Spam promote your: band, label, distro, blog, reviews, artwork etc in here [although better places for reviews are around]

- If you wish you can cross post your trade lists in here too but they will get buried.
- Create as many threads in here as you like, bump them as often as you like, get it out of your system :nods:
- One thread per band or album - no worries
- No NSBM, RAC, Hatecore, etc. music that uses the platform to push a bigoted, racist, xenophobic, homophobic etc. agenda.

Actual spam should be reported so I can unmercifully ban them.

Any questions?

heya, NN here.
just submitted a promo for my new album.
it's called <<ESOTERIK NAZISM>> but is not race-related at all, it's an HM/OCCULT ROCK visual album.
just wanted to make that clear.
see you in Port Pegasus i hope.

Hello! I tried to start a new topic last week but it still hasn't appeared on this Promotional Forum. It was mentioned that new topics go through an admin check so I'm wondering if there's a problem of some sort?

It has been approved since. Usually new posts and threads are dealt with relatively quickly, but sometimes things pile up. Don't worry, only the first two posts need to go through that process. It's primarily meant to filter out spam bots.

Okay, thanks for the information! Topic seems to be up and running now.

Added a rule to the original post:

- No NSBM, RAC, Hatecore, etc. music that uses the platform to push a bigoted, racist, xenophobic, homophobic etc. agenda.

This policy has technically been in place all along, but it has not been explicitly written down, although it shouldn't come as a surprise that Metal Archives does not involve itself or provide a platform for the promotion of bigoted propaganda.

I am trying to get a horror movie channel going on Youtube. I know its been done a million times. I'm trying to put own spin on it, reviews if I can really get it going. Is it ok to advertise it here? I don't keep up anything that comes up as copyrighted.

New users have to wait for pist approval as a way to combat spambots

Does the album or band has to be my band, or can it be someone elses?

Doesn't have to be yours.

If you have a thread for your band here, you can use that to post updates about merch etc. If you don't have one yet, feel free to make one, and post there. So, yes is the answer. :D

Hello there. I'd like to make a post about a new album that already prominent artists (such as Timo Tolkki) and bands have been working on. In my post not only I give a brief introduction, but I also want to include the tracklist with all the artists involved and leave some links (non-commercial stuff, just Facebook and a homepage). The thing is that I want to discuss about it, know what other people think about it, but when I thought a little more about the post, I noticed that I might be promoting the album. So I'm confused on whether I should submit my post here in the Promotional Forum or in Metal Discution. What should I do?

If you want to discuss a metal album featuring well-known musicians, it's definitely for Metal Discussion forum. I understand that making that thread is likely to bring that album to the attention of people who wouldn't have heard of it otherwise, and therefore can help promote it, but that's not a problem. We only take issue when someone pretends to want to discuss some obscure band they're involved with themselves, and are actually just trying to pass off self-promotion as discussion.

Alright, thank you very much!

is it allowed to copy articles from a site that reviews my band to be posted here? and if allowed, should I always use English, or should I translate it into English first?

Unfortunately we have to review new post submissions by new users, and that can sometimes take some time (as things run on a volunteer basis). Your post has been approved now!

Sometimes it can take a couple of days, unfortunately. If you're lucky it can be quite fast. Anyway, after two approved posts, you're free to post without the whole approval thing. It's because we have to deal with a lot of spambots nowadays, sadly.

If your post isn't going to be put up, i.e. it's rejected, there should usually be a rejection message for you that explains why it wasn't accepted.
