needs symphonic added to their genre i think

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZGB7_qH104

I can't speak for the band's 2007 EP, but the material on their myspace sounds like some second-rate A Day to Remember post-hardcore garbage with some leftover metalcore riffs and breakdowns sprinkled in. I couldn't readily find the EP up for download anywhere so I guess its up to a mod if they want to change the genre to something like "Melodic Death Metal/Metalcore (early), Post-Hardcore (later)" or if they just want to delete it altogether, unless Grim Wombat possibly has some samples saved somewhere.

I submitted the band based on the 2007 EP and it was accepted based on that. It was exactly what it says it is, melodic death metal/metalcore.

However, they've taken quite a different turn. They used to be a 3 piece and it seems only one of those members remains.

Noktorn's review of this band's album describes them as funeral doom. Listening to it myself, I agree, not only that there seems to be little or no black metal influence.

Actually, in this Youtube sample I hear some black metal, but it has all the characteristics of funeral doom ala Tyranny, Wormphlegm, The Funeral Orchestra, etc.

I continue to wonder why Arghoslent is still listed as "death metal" when they're obviously more melodeath than most melodeath. At the Gates sound like Master in comparison.

Yeah, I agree with the Arghoslent.

Also, At the Gates is listed only as 'Melodic Death Metal', and if 'Melodic Death Metal' is being used in that situation to mean "music like Slaughter of the Soul and such", that might not be the most informative label when the band has other releases, such as The Red in the Sky Is Ours and Gardens of Grief.

Those albums are also melodic death metal, albeit an earlier style.

I forgot to provide a link: http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=3195

Alright, I wasn't sure if this site saw it like that or not. I wasn't sure if 'melodic death metal' was referring to the style found on the earlier albums, as well (I wasn't sure if the site also saw those as melodic death, though a different style of it), or if it was just referring to At the Gate's later style (the melodeath At the Gates became known more for later on).

.357 ( http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=58217 ) is currently listed as Black Metal/ Grindcore. Based on their only demo (which can be heard in its entirety on their myspace, http://www.myspace.com/point357), their genre tag should be changed to deathcore. The grind influence is scarcely present (perhaps, a moderator might be inclined to change their tag to deathcore/grindcore, which could also be acceptable) however, the tag "black metal" is completely inaccurate and should be left out of whatever new genre tag that is chosen.

Hello again. I suggest reflecting Blind Illusion's new direction in their genre field:

http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=684

Can't say what exactly they are playing now, though. Maybe psychedelic/stoner rock?

http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=5740

Their current genre is really misleading.

From what i hear, their early stuff was some kind of folk metal:

But they have become... Rammstein clones:

Folk Metal (early), Industrial rock (now) ?

Fatal Force is listed as Thrash Metal, although it should really be Thrash/Death Metal.

http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=3540291402

32 Mildreds: Listed as Thrash Metal. Should be Thrash Metal/Crossover
http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php? ... b62f890ca7

Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rPQSekAEtw

And lastly: Uncle Slam- Should be Thrash/Crossover
http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=5727

Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRS0N6HKSys

Fatal Force is regular harsher thrash, the vocals are not different from Tom Angelripper or Mille.
And they do not sound like Asphyx at all.

The second band has a regular thrash song, not more hardcore punk based than Anthrax.

This band: http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=25290
The genre should be changed to Epic Doom metal in my opinion. What does Pagan metal mean anyway?

Here is what they sound like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-lEwO26Mio

Both Dead Raven Choir and Nest have genres listed in whole or in part as "Acoustic Folk." May as well say "Electric Metal." How about just "Folk"?

Munruthel - http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=10075
I think it should have power metal in the genre. The current genre is "Dark Ambient (early), Symphonic Black/Folk Metal (later)"

It obviously has more power metal influences than folk, so the later influence should be something like "Symphonic Black/Power Metal with Folk influence" or "Symphonic Black/Power/Folk Metal"

Listen it to here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-SnEKcgJj4

Also, some reviewer said this;
"Basically it sounds like a mixture of Nokturnal Mortum and power metal. This means fast parts, symphonic keyboards and black metal vocals mixed together with more traditional power metal style song writing, clean vocals and choirs plus some very competent guitar shredding. Add a slight folk influence in the shape of several of the melodies and there you have a good description of the music."

I recently found the myspace page for a band I submitted awhile ago and discovered they changed their style to some kind of melodic/symphonic/gothic metal. I don't really know alot about this style so I'll leave it up to the mods to decide...

http://www.myspace.com/funebre

From the Blind Guardian page - Malodic Speed Metal (early), Power/Progressive Metal (later)

http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=3

Yeaaaaaah, little bit of a typo there. Also, what was wrong with just "Speed Metal (early)" ... ?

and now it just says power metal, i think just Speed/Power metal is fine seeing as they still do speed metal songs

Especially considering that their early material is Teutonic speed metal to a T.

Agreed, the early material is definitely healthy speed metal, though I haven't listened to much post-1995 BG so I wouldn't know.

half of the new album is pretty much speed metal, although not quite as brutal as their first 2 albums

http://metal-archives.com/band.php?id=56091

I have a review on Terrorizer mag saying that this band was Industrial , and i quote "... darker Godflesh... rawer GGFH...grinding vocals"

This is reguarding the 2nd demo. Dunno about the 1st/other(s) demos but tag should be updated.

The Isosceles Project
current genre: Progressive Metal
http://metal-archives.com/band.php?id=3540291889

I just saw this band live last night, and progressive metal is their musical basis, but it only scratches the surface. These guys are incredibly technical players (something along the lines of Messhugga and their use of poly-rhythms and all that) alongside some healthy post-rock leanings.

Suggested genre: Technical/Progressive Metal/Post-Rock

http://metal-archives.com/band.php?id=3540277981

The Kris Norris Projekt - Currently listed as "Extreme Progressive Metal/shred" - "Extreme Progressive Metal" would be more appropriate as the record is not based around lead guitar.

Kris stated in an interview that he intended for the record to NOT be a shred/lead guitar record: "I could have shredded all over the place ... I didn’t want to do that because there are so many other guys who can do that way better than me. If people wanted to hear a lead guitar record, they’d go buy the new Jeff Loomis record. They don’t need another one from me. "

Vargavinter (Nld)
http://metal-archives.com/band.php?id=81729
current genre: Melodic Death / Doom Metal with Black influences

Melodic Black/Death/Doom or Melodic Blackened Death/Doom should be fine, and more proper grammatically. Music @ http://www.myspace.com/vargavinter2006

Also, the genre for Satan's Host looks really cluttered as it is now. I think "Heavy Metal (early), Black/Death Metal (later)" would be better.

Deceased's later work is listed as "Thrash/Heavy Metal" which I think is very inaccurate. While they do have traditional heavy metal influences, their music is generally "Death/Thrash Metal"

Here are examples of their later work:

It's Alive (2001): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPzR3_rUB74
A Witness to Suspiria (2005): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaGzR1zzJh8
Fearless Undead Machines (1997): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKASz_ZGYFA
Dark Chilling Heartbeat (2000): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hhh7hQktKQc

Evil Blood:
http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=52426
(links are on the MA page)

The genre should be Speed/Thrash Metal/First-Wave Black, if you ask me.

There are two bands on the Metal Archives labeled as Brutal Death Metal and I think this is total nonsense. Has anyone even listened to these bands before labeling them as Brutal Death Metal?

I really don't want to pretend to be an expert on genre classification because I'm not but these bands both sound more like old school death metal bands to me, Wafat maybe with some grind influences. They sure as hell don't sound like any of my Brutal Death Metal Records.

These are the albums:
Necrotic Chaos - Regime Grotesque (2003) (Mys)
http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=4253
Dl link: http://www.rapidshare.com/files/4161595 ... __Mys_.rar

Wafat - Cemetery Of Cellarage (1997) (Idn)
http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=3540287668
Dl link: http://www.mediafire.com/?tmtx5czotzm

To be honest they don't sound like my old school death records either so maybe I'm wrong but it would be a really really really special original kind of Brutal Death if it is that.

I hope someone with some actual knowledge of these things can look into it and explain why this would be Brutal Death Metal after actually having listened to the albums.

I listened to nearly every Brutal Death release listed on the archives a while back and that was how I found these albums but there was nothing else on here tagged Brutal Death that sounded like these bands so it must be wrong.

Just out of interest I got their compiled work... I mean Speed/Thrash sure since they're playing Metallica covers (closest thing I've ever heared to Hetfields vocals). But apart from them kind of looking satanic there is nothing even remotely first wave Black Metal about this?!

Syncardion:
http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=49263
Currently listed as Death/Thrash Metal

I listened to their album and based on what I heard they play Melodic Death Metal. Their myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/syncardion

They sound pretty much like Venom if you ask me. Btw, where do they play Metallica covers? And vocalist doesn't sound like Hetfield, at least IMHO, more like Cronos, but I'm just intersted what had you heard from them?

Evil Blood - The Best of Djinn / Evil Blood -83'-86'
Dl link: http://rapidshare.com/files/125387920/E ... y_wtyd.rar

They play Metallica covers and Venom played only 1 real black metal song which was "witching hour". Each and every song has Metallica rewritten all over it... And that is Hettfield.

OK, I listened to that demo collection before and I think it at least fits as Speed/Thrash. And which song is Metallica cover? I'm really interested.

Btw, I thought I'm the only one to think this about Witching Hour and Metallica
