard their early stuff, read several reviews and interviews. Apparently they have became more aor influenced on their last album, which is currently the easiest to find, as many melodic power metal bands did before. Their old material was similar to bands like Narita, Royal Hunt or Supreme Majesty. I have explained it in the rejected thread. Furthermore you have to take into account, that there are many people working on the site, and some of them are not familar with all melodic power metal or it is simmply not their favourite style. That is their right, of course, nobody knows all the 50 000 bands listed here precisely. Yes, something like that can happen and you instead of being glad that your fave band is listed here, spend time with unneeded complaint instead of celebrating.




Imagine Stryper are here anow - and how many people got the rejected mail in the past?

Thanks, Corimngul, that was exactly the needed explanation.

Except maybe Christkiller... at the very least he probably saw all 50,000 bands...

I was thinking about adding Throdl, but decided not to... I thought they were nu-metal. Now when I look back, they aren't... and look, they've been added.

It happens, you gotta live with it. No one here is going to delete a band just so you can re-add it, although you haven't really requested that.
