rEGARDING dEAD rAVEN cHOIR:
i THINK , THAT THE MODS COULD START WITH THIS COMPILATION, WHICH GIVES A GOOD OVERVIEW ABOUT THE BAND'S STYLE:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3uQTPWA9D4
i THINK, THAT THE ARE MORE FULL ALBUMS ON yOUTUBE, TOO.

It's not just about the number of bands per post... Please read my previous post again. I think it was quite clear as to the core message there.


I have Slsk, I'm on it.

Also, my issue with those Hunde des Krieges links is not necessarily that they're dead, but that it keeps saying I'm using a VPN (I'm not) and thus can't download it.

I am inclined to keep World Hate Center listed. Morrigan also seemed to think so back in 2011 (although she only had one song available).

the crack and calvados download works for me, will check the other one tomorrow

Thanks, Paganiusi, that's a big help. I am glad, that i most likely have to upload the links somewhere.

Dead Ballerinas (Ger):
The band played glam/hard rock, not heavy metal.
Unfortunately I could not find a download of the whole album , but I hope that these four songs would give a godd idea about the general songs on the album:

Genius Hired Guns (USA):
The debut album only sounds like alternative rock, not as alternative metal and hard rock.

Bandcamp stuff works, of course, but I again have the same problem with the other links, so can't check. Looking at the modification history, I was the one who approved them in 2015. From the sounds of the 2014 full-length it might be fine, although there is a lot of hardcore in it indeed.

Thanks Azmodes. As for the ex.Load links, Paganiusi seems to be able to download from them, so maybe you could contact him for the Crack/Calvados and Hunde des Krieges albums? The band Morgenröte, which have also posted, also seems to have the links to their two albums only there.

I found this, the full album to download:

Hunde des Krieges sounds acceptable to me. Stays.

And how about the Crack/Calvados split? Reagrding Crack, since Calvados itself is clearly acceptable?

You know, Witcher, you don't need to instantly hound us about every single thing if it didn't get addressed just yet. Pag told you that he was checking that split. There is no need to constantly go "and what about this? and what about this?". We don't always address absolutely everything in a post, only the things we feel we can already comment on. We're on it, as mentioned a number of times, and are slowly working our way through the build-up in this thread. All the ceaseless bumping and impatient posts tend to have the opposite effect, making us want to deal with it all less and less. You'll probably think that this is a disproportionate response, but I must confess to being a little tired of your relentless approach in these matters.

If you don't hear any metal is Australasia, I think you're going to have a frustrating time on this forum.

Tors Vrede (Sweden):
The band is listed as viking metal, but to me it sounds like viking rock, the sstyle, which bands like Ultima Thule and Heroes made popular:

Regarding Crack (Rus).
The band can't have been accepted based on the split as it was released two years after the band got added to MA.
Tracked down their other releases...well, most of them.
The debut is straight up Punk.
Only found two samples of "Gloria", but those sound like Thrash to me.
"Пусть льётся кровь" sounds like Punk with some Motörhead and Thrash going on here and there.

Inclined to keep the band unless there's a full stream of "Gloria" somewhere, since the samples I found were fine.

O.K., thanks. I'll wait, if that Gloria album does appear ssomewhere in the future.

In the 98 or 90% of the occasions, I almost always find all musically available to download or streaming, but in the case of Crack's sophomore album, it's incredible, because there are no results on Google, 0 to be more precise. However, I will continue to strive to find it.

Alright, Muhammadabbadabba provided us with the full album.
Perfectly fine, metal-wise.
Band stays

Both nuked.

Why was Compression accepted? They sound pretty hardcore to me: https://www.metal-archives.com/report/v ... /show/mine

Regarding Compression: Here is their official Bandcamp with samples:
https://compression.bandcamp.com/

This was approved only in January, by a moderator I generally trust to draw the line for these things.


I have been listening to this band on and off over the past few weeks and I'm just not sure about it. I don't think it's obviously deletable, but I find it hard to concentrate.


Deleted. It appears due to lack of samples back then this was accepted in good faith based on an interview and a related band's sound.

Removed.


Removed.

Removed Factory (UK), melodic hard rock.

Thank you very much, my friend.

There was someone told me, a mod to be more specific, that there are 2 bands of the large unnecessary list that I published a long time ago, that sound potentially nukeable, which are these:

Amora Savant (USA): Metalcore predominantly core:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=O ... eUQc8SzUmM

A Crow's Glory (Canada): Straight-up hardcore instead of metalcore:
https://acrowsglory.bandcamp.com/

About Dead Raven Choir, all the obvious folk/noise/whatever stuff aside, their raw bm/noise material varies in how riffy it actually is. A lot of it sounds more like guitar-driven noise, if you will. A lot of it is just... crap? We're still going through that portion of the discography. I don't want to rush this, considering that it's quite a large entry, also with a lot of reviews.


I'm on it. Will check all three full-lengths.


There's a semi-rule/precedent that for these one-single NWOBHM bands that as long as one of the tracks is metal, it's fine. It's pretty common for these things to have one softer track/ballad and one metal track. So it seems that this is okay to keep.

Unsurprisingly, the first two The Hunt albums are hard rock. The one linked is riding the line, but the overall vibe I get is a heavy metal one. IMO acceptable, bareliest of barelies.

A repost aofof a band list narrowedby me from two pages back. Genius Hired Guns were already deleted, but the other bands are also really ¨problematic in my opinion.

Children Of Gaia: modern hardcore based metalcore:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWTvxuxqxls

https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/14-22/3540278767

Why was 14-22 accepted? Their only release was that full-length listed there, but I couldn't find a single song or sampler anywhere in the web, and apparently the only place that mentions that album is Wikipedia in Spanish and some random pages related to metal, but nothing else.

Did the submitter of the band provide samplers and/or an image of the CD back then?

Presumably yes, it's a rather old entry, so the submission notes are gone.
It was also mentioned in this biography: https://web.archive.org/web/20070803182 ... /cenci.htm

Good decision! I'd compare them to The Rods, not the sharpest riffing but definitely metal.

We'll keep it. Based on Grand Ravishing Extravaganza, possibly some others too.

Both deleted.


I was the one who approved them, still sounds okay to me.


hm, leaning towards it being borderline acceptable alt/groove metal. Debatable, I suppose, really knuckle-dragging stuff...

Anything that hasn't yet been addressed up until this post can be bumped in the interest of clarity.

Deznuke (Costa Rica): Hardcore in Spanish until now:

Thanks, Azmodes. Herew are some reposts.
