I recently got th ep of the czech band Thief" Deux Ex Mmachina" and it is certainly not progressive metal. The style on it could be described as alternative/nu-metal/metalcore with hearable influences from bands like Korn or Tool. Please, listen to the entire ep here: http://bandzone.cz/thief
Here are some of their old demo songs (I do not own their first demo): https://www.youtube.com/user/thieftom

SotLB and myself will re-evaluate this. True, it needs a genre change at least!
[EDIT]: We both find it riffy enough. Most of the stuff is acceptable Groove Metal. Genre was changed to "Groove/Alternative/Nu-Metal"

Астра/Astra sounds at least very borderline hard-n-heavy, worth revaluation. RAR.

It has a single heavy/speed metal song (Track 9: Марш мотоциклистов).
The rest is bluesy hard rock in the vein of Rainbow/Deep Purple/Uriah Heep/early Whitesnake (and so on).
Not even borderline, really. Removed!

100% DJENT. Just a carbon-copy of Meshuggah between 98' and 05', nothing more, nothing less. They're gone.

Apathetical Syndrome needs to be revaluated, sounds too much ambient. download.

SotLB and myself agreed that there's way to much ambient wich makes the DSBM side not prominent enough.
Besides, it was previously rejected years ago by TUA for similar reasons (we support him).

Which album was Oxbow accepted off of? I always considered them to be a noise rock band in the vein of The Jesus Lizard, Big Black, etc. While they do have their heavy/sludge moments, the majority of their work seems to be based in noise and experimental rock.

Probably "An Evil Heat", that's why their are currently listed as "Stoner/Doom Metal, Avant-garde".

Sure, it will be re-evaluated.

Re-evaluation probably needed.
https://store.cdbaby.com/Artist/WeepingTheBlack
https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/We ... 3540322636
Dunno if anyone's interested in buying the digital release. Of what I've heard, I'm not.

Can't find the first demo, though:
https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/W ... ima/297890

I've updated the page, because there's little to go on, but it's a name to keep in mind... Weeping the Black.

Found a new song, linked in an old report:

Dimora is available on Spotify.

There's a review of Meaning in Lacrima who refers it as nü-metal on the first song and tracks 2,3 as ballads. Four track is referred as half-ballad.
Dimora is Godsmack/Disturbed nü-metal. I'm absolutely nuking this!

Thanks, Anti.

Another one: Steven Patrick, former vocalist of Holy Soldier. There is one real heavy metal song on "Red Reign", namely "Fire", but again, the rest of the album is predominantly hard rock imo. Full album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n34o8-o ... FMCqvDJbc7

His second album"Guns&Gold" is entirely in country&blues style and has nothing to do with metal whatsoever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCqiowa7QpY

Thanks, Azmodaz.
Another band I was wondering about recently is Holy Soldier. I know, that they were accepted based on their first album, but I was listening to it recently and ffrankly I do not find any difference in style or heaviness between H"Holy Soldier" and "Last Train". They both sound to me like Ratt's Out Of The Cellar album, combined with Dokken's more hard rock material, also more Har rock than metal. The only songs, that could be called metal on the debut are "Tear Down The Walls" and with some hesitation "See No Evil" , which has something similar to Queensryche, the rest is predominantly hard rock imo. The third album is grunge inspired modern hard rock, by the way. Here are all three albums:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFx5KCtQsvk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-l4GzF234A
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-0pi_B ... 5D5E4E2C33



Please, can somebody react on this. Also on Steven Patrick's solo career?


AThanks again. Here is another repost from page 97, Holy soldier. Here are also their twoearly demos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5cjlY3RcXE

Here is a repost from previous page, These two Irish bands were submitted by the same user, who also added Ez Feelin. Both bands have released only one single, so the review for example Stryder should not last long, unfortunately I can't find the second song from the single anywhere. If the song would be really needed, maybe other users could help: I found another review of Stryder's single and they ccompare them again to Thin Lizzy.

Stryder is somewhat borderline and deserves a re-evaluation based on the entire single.
Freeway. The review doesn't specify which era of Def Leppard we're talking about. There's a small chance it's metal-enough if it's in the same vein of the first album.

It doesn't hurt if we keep both of them until the missing tracks surfaces.

Thanks, Witcher.

Edit: To have the Holy Soldier samples complete, here are their two early demos. The first one, the three track demo from 1985, is really heavy metal in style, while the second demo from 1988 is already in the polished hard rock style of the debut album:

A repost from page 96, original post is over a month old. Did anybody already have a chance to listen to Crashdiet's discography?

They will be re-judged by the staff. It may take some time to be done, though. Patience.

In fact, we're focusing on these two demos. We'll get to a decision soon and post it here.
[EDIT]: Removed! A raw, borderline demo among a discography of three full albums plus an EP and various minor releases consisting of pure hard rock doesn't make it qualify to keep it on the database.

Frozen Rose - predominantly hard rock. Thefirst song on their 1991 ep has some metal riffing, but then it gets all commercial in the hard rock style inspired by Kiss and stay so until the end. The vocalist is really good, but the music is unfortunately not predominantly metal. Listen to the whole ep here: https://archive.org/details/FrozenRoseFrozenRoseEP_0
https://myspace.com/frozenroseusa
Please, read also this review: http://melodic-hardrock.com/frozen-rose ... rose-1991/

Edit: Bootleg (Swe(( The review of this band should not take too long, since they have only one single and here are both songs from it. Predominantly hard rock imo:

You're welcome, man. I'll review Bootleg asap. Cheers.

[EDIT]: "Dagdrömmar" sounds like Iron Maiden on their debut and/or early Saxon.
"Tankar Om Dej" on the other side is more rockish (perhaps, like first Leppard).

Borderline as fuck but it makes the cut. Let's keep it ;)

Two mods approved this back in 2016 and I'm supporting their vision aswell, this have lots of classic metal riffing.
It has a glam vibe yes, but this sounds more like Savatage meets early Motley Crue than Poison or Warrant.

A strongly suspicious band is Powerage (USA) from Pittsfield. The band and their single are listed as "blues/hard rock" at Discogs. Unfortunately I cnnot find any samples, but I rely on the other users or mods, that they could find some now or in the future. In any case, i found it important to list the band here as potentially deletable and problematic:

The guy claiming he was never in the band with no evidence besides "Im a black puerto rican and could never support anything like that", when there are plenty of NS people in countries like Indonesia, isn't enough for the band to get removed or for him to get removed from it. Neither is there being nothing about the band on the internet. Whitewashing is a very common thing, and that's likely what this is.

As a complementary comment on SotLB's post, yes, whitewashing is a very common thing *ESPECIALLY* among nazi-wannabes.

And yes, skin color and nationality is not a particularly big impediment for nazi wannabes to be nazi wannabes.

I've taken assignment of the report. The person who submitted the band is still active, and there may be a chance they remember where they got information about the band, and how they confirmed that the artist is who he says he is. While it is just as likely it's your typical Nazi whitewashing attempt, it's also entirely possible it's not. We weren't the most meticulous back in 2004, so I'll wait to see, first, if the submitter remembers anything.

While it has its metal moments, this doesn't sound predominantly metal to me. Shred mostly.

Hi here is paranoia, I think that this band should be removed.

If you download the link to the demo : http://portugalunderground.blogspot.com ... or-de.html
You'll hear that this is not metal... In my opinion, the sound is so raw, we can't really hear any thrash riffs. Maybe more a kind of hardcore or whatever.

Maybe they have released something metal, but that is not.

So guys, what do you think about it?

Re: Auschwitz from Puerto Rico
- I've ended up deleting it. There's enough evidence to indicate that the release was very likely invalid and that the music is predominantly pornogrind and not metal. There is evidence that it existed, however.

Deleted Bacchus from Belgium - rock, honestly not even close to metal.

Casting doubt on a band so others can help.
https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Subliminal/112888

I've come across this through the random search function, and I remembered having seen the debut on CD while rummaging through someone's collection a couple of years back. I stopped and picked up the CD as I didn't know what it was, and asked him what genre the band played, and he said nu-metal. I put it down and moved on to other stuff. I didn't expect the band to be on the archives, and until yesterday, I'd forgotten all about it.

Anyway, while I realise (as I type) that my post bears no weight, I'm putting this out there for those who have the CD or have heard the songs first-hand. I can't find anything myself.

This one? link 1 / link 2.
I couldn't find any info on their 98' demo nor any musical samples.

This isn't the one I saw. I saw the other one with the dead man's face.
This one - second link - is cheap, though. Is it a Spanish site? Hope someone's interested enough to grab it.
Thanks, MR. Appreciated. :)

Safe Haven is a very questionable entry, though it's possible it's here because of a "side project" rule.

I know that Mike Vescera (who has been on many albums I have discussed on my YouTube channel) is the vocalist, so I'm thinking it's listed here for this reason only. However, Safe Haven's sole album is more AOR than anything else going from what I've heard, as opposed to the usual traditional metal Vescera usually performs.

Suspiria from Mexico was added to the queue before by me on 2018-09-19. But it was rejected due to the reason "very poor sound quality and a terrible mix". I accepted that, totally. But today it was added to the site by the mod. What's going on? If it finally qualified as a eligible digital-only band, my submission should be restored, right?

https://suspiriamx.bandcamp.com/releases

My submission:
https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Su ... 3540445298

Mod's:
https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Su ... 3540447794

Respect you guys, as alway.
