Hey, yesterday I submitted my band. Today I check out and it is not in the queue, nor in the database, which probably means that it has been rejected.
So I have two problems, one is that I'm not sure if it was rejected or not, since I've submitted bands in the past and always got the email saying what happened to the submission, and the other is that I don't understand why was it rejected.

So if anybody has the answer to any of those problems, please let me know.

It was rejected for lack of proof about the demo. You need a proof, that the demo was released physically- a link to distro, review in a webzine, scan of the complete Cd or tape, ordering info and similar.

When you choose to have that crappy myspace as the only source of info for your band, do not wonder at a rejection - myspace is not particularly trustful l- you have it even written so in the rules.

As for the e-mail - some users do not get them because of some technical issue, but the mods cannot help you with that.

Ok, then.
I've posted a link with the music somewhere, but I guess it's not gonna be enough, so I'll see if I can get a cover pic or something.

The crappy myspace site is because it's the first time I do a myspace thing. I'm not that good at ciomputer stuff, and I'm doing what I can. I thought that my reputation on the site would allow some trust on me, but I understand if not.

So would you say that a full booklet pic would be enough?

Yes, surely, the music is metal, the problem was the proof.

Ok, thank you.
I'll re-submit it in a few days, along with the proof.
