Do you intend to submit?

Band mentions a CD on their facebook.

Devil Drowned got added and can be removed.

Yes, I asked them about the demo and all I got back was a "no...sorry man". They haven't responded to my next message but they have read it.

Thanks for confirming about the Euthanasia release. Feel free to submit.

Most of their stuff, including the Apeman EP are considered not metal enough. The Copenhagen demo is certainly thrash metal, but needs proof of valid release. It's included on a compilation, or at least one track from it, but most of that compilation is considered not metal enough or is already on the site under the moniker Red Dynamite.

Here's an appeal thread for Tornado:
viewtopic.php?f=27&t=140036

Pandora's Wake: Borderline experimental metalcore. Will probably submit.
https://pandoraswake.bandcamp.com/album/lost-pre-prod

Pandore: No indication they recorded anything on facebook. Band is split up.
https://www.facebook.com/PandoreMusique

Peace For Kings: One single on bandcamp that sounds borderline. Teased an EP but broke up before they could release anything, so no VR.
https://peaceforkingsband.bandcamp.com/ ... elusionnal

Peace Out: No link provided leads me to believe this was short lived and put nothing out.

Please Wake Up: Streaming only on bandcamp and dead facebook. Borderline metalcore anyway with no VR.
https://pleasewakeup.bandcamp.com/track/structure-demo

Pole Position: Crossover that sounds fine. Will submit.
https://poleposition.bandcamp.com/album ... y-hairy-ep

Prohibition: Metalcore with a single on youtube. Teased an EP titled 'Achievements'. Had a bandcamp but it's gone now. Can't even message the facebook.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDZ70NfNE_A
https://www.facebook.com/profile/100027 ... arch/?q=ep

Project Versus: Few tracks on reverb but no VR from the looks of it. Will message for clarification.
https://www.facebook.com/projectversus
https://www.reverbnation.com/projectversus

Projet RL: First album sounds like it could be acceptable sludge/doom metal. Will submit.
https://projetrl.bandcamp.com/album/sto ... ravel-2013

Propane: Stoner Metal/Rock. Some tracks on bandcamp that i think are considered a singular ep? Messaging for clarification.
https://propaneqc.bandcamp.com/track/back-to-basic

Psychotic Delusion: Two borderline singles. Not so sure about this one.
https://psychoticdelusion.bandcamp.com/ ... m-a-coward

Pull the Trigger: Some live tracks on youtube. Facebook is dead.
https://www.quebecpunkscene.net/pullthetrigger/
Has the member Zaé St-Laurent: https://www.metal-archives.com/artists/ ... ent/560481

Camalus: Confirmed no VR.

Peace for Kings: Confirmed no VR.

Looks like it's in drafts already, so someone started the submission?

Yeah, I don't want to start a "trve metal" discussion, but this case is a bit baffling to me in all honesty... I wouldn't even call it borderline, to my ear it's almost textbook metal. If it's not, then it should be removed from the list for good, because there is not much else to research.

Their only other release is stream-only online: https://soundcloud.com/tornadominsk/set ... ingle-2000
Again, to my ear it's mostly metal, just like Apeman.

Did he mention he didn't speak english? That's the response I got back so it might just be a miscommunication.

Okay, that would make more sense. I legit only got "no...sorry man" in reply. I don't speak French, so I can't be of help there.

I think the band is safe to submit. We have two definitely metal tracks and they posted about selling their demo at their show in the link i posted above.

As I've said before, I'm rather busy nowadays with my job and other projects. Plus the band queue is a constant, badly managed worry, so I'm not always able or willing to check this thread for updates (especially at the pace it's currently going). Don't worry if the list appears stagnant for a couple of days. Anyway, should be updated now, let me know if anything is wrong or missing.

Keep up the good work, guys. It's insane how by now hundreds of additions are the direct result of this thread.

GodOfMalice, would you like to submit Euthanasia (Michigan), since you found the final piece of information needed, or should I add it to the 'bands that can be submitted' thread? Thanks.

I can submit it, I was just waiting until I had less than 15 pending submissions.

Sounds good, thanks!

Needs research. - Doomsayer

Thanks to this thread, I've gotten up to 100 band submissions! Thanks Azmodes for that spreadsheet! I probably would not have ever bothered with this thread if it weren't for that.

"The band Decapitator broke up in 1993 after recording an album in 1992, metal stopped bringing joy, the band broke up and everyone moved away, the drummer - founder of the band died in America, all the other members of the band are alive and leading a rock and roll existence"

YouTube video uploaded by someone very knowledgeable in underground Norwegian metal explains how they formed as Darkness in Winter 1985 and did a demo in 1986:

That's awesome! I agree, the spreadsheet has been working really well. Much more presentable and organized.

Reason Prevails: Sounds like borderline, but could be acceptable progressive metalcore. Will submit.
https://reasonprevails.bandcamp.com/album/still-seeking

Rectuum: Bunch of tracks for download on reverb.
https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100068938058457

Red Skies: Latter album sounds like borderline prog metalcore on the unacceptable side. First album sounds more passable. Will submit.
https://redskies.bandcamp.com/album/identitas-20

Redeemed: Dead facebook and a reverbnation with nothing on it. Probably live only based on the photo.
https://www.reverbnation.com/redeemed

Reliquus: Found a myspace page with some tracks.

Resurrection Corpse: Metal. I found a listing for a CD on ebay. Will submit.

Reverse of Light: Nothing on most music streaming/download sites (apple, reverb, soundcloud, bandcamp) and dead facebook. Probably another shortlived. live only band.

Rise of Elis: Two singles with the same artwork. No VR. Band is split up.
https://riseofelis.bandcamp.com/track/a ... of-clarity

Rising Random: Dead facebook and a search on music sites doesn't turn up much.

Rosewood: Unacceptable deathcore on the hardcore side to me.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9J2vy8oeuw

Ruthless Sacrifice: Teased an EP but lineup problems put a stop to that seemingly. Borderline slam/deathcore with one single.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvW_xPjKYXI

Rise Of Elis: Confirmed no VR.

They have an EP but only on SoundCloud and not downloadable.

I sent them a message and They don't have any physical VR but they are working on the songs for a full CD. Should put a note to check back on them.

Avé Imperator: Released a demo disk at shows.
https://www.facebook.com/profile/100063 ... earch?q=cd

I should have the vinyl within the next month. Coming from Netherlands to Canada.

Diving Station has an entire album on soundcloud. Some videos uploaded by the drummer indicate it was released physically on cassette. I think it's enough to submit.
https://soundcloud.com/user-776591943
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmM0eKh4WfY

I found the band's Facebook page.

They posted about some of their albums available for download (I found two active links):
https://ibb.co/QKctK8H

https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=92 ... 5074589623
https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=87 ... 5074589623

It seems the band has okayed these downloads as being official as they are posting about them on their Facebook page.

If this is alright? I can submit them (I have submitted the band).

Twist of Fate (California, US) were added to the site today, and can be removed. Thanks.

Acariasis can be removed. It was deemed more hardcore than metal, rendering all the discussion on VR moot. L’assguard was added so it can be removed too.

Reminder that there is still a huge list of entries that need to be looked up on Discogs (2360 as of this writing): https://azmodeszer.github.io/mabandrese ... scogs.html If anyone finds anything, please post here and I can scratch them off that particular list.

The fact is that one Red Dynamite album, "Invasion" has been recently re-released on CD under their original band name Tornado.... this is a typical case of "how can we fix it properly?"
