Wrong thread. But yeah, basically part of our cleaning up of non-metal exceptions: https://www.metal-archives.com/board/vi ... l#p2736534

Is the rule of "at least 20 minutes digital releases" actual now?
Please look here:
Malakhim
Necrologium
Physical releases aren't mentioned for these bands, digital releases are less than 20 minutes.

Why the band Grimner got to be accepted, based on what?
http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=3540306260
I contacted them ages ago about their debut Ep if it is physical or not aiming to submitt them, but here was the answer from one of their members:

Hi Yuri =),
Thank you very much for your kind words, it's good to hear.
Unfortunately, this particular EP is not available in physical format, for a number of reasons. Hopefully though, the next record will be available for purchase in CD format. We will begin the new recordings pretty soon, probably, so stay tuned. Thanks for your support. =)

Heathen hails,
Grimner

I checked their myspace likely if they announced anything new about their record, but still only digital.

So we must wait until their second release and maybe.

Coprobaptized Cunthunter (Russia) doesn't sound that close to Last Days of Humanity. It falls more in the Slam Metal style that happened to evolve out of Brutal Tech Death bands a few years back.

They're more similar to Extermination Dismemberment or Abominable Putridity which are of course on the site.

Are you responding to this post? That was seven years ago... Also, please learn how to use the quote feature.

Sar Isatum have been submitted minutes ago. Though the release date of their album is 17th of November, their bandcamp page still says it's pre-order at the moment (https://sarisatum.bandcamp.com/releases). Officially, I don't find the album on iTunes, or Spotify, or anywhere else to download. But there's streaming on Souncloud (https://soundcloud.com/sarisatum). Is it already legit enough to submit (i.e. the official streaming)?

He submitted right on the official release date (17 Nov.) but yeah, the album is still pre-order, doesn't available completely to be purchased yet.

Hi,

the release wasn't exclusive from Bandcamp, my band submission was made based on Amazon:

This is my band. It should be removed from this site because physical demo is only 12. I think it's not enough.
The user who added it probably have evidence that says demo CD was made 30 copies. But it's totally wrong. I made it by myself and it was only 12 copies. The guy who claims from the band and said that CD made 30 is a liar. He has been fired from the band.
Also we made only single demo. There is no other releases after that.

Defreasis' submission of this band is acceptable. It is a small number of copies, but it it a valid release.

I doubt this is an acceptable release. Seems like a myspace band, and you cannot find much info on the demo anywhere. There isn't even cover art.

Hard to say. Myspace and Purevolume are dead as far as a reliable source goes these days. But I found this on a dead blog:
http://metal-to-the-metals.blogspot.dk/ ... n-you.html

I'm thinking there was a demo that was metal enough, but it might be questionable whether it would have qualified as digital release, or if there was a cd version of it. Still, at this point I think there's enough to keep them here. Benefit of the doubt.

Deleted. EC added the release as a CD, but he did not include any evidence in the submission or moderator notes, nor did he ever share his sources. As a moderator at the time, his draft was auto-approved, since we assume a certain level of trustworthiness and transparency from staffers, among other things. EC has recently been let go due to a lack of those very attributes and thus this entry does not stand up to scrutiny. Regrettably, all of his band additions should be double-checked, really.

I'm not going to comment on the validity of the music, though it seems ok to me, i will say that i skimmed the first demo and i don't see anything wrong. It's well long enough and they quality is fine.

Just a couple days ago I got a reply in "why was band x blacklisted", telling me this was too low of quality to be submitted. Wouldn't really make sense (to me anyway) to allow a much rawer submission like Quis Ut Deus then. I'm not trying to argue this or anything, but I am definitely confused.
