Well, both of them must answer for their opinions themselves.

Since Drathul (Chad Davis) is in several other bands that ARE metal I do think that the side-project rule might be viable here. Of course I am not a mod so don't use me as a reference. On the other hand it seems as though Profane Grace is one of his first bands so in that respect it will be impossible to count this as a side project.
Tricky one this one!

Actually Profane Grace is a side project of Ixithra, not Drathrul. If anybody can prove that none of the albums was released on a label with worldwide distribution, then it might get deleted.

My comment was meant in the vein of: if you did some research before posting you might find you shouldn't have posted at all!

I know your busy but with the discussion my post was forgotten

Seems like another mod already took care of that.

It's not an "opinion" that later Meshuggah lacks any sort of metal riffing, it's a fact. Just listen to the music and all you'll hear is rhythmic chugging akin to the modern hardcore subgenres of rock'n'roll music, not the driving riffing of any metal genre.

Deleted Deviate Damaen. Darkwave.

Shouldn"t Oracle (USA) be deleted?

http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Oracle/1652

Their album is only a rerelease (with new cover and label, Massacre Records) of the demo released as Prodigy

Yes, deleted. The original tracklist of the demo is also a bit different from the re-release, but apart from that it's the same album. I added notes and such.

So why exactly was Oracle deleted and not Prodigy? They changed their name legitimately as far as I know, and they seem much better known under the Oracle name, and also when you deleted Oracle you deleted the only reviews for the album.

I was under the impression that the name/entry under which an album was originally released takes precedence and if a band hasn't released anything under the other name that it should only be mentioned in a note concerning the re-release(s) under the later moniker. If renown and such should sometimes come into the equation, then I can only say that I didn't know that and apologize.

Regarding the reviews, I told both users to resubmit them for the new entry (and saved them on my hard drive, just in case).

Not metal, and it's no side project of an actual metal musician

Someone cleared the legacy lineup without adding the former members and/or they were guest musicians in the band's albums: http://v1.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=5108

I laughed a lot when i saw this here. It really has no place to be here, all they do is remix songs from Romanian gypsy/pop music or "manele" singer Denisa, so it's a cover band...

Weird band. It's not cover band.
They used only vocals as far I know.
Music is strictly metal and new.
I asked about this band another mods before I've added it.
I also heard that most popular tabloid in Romania wrote about this band, two times

What the hell is "menele"? haha

Well yeah it's pretty interesting to combine manele with metal, since here in Romania, the two are polar opposites. Let's just say that there's tension between fans of manele and fans of rock/metal.

So in conclusion if you use the vocal and "folk instrument" parts of a manele song and put metal behind it it's not a cover band?


Here's everything you need to know about it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manele

If it's new music, then yes.
I will play it again

Delete this: http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Ant ... 3540331377
This is a typo of a band already here:
http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Ant ... 3540330097

Done

It's kind of a gray area, I think. I'd definitely be for keeping Oracle instead of Prodigy, though, because from a practical standpoint I'm sure the vast majority of people looking the band up here are going to be looking for Oracle and not Prodigy. Also, good job saving the reviews. It's a big pet peeve of mine when reviews get lost under dubious circumstances like these.

Alright, I've been in contact with Mr. Bob Egler (or, "He of Many Projects"):

http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/1534/infoky.png

... aaaaaaaaand apparently, the project listed under his name is bogus... somebody must've added it by mistake, as Bob himself can't figure out what the hell it is.

Check the last paragraph of the screenshot above.

Hello,

About Bob Egler, It was me who added it and i made no mistake. In fact i 've added a review on "Music Extreme" or "Beowolf Productions" zines if i recall well, on the links so that the existence of the cd was to be proved.

This link is now deleted and i don´t exactly recall where or how i got to that review.

Also i didnt add that label to the page or change the notes from ""Bob Egler" (10 song CD , 2003)" to ""Bob Egler" (10-track CDr, 2003)".
And I wonder how this info was obtained...

If the guy denies the existence of the band/project, its because he didnt provide the correct info to the webzine or the webzine did a mistake and didnt recognize any name in the making of the review.

One thing is for sure, the band to be accepted had to have evidence and i provided a submission with links for reviews with that name "Bob Egler".
Perhaps the V1 of this page can be helpfull in recovering the link or something, sinse i am not an big expert in informatics.

Hello,

The lately accepted band Horrendus has no discography/links added to the band's page and I can't find anything regarding the band on google. Will the moderator who accepted the band update the page with the appropriate information? Thanks.

http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Tur ... 3540332038 should be removed the demo was released under the name http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Tur ... 3540328904

Thanks, deleted. My bad.

http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Pan ... 3540332070 should be removed and the page should be merged with http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Pantheon/9037

And thanks again. That's indeed too minor a name change, come to think of it. This band queue marathon I'm doing right now is messing with my head, I think.

Welcome, someone should do the hard work. I was also wondering why the band Seeds of Iblis got rejected ?

I don't think I rejected them. What did the rejection email say?

I don't know, it wasn't me who submitted the band but probably because the EP is soon to be released as they say on their myspace page that's strange I'm quite sure I've seen a pic for the cd somewhere.

If they say on their MySpace that it's going to be released soon instead of it's been released on a past date, you wondering this is a bit surprising. Are you sure you thought this over well enough before posting? Just asking.

Well, not much of a mystery there. Both the Myspace and the label page have it under "soon to be released", with no contradicting info anywhere else.

EDIT: What he said.

Someone who knows about black metal (that is to say not me ) should look into this report: http://www.metal-archives.com/report/vi ... 6/show/all

I asked about the band because I was quite sure that I've seen a picture for the release somewhere. Later on, after I posted my question, I checked the band's myspace and the label's webpage and they both say that the ep is soon to be released. So yes this was a bit surprising for me.

Seems like pure anachronism. It's surprising NSBM bands want to emulate Velvet Cacoon.

Dormant Inferno from India - deleted.
Still nothing released on CD.
