I've looked it up in this thread and have seen it mentioned, but with no definitive answer from a mod. I'm really curious about Alice Cooper's 1987 album, Raise Your Fist and Yell. To my ear it's an 80s heavy metal/hard rock album, with riffs and solos characteristic of the time. That said, I can understand why it'd be considered one of those borderline records like KISS's Creatures of the Night. Here are samples. Thanks.

I tried to submit the band Juniper Grave but was told that band had already been submitted by someone else, Obviously that's fine if they have, but I don't see them in the Band Queue, could someone clear this up for me? Thanks.

Looks like Juniper Grave was in the queue at the same time, but was rejected for being primarily occult rock. You just got the insta-reject for being a duplicate is all.

Creatures of the Night is a great comparable - it's at the edge of the knife on the other side of where we draw the line. It's close, but it's also a convenient place to draw the line, for the most metallic works of these iconic rock artists, and they're sure as hell rock 'n' roll, too.

Enwinted from Macedonia (FYROM)
The band was probably blacklisted because their first EP, or maybe because the Katatonia tribute album (every song was a Katatonia tribute).
This project released an album, all songs are his own work, no cover as I researched here on MA.
The music is the same boring pointless depressive BM, but I think it can be added in the archives, as I want to keep macedonian (fyrom) part of the MA fully updated:

Is Blame God's newer album acceptable? They're a grindcore band with two releases. The one from 2016 is very punk based and not acceptable, but the one from last year seems to have a lot of death metal elements and have more acceptable riffs.

Hey i'm new here and i Just wanted to add my band nocturnal scum but it said the band was blacklisted. I don't really get why maybe you can help me out. Nocturnal Scum is a deathmetal/crustcore band from Berlin Germany.
Here's the Demo:

It was blacklisted for being crust. The demo you're indicating was taken in consideration for the blacklist.

Black list says predominantly Mallcore, I agree.

Blacklisted based off both releases. Says "punk-based grind". I have to admit, that there are death metal influences and riffs, but I still agree with the blacklist. Stays.

Blacklisted in 2016 for being more rock than metal. Seems to still be the case.

Hi,

When trying to submit the band Heylel from Portugal I get the info that this band is blacklisted.
However, they seem to fulfill all requirements (4 released albums, both digital and physical), they have a label and an agency and belong to a metal subgenre.
Trying to search for the reason before writing here didn't bring any results.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Blacklisted for being more rock than metal in 2016. Have they released anything new since then that may be more metal?

Yes, both Shades of Time (2017) and specially Metamorphosis (2018) should fit in. Want me to provide links? Any preferred content/website?

Thanks for the whitelisting of Foghound. Here is a post by a musician from the previous page, which should not get overlooked, since he uploaded the eentire album of his band on request. Even if the album is only a digital one, it is very professionally made and it is certainly no bedroom amateurish stuff. So, in case the music will be considered acceptable, could please a moderator reinstate the original submission, since I have already reported all the needed proof of valid release there? Thanks.

Trying to register US Deathgrind act, Cunt Tree, and it says that it's blacklisted. It is definitely grindcore oriented, but I am of the mind that it's metal enough for the archives. Any chance of whitelisting? https://deathportalstudio.bandcamp.com/ ... e-retarded

I have a general question regarding how non-metal side projects work: what deems one acceptable and another not to be on this site? I like seeing bands like Infectious Grooves on here, but what makes an almost metal band, like the Dave Brockie Experience (side project of GWAR members), not allowed?

Hi foooolks long time I don't post here.
I agree with the decisions that the staff makes when it comes approving or rejecting a band. But this time I would like to appeal an explanation of E.D.O (Existencia de Odio) [Argentina] rejection.
Rejection note says "Has metal moments but it's predominantly hardcore punk"
I could agree but I found that this band is more metal that hardcore/punk, that's why I submitted it, I'm not yelling "Accept da band yo elephants niggos is t00 metol" (kidding) but I would really think this band deserves an entry. If it'll not it's okay though :) *^^*

Ehhhh... the guitars in are mixed in a metal way, but I'm not hearing very many riffs. There's a lot of low-aggro palm-mute chugging but the music seems dominated by the symphonics and vocals. Other mods feel free to chime in, but I'm a no.

Blacklisted for being punk-based grind. The music personally sounds like it might be metal enough to me. However, the overall recording quality is crappy enough that I don't think this is an acceptable digital-only release. If they have a physical release of this album I wouldn't mind whitelisting it to get some more opinions in the band queue. Otherwise the blacklisting is still valid.

Blacklist from 2016 says it's too prog. Listening to their 2016 album, it has metal influences, but to me it sounds like The Number Twelve Looks Like You. Spazzy mathcore with post-hardcore influences, not really metal.

Some factors we consider are the renown of the project in question, how connected it is to the metal scene, how well-known and connected to the metal scene its members are, and whether or not the project has stood the test of time and made several releases. This isn't an exhaustive list of criteria, but we generally don't give projects extra weight for being "almost metal".

I agree with the blacklisting of Fecality and Existencia de Odio. Both are borderline but seem more on the punk side of their respective genres to me.

Hi guys, I was searching for the band The Convalescence and I was surprised when I noticed they're blacklisted. I've looked in the topic, and one user asked about that band some years ago (2014). I don't know about their previous albums, but I think that their last, released in 2017 by Unique Leader is Deathcore way more on the Metal side than the core side. I usually totally agree with your decisions about borderline bands, but maybe this time this band needs to be reconsidered.

Here's the latest album: https://uniqueleaderrecords.bandcamp.co ... is-is-hell

Thanks.


someone?

I was involved in the evaluation process and it was quite borderline to me. It has Death Metal-based songs, punk based songs, bouncy grind and everything inbetween, but overall it doesn't quite feel like it's on the right side of the fence.

If were accepting neocrust bands now, could Disfear and Wolfhammer be re-evaluated?

Are we? Isn't that just Crustcore + Hardcore?
(also Wolfhammer isn't blacklisted yet)

I saw Tragedy and Fall of Efrafa here (rightfully, since they're on the more metallic side), and Disfear is just Motorhead on steroids

Both of which weren't accepted based on their early (crust) outputs. But if you provide a link to an album of them that you think is acceptable, I can give it a listen given that the blacklist is really old ;)
