It's one of the uneditable splits; I've noticed quite a few of them where you can't edit their titles, change their album art, add lyrics or often even edit song titles and song lengths. The only (current) solution I could come up with is redoing them, and deleting the uneditable ones.

I cannot upload the picture .. seems like this one is broken, too. I will keep it on my desktop in case the new one shows the same flaw. In case the entry is broken, then please delete the new one, I will re-add it later.

I also fixed the tracklist, the order was wrong.

I have added the release again and got the same error. I simply cannot add a picture to the new release; saved the old one under a new name, no effect; took one from anotehr site, no effect. No idea why ... really ... there seems to be something broken... Morrigan, Hellblazer an idea?

Upload works fine for other releases... just added two releases for Skull Tanker.

So, could it be that there is something wrong with the ZBT page that prevents new splits being added properly. We had the issue with the Angelus Diaboli / ZBT split not very long ago.

I just tried to do the same thing, and also got an instantaneously uneditable split, as well. I would agree, that with the Angelus Diaboli split, it seems to be pointing to ZBT as the culprit.

I also went ahead and tried it with two other splits:

I re-added the one titled "Life Illusion / Hatred Cumshot" and when I went to edit it, it worked fine.

I re-added the one titled "Zarach 'Baal' Tharagh / The Dead Musician" and when I went to edit it, it would not accept my edit.

So far, all those splits for ZBT that can't be edited after the fact all have "Zarach 'Baal' Tharagh" in the title when you go to create it.

EDIT: I went ahead and re-added the split you were working on, but instead titled it as "Vucub Came / Fjällstorm / ZBT" and it works fine. I've been able to edit it over and over again. It's possible MA's software doesn't like the '' surrounding Zarach's middle handle 'Baal'.

Oddly though, if you had titled the split with "ZBT" from the beginning, you can still edit it. You can even change "ZBT" to "Zarach 'Baal' Tharagh" after the fact, and you will still be able to edit the split. It's only when you add "Zarach 'Baal' Tharagh" in the title when you go to create the split that it makes the split uneditable.

Good work. :thumbsup:

Morrigan and/or Hellblazer should look into the matter. Maybe there is a way to solve it.

This would be one of those releases that can also be deleted by an admin.

List updated.

I found a couple improperly listed splits that are a little different:

http://www.metal-archives.com/release.php?id=225657
http://www.metal-archives.com/release.php?id=18266

http://www.discogs.com/Squash-Bowels-Di ... se/1263591

The second split appears to be a re-release of the first just with bonus tracks from both bands. The first split (which should be listed as being released in 1998 not 1994, there are several other sites listing it as 1998 besides discogs.com) it seems to be titled simply "Grind Your Head" according to the artwork, while the second one is titled "Grind Your Fucking Head" and has different artwork. The question is: should this be treated like Cradle of Filth's Thornography with its "Harder, Darker, Faster" re-release or should they be considered separate releases? In my opinion, it should be the first option.

http://www.metal-archives.com/release.php?id=173943
http://www.metal-archives.com/release.php?id=80975

http://www.sevared.com/catalog/product_ ... f0c0d9cfe3

This is obviously a split DVD. There must be some better way to list it than either of these.

There should something done on this issue! Here we have another one:
http://www.metal-archives.com/release.php?id=133993
It was released in late 2000 and not in 2003. The band changed their name in 2001; see bio MySpace; if a mod sees this post, please delete all post 2001 releases, they were released under the new name, then I do not have to write a report on it.

I cannot change the release date and also not edit the additional notes.

There are over 5000 releases with an >'< in the title!

todesengel_hell: Yeah, they can be merged.

Oneyoudontknow: Just submit the band under their new name and add both albums to it.

I'll check if that bug can be fixed.

No, I cannot:

Namek are not metal. I would have submitted them already, but they have been rejected before. So, these two releases can be deleted.

Okie Dokie.

Edit: An update on the apostrophe problem, it's not every album that cannot be updated. For example, I can update Bethlehem's Reflektionen auf's Sterben without a problem.

It seems the apostrophe problem only effects splits that were created with an apostrophe in their title. If you create a split, and then later have the apostrophe added to the title then the split works fine.

I've been compiling a list of uneditable splits (due to apostrophes, etc.) as I've been going through all splits checking for errors...

now does anyone know what to do with these. i couldnt find a tracklisting for all bands for it.

I'm going to try to contact one of the bands but not all the bands are in MA so listing it properly might be kinda tricky.

Two tracks, and then mention that each track is split into parts in the split's additional notes.

The new one is still a "split album", the old one can be edited easily and it saves the trouble with the review.

I spoke for me. As far as I understand, you wanted a mod to delete the split. I told it is less of a trouble for a mod to update the old one than moving the review.
