I was about to submit Skies Beneath but noticed that both EPs use the same artwork on bandcamp. I know for singles this is a no go, but how about for full EPs?

EPs should be fine.

Just saying, I haven't forgotten about this thread. Just a little busy these days with real life. The list should get updated eventually.

Needs research. - Rare Breed / Rarebreed
Location: New Jersey, US
Genre: Hard Rock/Heavy Metal
https://www.discogs.com/release/6358714 ... Rare-Breed
- band members and 1987 vinyl release here: https://www.discogs.com/release/6358714 ... Rare-Breed
According to a Discogs review, more commercial-sounding than the California band by this name (on the site).
Myra was also in The Swingers (1984), and had a solo project in the late '70s:

Take The Throne: Their second EP is more borderline metalcore than the first (which is already borderline), but might make the cut. Will submit.
https://music.apple.com/us/artist/take- ... /669493736

Terrorfist: EP available for download on soundcloud. Death/Thrash Metal. Will submit.
https://soundcloud.com/brian-weston-5

Testifier: Oh, boy. Firstly, I'm not convinced this overwhelmingly metal. It's a combination of southern metal, metalcore, hardcore. Second, they have plenty of singles on bandcamp, but some share artwork and some don't. I'm not saying this isn't metal for sure, but someone else should probably take a look at it. Not sure if these singles are VR.
https://testifier.bandcamp.com/music

That Boy Aint Right: Another case where one EP is way more metal than the other. Neato Melodic Technical Metalcore. Will submit.

The 49th Parallel: Unacceptable chuggy djent/metalcore. Not bad, not metal.

The After Chapter: Metal sometimes, chuggy djent most others. No VR as far as I can tell.
https://www.youtube.com/@TheAfterChapter/videos

The Divine Rights of Kings: Southern Hardcore, not metal.
https://thedivinerightofkings.bandcamp. ... regression

The Empirical Method: Listed as just djent, but has more riffs than expected. Still not super convinced.
https://theempiricalmethod.bandcamp.com/album/theories

The Equinox: Listed as just "metal". Had an EP entitled 'Metamorphosis', but it's been pruned. Can't find much else, but best to keep it on the list.

The Fallacy: More core than metal.

Needs research. - White Knight

(both are allegedly from the same band. Haven't verified it for certain. One 7" recorded in Knox, Pennsylvania per label, and another source says they were from Knoxville, Pennsylvania. Business card with members listed (Dave - guitars, Rick - bass, Gil - vocals, Glen - drums) has a California phone number, and "Are You Ready to Rock" 7", also from 1985 was recorded in California. Not to be confused with the Michigan band by this name that are also on the research list.

The Legion of Liquor: This is great. Mix of power metal and hard rock. Will submit.
https://thelegionofliquor.bandcamp.com/ ... -of-liquor

The New Arcadia: More neat music. Unfortunately, they teased an album, put out some singles and... no album as far as I can find. Will send facebook a message but it probably won't turn up much.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1mI2Jswdh4&t=144s

The Thirteenth Floor: Unacceptable deathcore.
https://thrtnth.bandcamp.com/album/the-departed

The Tide Will Take Us: Borderline prog deathcore. Definitely metal at times, and chugs at times. Need to sit on this one.
https://thetidewilltakeus.bandcamp.com/ ... t-e-p-2015

The Walls of this Chamber: Only ever put out one single, which sounds metal. Apparently it's from an EP, but I see no mention of it on facebook.
https://thewallsofthischamber.bandcamp. ... -crossfire

The Wedding Party: Not so much prog metal, as it is djenty metalcore. more core than metal.
https://theweddingparty.bandcamp.com/album/brothers

Those Kids Could Be Killers: Sounds like acceptable deathcore, but the only tracks are on reverbnation, with most available for download. Dead facebook and dead youtube.
https://www.reverbnation.com/thosekidscouldbekillers

Thrashadactyl: Looks like the tracks were once on applemusic, but since delisted. Thrash is also a bit misleading, much more rocky and core than expected, but could probably be accepted.
https://www.reverbnation.com/thrashadactyl

TomaHawkPunch: Lots of this band's pages got scrubbed. Sounds metal but no VR in sight.

Transcend the Skies: Ambient/Hardcore.

As these websited are for chinese registered account only - you need a Wechat account to login and download them for payment - are they a valid source to submit them?

The person that added it to Discogs, Tommy Southard of the band Solace, has also been helpful before in uploading a tape to YouTube on his channel ( https://www.youtube.com/@devildick1 ) that he'd listed on Discogs.)

Not metal - Foreign Legion


Glam/hard rock - Isaiah

- All added to the post above.

Same as the Christian band. - Seraph

I think that Seraph is probably a duplicate of this Seraph that features John Cooper from Skillet on vocals. There is some song title overlap between the album you posted and this one. Also, the name Seraph is written in the same font on the spine of the cassette you posted and the lower left corner of this one.

Alright, regarding Thrashadactyl, it looks like their music was once on Apple Music but delisted. This can be verified by glancing at their facebook and youtube pages. They also released a CD entitled 'Fiery Wrath', from which some tracks can be found on YouTube and their soundcloud. Not sure if this is enough for submission, but putting it here regardless.

Isaiah is probably also fine to remove - "aimed for a glam/hard rock style" assessed by someone who describes some things as metal that we consider to be rock seems to make the search for their couple of songs not a worthwhile use of time.

Has anyone checked out the Foreign Legion downloads a few posts above?

Chain (Michigan) can be read about at the links below - maybe a determination can be made on if they're worth keeping around? (Only the first 2 links are in English. Without reading it all, looks like more of a rock band.) -

Some points out of these links:
- Influenced by Kiss, AC/DC, Aerosmith and Saxon, one song described as "ZZ Top meets Aerosmith, but heavier". (https://imgur.com/a/47K6WH9)(https://imgur.com/a/PvT3pQa)
- Guitar sound influenced by old ZZ Top (https://imgur.com/a/AReQ9Vc)
- Influenced by ZZ Top, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, AC/DC, The Who, Kiss, Ted Nugent and others in same vein (https://imgur.com/a/V4pBtCe)
- The musicians grew up with groups like AC/DC, Kiss or Aerosmith which are the three main influence they cite. As I said above, it's pure (and hard) hard rock. (https://imgur.com/a/z054Qa7)

Based on these they seem to be hard rock, so they can be removed.

Sikk (Hungary) can be removed - audio found: https://www.youtube.com/@rockesmetalmuz ... query=sikk

Foreign Legion (US) can be removed - listened the demo and it's hard rock.

I've generally found them reasonable, but not infallible. There's the odd mistake. I did notice later though the submitter posted a full set of photos, not just the cover:

https://vk.gy/images/92393-photo.jpg
https://vk.gy/images/116222-j-c.png
https://vk.gy/images/92394-photo.jpg
https://vk.gy/images/116223-insert-scan.png

So the release seems real enough. Only problem is the three songs listed on the insert aren't the same ones as the two on YouTube (off the later compilation), so can't confirm the content is metal. Cover and title (something like 'Cult Worship') seem promising though.

Until the Lights Go: Full band name is 'Until the Lights Go Out'. Very borderline Metalcore/Alt Rock. Probably unacceptable. I kinda dig it though. If someone wants to chime in with a second opinion, I'd appreciate it.

And that's it for the Ondes Chocs list! I know I covered every band from this list, but keep in mind not every band was conclusive. Some had no indications of VR, some had dead links, some I thought weren't metal enough to bother looking deeper. If someone wants to do a deeper look at the remaining bands, please go ahead. But like i said, I think a majority of those left are just bands with no VR.

Oh forgot to say. Next up for me will to scrub through the Ondes Chocs (Quebecois) list!

Some quick updates on bands still on the research list.

Bird Death: Technical grindcore that doesn't sound metal.

From Another Time: Got added, can be removed.

Infected Remains: More tracks on bandcamp, but all have the same art.

Providence NS: Borderline groovy prog metalcore. Might submit.

Signifier: Maybe just an oversight that this is still on the list, but there's a bandcamp and it doesn't sound metal.

Awesome! Really appreciate your work. For once, the list is shrinking instead of growing.

Regarding World Class White Thrash: it’s a misspelling of world class white trash, which is already on MA.
