thanks for your reply I could have sworn they used to be, but maybe it was in a dream...

sorry to ruffle your feathers, Witcher, but there isn't a "was that band ever on the archives" thread

I've rejected it and blacklisted them, as they were indeed evaluated by MR and myself back in November.

thanks a llot, that's what I was asking for.

Aryan Rebels (Germany):
I suppose, that the band was accepted based on the 2013 albumDer Sieg des Gewissens, so let's look at it. The first song after the intro is rreally predominantly metal, also the second song has hearable metal influences. But laready the third song is more hardcore punk/rac based than metal and the following songs drift totally into the oi!/rac/ballad territory with the eexception of song "Der Mann", which is again in style of the first two songs. That makes three metal based songs out of 11, not counting the intro, which is not really a convincingly metal based album:

http://88nsm.com/7192-aryan-rebels-sieg ... -2013.html

Deleted Vogelfrey (Germany) and Morgenstern (Germany) as a result of the ongoing "Medieval Metal" purge. Both are Folk Rock/NDH.

Deleted Dreadful Shadows (Germany) for being Goth Rock with some minor metal aspects.

Removed Celestial Meisters (Germany), predominantly post-hardcore.

Witcher, I'll take care of Blitzkrieg / CoV / Swamps during the next few days.

[EDIT]
Nuked Code of Violence : metallic Hardcore. (thanks for sending me the songs, Muhammadabbadabba )
Nuked Aryan Rebels : it's almost 50/50 RAC vs. Metal, therefore it's not a predominantly metal. (KJ and myself)

Thank you, that's very nice of you. Good night.

Removed Alternative 4 (UK), melancholic rock with a bit of doom metal on the debut album.

Removed Провокация (Provokatsiya), Russia. Folk rock/punk.

I have noticed, that first band from my list, Code Of Violence, has already been deleted. Big thanks for that.
Two more bands:

Retribution (Slovakia):

-----------

Hammer Of Hate (Poland):
To call their style groove metal is a big stretch imo, their music is predominantly rac based with only some minor metal influences:

Removed Ira (Portugal), predominantly hard rock.

Jarovit (Russia, Volgograd): There are just about three minutes of actual black metal riffing on the entire album. The rest of the music is just symphonic electro-folk over programmed drums with some occasional background noises: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfISXEZWv18



Vandal (Russia): Their early material wwas pure oi!/rac, the later material was a mixture of rac and hardcore, not thrash metal: http://88nsm.com/393-britogolovye-idut- ... kciya.html

http://88nsm.com/7839-southule-warrior-uprise-1994.html

Removed Яровит / Jarovit (Russia), predominantly ambient folk.

Thanks KJ, there is one more problematic band from the Armor Get Dawn circle:Sieg- predominantly ambient/folk, if there are electric guitars, then only as noises in the background, so overall the same charasteristics as Jarovit:

I don't know if this is the correct board, but the official bandcamp page for Lord Gore that was listed on this site has been deleted


http://lordgore1.bandcamp.com/

https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Lord_Gore/1044

Their new one is: https://lordgore.bandcamp.com

I'll admit I have difficulty assessing Metalcore because I have only familiarized myself with the scene from the '90s after ignoring the wretched SOTS clones from the 2000s, but I am mighty curious as to how Protestant by Rorschach is more acceptably Metal than anything by their contemporaries from the same era, namely Earth Crisis, Conviction, (early) Integrity, et cetera. What compositional aspects do that album feature the others collectively lacked? Some '90s Metalcore bands are quite obviously Metal even without the core elements, namely Merauder who borrow from Slayer and Pantera as they do New York Hardcore or Overcast who sound very thrashy, but Rorschach is eluding me.

I have updated the Lord Gore page for you, but next time, pleaseuse the report function, which is on every band's page. This thread is only to get rid of non-metal bands, which were accepted by mistake, not for requesting updates on the database pages.

Blood Order Company (USA): the band does not play hea¨vy/thrash metal, but hardcore based metalcore: http://88nsm.com/3470-blood-order-compa ... -2008.html
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYYEnZ8VQaA

Was wondering if anyone had more info concerning this band:
https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Drawline/41591 ?
If you do, please share. I believe this was a rock band and have doubts about the existence of their demo.

____
Drawline, Semper Fidelis

Removed Sieg (Russia), ambient/folk, not metal at all.

Removed Чертог Волка (Chertog Volka), Russia. Folk with BM guitar wandering/noise, no proper riffing.

Their former vocalist Christoph Remplewski is still active in the Duisburg music scen, he is currently a vocalist of the band Paperstreet .empire. I am pretty sure, that this is the same guy as in Drawline. You can try to cantact him though the Parerstreet -empire official page: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCNSIR7Qgag

Will send an email tomorrow morning. Thank you, Witcher.

Edit: Email sent.

Kolovrat (Russia) - their new stuff since 2004 is actually not thrash metal, but hatecore (NS hardcore).

Should King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard really be accepted based on their new thrashy album? Tracks like "Hell" may show metal influence, yes, but the other tracks don't:

https://kinggizzard.bandcamp.com/track/self-immolate-2
(Five Finger Death Punch style chord-based chugging and weird guitar noises)

https://kinggizzard.bandcamp.com/track/venusian-1-2
(hardcore-like with noodling)

https://kinggizzard.bandcamp.com/track/superbug-2
(sounds like doom with one occasional repeated metal riff, but not note-y enough all the way through to be metal)

https://kinggizzard.bandcamp.com/track/ ... the-rich-2
(hard rock)

I don't know what you think, but I don't think this is a full album of metal.

I listened to the album several times and it was clearly a mix of retro/doom stuff and thrash/speed metal. There is some rock, but overall not even borderline (as I was initially expecting).

X - Creta : This is pure old school hardcore punk, not thrash metal/crossover. There are no thrash riffs on the album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYEspDP4S9U
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQ_z3TjQQMA

Well, since another month is nearing its completion, I would like to make a small appeal. The "Rejected Bands" thread is working very well, the band is not pilling up and many thanks for establishing it again. But this thread seems to be in a rather lethargic mode, so I would like to stress out, tht it would be really nice, if someone started slowly reviewing the bands that t I (and some other users) posted above in the last months. I know, that I have posted around ten bands and some of them have multiple albums in their discography, but bands like Southule have only two short demos, so they could be for istance handled first. There are also some legitimate requests on the previous page (Heavy Bones for example), which are also waiting for a review and which would be useless to repost over and over. So to put it simply some biggeractivity of the staff in this thread would be very beneficial and it would be also nice to see the bands handled before the end of 2019.

We will get around to it when we feel like it.

Deleted Kalt || Weiss, seems the band accidentally released the album several hours ago (with full download, not pre-order), later the release date was set to September 20.

Removed Маркиза (Markiza), Russia - hard rock.

Hello folks, I saw about "plagiarism" I never payed attention to this.. And well, I got to put an Argentinian old school thrash metal - Horcas: https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Horcas/2805

Bunch of plagios, everytime... Here the proofs: All the channel dedicated to show their plagiarism:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC72uYZ ... 0hxY_9Zajw

Every song & album are specified in the videos.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efkzGw7jHZ0

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXPjCJc0uj8

What should we do with this band lads?

And why were they accepted..?

You must not be very familiar with thrash as a whole. Being extremely influenced by bands =/= plagiarism. Plagiarism would be them stealing the riffs 1 for 1, which is obviously not the case here at all. Horcas is obviously acceptable (and they're good for 90s thrash).

Excuse me Storm, but that's a fallacy, sure I am, being extremely influenced is one thing, STEALING riffs and using them to create a "new song" is a completely different thing... They are exactly the same, I guess we'll have to deal with the same thing that bunch of people said about Horcas "Not plagio, they do tribute songs" Abaxial is obviously influenced by Metallica, Hermética also was influenced for the first wave thrash and speed metal.. Did they stole riffs? Nope..

Horcas isn't going anywhere. End of story.

*sigh*

Fine then...

Deleted.
