Half Hour Till Dawn: Dead link and I can't find much else.

Harry's Code: Borderline metalcore. Starts out unacceptable with the first track but then gets more riffy. Might submit.
https://harryscode.bandcamp.com/album/s ... nd-ladders

Hell’s Angles: Had a bandcamp but it's since been pruned alongside the facebook. It had members of 'The Great Sabatini' involved so maybe someone could reach out to the band or members for info.

Hollow Chapter: Sounds more alt rock than metal.
https://music.apple.com/us/artist/hollo ... /551751491

Hour of Defiance: Sounds like metalcore that could be acceptable. Will submit.
https://hourofdefianceqc.bandcamp.com/music

https://www.youtube.com/@Mikealacon

Hunt the Shark: sounds more alt/rock and core than metal.
https://huntthesharkmusic.bandcamp.com/album/ill-omens

Regarding Hell's Angles: They renamed to just Angles and have a new bandcamp and facebook. This was confirmed from members of The Great Sabatini. Sounds a bit too hardcore.

Any word on this?

I Fucked a Wolf: Great name, not metal.
https://ifuckedawolf.bandcamp.com/album/farewell

https://heretiquemusique.bandcamp.com/album/s-t-demo

Impure Insight: Bunch of dead youtube links on facebook. Will message for more info.
https://www.facebook.com/impureinsight/

In Pieces: Sounds like chuggy deathcore only on youtube. No apparent VR.
https://www.youtube.com/@InPiecesOfficial

Insurgent Inc: Electro/Industrial rock with guitars every now and then. Not metal.
https://insurgent.bandcamp.com/album/a- ... ittle-shed

Isphérik: Lasted three years and seems to have only put out one, non-metal track.
https://www.reverbnation.com/isph%C3%A9rik

In Pieces: Confirmed no VR. Not sure it would make a difference with the borderline nature of the music.

Yes, I was having some issues with ripping the CD. Got that issue resolved. I will submit the band within the next day.

Human Nuggets: CD was released and seems to have a majority of the songs on the youtube channel. I think it's enough to submit, which I'll do.

Brad, the guitarist of Necromatory got back to me and said no completed versions were ever released. There might be some promo demos like the how the YouTube videos sound out there. But he is not even sure about those.

Devital - Osaka, Japan - Brutal Death Metal

Looks like a digital only single track hoping there was maybe a CDr release for it. The logo is fantastic.

https://www.discogs.com/artist/7301320-Devital

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1HSYR ... P_pGVKMdEg

There's a CD cover pic and review of the same demo (one track only) here if that helps:

Can't vouch for the accuracy of the site or anything, but it does seem to exist.

Alkaptonuria: Confirmed to have no VR.
https://imgur.com/a/kR9SjDi

Got a lot of info from Close2Hell, which I'll include in my submission. Gist is that they released a CD and have a VR. Will submit.

Jack's Slaughtering: They put out a demo but i cannot find it. They make several mentions of it on their facebook.

Jane & Mary: More rock and core than metal. All the singles have the same art anyway.
https://janeandmarymusic.bandcamp.com/track/out-for-you

Jarta: One track on bandcamp, and another on youtube. No VR and band is done for.
https://jarta.bandcamp.com/track/we
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXmYw1i3OI4

Join The Conspiracy: One single on bandcamp. I think this band reformed under a different name and nuked their old facebook.
https://jointheconspiracy.bandcamp.com/track/untainted

Jupiter's Red Eye: Borderline deathcore, but might be alright.
https://jupitersredeye.bandcamp.com/alb ... lf-on-fire

Justified: Sounds fine. Will submit.

Impure Insight can probably be removed with certainty. Sounds more core than metal from some songs on youtube.
https://www.youtube.com/@nickcook9089

Jingleheimer: Two singles on apple music and it sounds like borderline slam/core.
https://music.apple.com/us/artist/jingl ... 1688510848

Speaking of, that was from the wisconsin list, but there was no note on the list. Were the wisconsin bands pruned?

Absolute legend

Digested - Slam/Brutal Death
USA band featuring Mark Rawls (Guttural Secrete, Kretan) or at least sounds exactly like him

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

https://sonichits.com/video/digested/En ... n_Entrails

No. I've added a note for those entries now.

Thank you, that's a huge help!

Impure Insight: Demo on youtube and confirmed to be released physically. Question is, is it acceptable? Eh, I'd say no, it chugs a lot.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fqDHj_t-Do

Going to detour from the Canada list for today. I have several bands I need to submit, and I think now's a good chance to look through wisconsin.

Alien Hand Syndrome: Metal, but only streaming on soundcloud. Will message to see if they have VR.
https://soundcloud.com/carl-campbell-469728285/tracks

Ave Imperator: Walks the line between doom metal, alt rock and hardcore pretty tightly. Not sure if it's really metal or has a valid VR.
https://music.apple.com/us/artist/av%C3 ... 1530847619
https://www.facebook.com/AveImperatorUS

Baalzebub: Dead facebook.

https://www.reverbnation.com/dividedhumanity
https://www.facebook.com/DividedHumanity

Growing: Metalcore/Deathcore that leans into the core and alt rock stuff.
https://music.apple.com/us/album/temples-ep/956690524
https://music.apple.com/us/album/the-ga ... 1367298186

Hostile Masquerade: Looks like the tracked for some singles then went quiet. Sent a message.
https://www.facebook.com/hostilemasquerade

I Manifest: Borderline metalcore/djent. When it riffs it riffs, but when it djents it's really unacceptable. I'm leaning towards no.
https://imanifest.bandcamp.com/

In The Hour: Sounds more like metalcore than melodeath. A majority of tracks can be bought on reverbnation, though no idea if this would count as VR.
https://www.reverbnation.com/inthehour/songs

Langsamlourd: Stoner metal. Will submit.
https://langsamlourd.bandcamp.com/album/basement-demos

Mended: Sounds like borderline crossover/sludge. 'Product of intent' sounds pretty unacceptable, but maybe 'Loathe' is good enough.
*edit* nevermind this is hardcore.
https://mendedwi.bandcamp.com/album/loathe

Midnight Gravediggers: Sounds more punk than metal.
https://midnightgravediggers.bandcamp.c ... avediggers

Necrolyptic: Looks live only. Will message.

The Central: Experimental grindcore, not metal.
https://thecentral.bandcamp.com/album/t ... erous-road

https://www.facebook.com/ThrasherMilwaukee/

Under Aegis: More core than metal.
https://underaegis.bandcamp.com/

Until Its Over: Sounds like unacceptable deathcore based off this track.
https://soundcloud.com/user-473530066/u ... ths-within

Vex-Hate: looks to be working on material.
https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100032084576380

Wait Here: Extremely borderline deathcore/metalcore.
https://waithereband.bandcamp.com/album ... reflection

Warden: Not metal.
https://soundcloud.com/wearewarden

Wizardhammer: Sounds metal based off one compilation track. Will ask if there's a VR.
https://forestvisionspromotions.bandcam ... nubar=true

Hostile Masquerade: No VR.

Indian band Inferni Exercitus has most of its releases on bandcamp and sound very bedroom/poor quality. One album 'SHAMASH' is better, but sounds inconsistent. Would this album be enough for submission or is it too low quality?
https://inferniexercitus.bandcamp.com/album/shamash

Vítimas de Cronos: not metal.
https://soundcloud.com/vitimas-de-cronos-banda

Shifty Side: alt rock, confirmed the same band on the rock soldiers comp.
https://soundcloud.com/rift-rock
https://www.facebook.com/BandaRifft/

Id E.N: Alt rock.
https://soundcloud.com/iden-music

Indian band forsaken apparently released their albums for free download. Not sure how credible this source is, but is it enough to submit given this info?
https://www.metalindiamagazine.com/news ... e-for-free

Witch Hammer: Appeared on a comp album and sounds like nu metal/rap metal.
https://soundcloud.com/samplesounds-1/s ... ndian-rock

I suppose this is a good jumping board for when I'm finished with the Canadian bands, I'll dive into the Indian ones.

Black Moon: I've sampled 4 tracks and they all sound like rock.
https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id ... &sk=videos
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BP2zhNy3x-E

Savage Soul: Already listed.
https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Sa ... 3540515810

I think Purple Haze can be removed. I have a photo of one demo with 2 songs ("Stranger Callin'" and "Rock Till You Drop", with just hand written titles and line up) and I don't think there's something related with metal in all the few songs available on internet. Unfortunately I can't upload the image as I can't use imgur, flickr or websited like them

Yes to both.

Thanks, I’ll submit both later.

Looks like Forsaken is already on the site.
https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Fo ... 3540530204

oh lol, I must've forgot to remove them.

Close 2 Hell has been added and can be removed from the list.
