Sorry Insanity_Headbanger, Encyclopaedia Metallum was forced to reject your
submission for the band *Shels (United Kingdom), for the following reason:
Not metal; does not belong.
Why band like Nest which is categorized as Atmospheric Acoustic & Ambient could be on Metal Archives and bend like *Shels who is Experimental/Post Metal/ Ambient is rejected. I have worked for almost an hour adding this band with all possible information and now it's all history.
I want logic explanation.Please look again and judge if they should be or not.
When you would actually read the rules, you would notice the Nest is here only because of that damned side project rule.
Otherwise, the bands have to be real metal to get accepted and the band in question is alternative rock/modern rock - the Deftones comparisons on their page are quite valid.
Ambient is not metal, never was metal and never will be metal. Post-Metal is only further pseudo genre, which does not describe anything and which only serves as a disguise for technical core and alternative bands.
Read the rules and respect them. Period.
