It's a split, and there are some technical issues on splits, often preventing normal users from updating them. Report the information, a mod can most likely do the updates.

In case you wonder about the recent band rejection :
a) it was not metal
b) it had no releases yet
c) the possible future release does not seem to be released on a label with worldwide distribution.

I recommend you to read this urgently:

Thank you for your kind reply.


Concerning the band, I added it as a side project of a multi metal bands musician (as all the ambient, neofolk, medieval stuff found here)

Regards

O.K., but there are strict rules, which all such projects must follow, so for the future, please respect them and especially do not add bands, which have no releases yet.

We accept the following non-metal bands in certain cases (these exceptions can be ambiguous and debatable - scroll down for details):

* Side-projects of metal band members (ex: Pain, Wongraven, Die Verbannten Kinder Eva's)
Note that side-projects will only be eligible if they have at least one release on a label with worldwide distribution (to avoid a flood of bedroom/MySpace bands

7) Proof of existence

First, the band must have at least released SOME material. If you don't even have a demo... forget it. The band might have been formed, even got a logo, but how will we know that they won't just disband before even recording any song? An mp3 or two on MySpace or mp3.com-like websites is not enough. The band must have a demo out - this is the minimum. If you want to add your band, and you *know* you will release something soon, simply wait until it's released before submitting it!

Fair enough.

Thank you.
