(about Tadnees)
May be, guitars are programmed partially, but some stuff is real. At the beginning of the third track is a fragment of a guitar without distortion - looks like the real thing. Also, sometimes i hear the creaking of the fingers on the strings, etc. Although i do not know, perhaps the modern guitar emulators so cool?
Also i found their clip. They're posing with guitars. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wpg6K0URhlE

ok, this is the proof of our new full length that i wanted to sumbit after the demo: http://notomorrow.jimdo.com/olocausto/ , and this is the proof of our split with kancoride: http://www.myspace.com/AvisOdiaOlocausto/blog/519233743 ,so why i have to say bullshits about our demo??
i'm new in this website, and i realy would like to have a page of my band...
greatings, and i hope you will understand

I agree with your reasons. We only have a self-edited demo and a myspace with 3 songs of the 5 of the demo.
This is our myspace: www.myspace.com/bringingthevoidponferrada
We played before in a band called Chamber of Sherd that is in the enciclopaedia.
When we have more proves of our existence I'll send you.

Thank you very much for all and excuses for my English

Hello!

today I tried to enter an Italian band called "Hell In The Club". It is a (side) projects by members of different metal bands who are listed in here.
Singer is Damnagoras of Elvenking and also two members of Secret Sphere (Andrea Buratto and Federico Pennazzato).
Label: Red Pony Records (Italian label)

<u>1. Releases:</u>
They released their first CD called "Let The Games Begin".
in Italy it is 10th January,
in France and Benelux at 11th January
the rest of Europe and Japan: 28th January
source: http://www.hellintheclub.com/
a part of the answer of the Archives had been "Not on a label with world distribution."
This is true, but: in Italy it is "Red Pony Records", in France and Benelux it is "Bad Reputation"; Europe + Japan is released by "Avenue of Allies".
source: http://www.hellintheclub.com/

<u>2. Metalness:</u>
<i>this is why I write here</i>

<u>3. Evidence:</u>
proof of evidence of the release:
http://www.hellintheclub.com/ (band's site)
also here is an example of a German online store with a link to the CD as a buyable product: http://www.amazon.de/Let-Games-Begin-He ... 774&sr=8-1
(sorry, I couldn't find it in English yet.)
If a photography is needed: I can hopefully give it at Sunday... I shall get a copy on Saturday...

<u>4. Side-projects:</u>
quote from the first post: <i>"A side-project is a band started in parallel to another band. The MA accepts some side-projects of metal band members, the metal band in question must be on MA. The side-project must be on a label with worldwide distribution. It means that the label must have professional distributors who will supply real-life shops with albums, in other words be a big enough label. It is not the same as worldwide shipping, method used by small online labels."</i>
- side-project: yes for Damnagoras, Andrea Buratto and Federico Pennazzato
- metal bands in question: Elvenking and Secret Sphere -> both are in the archives
- label with world-wise distribution: Ok, Red Pony Records is not world wide, <u>but</u> they alley with other labels to distribute it worldwide (see above at "1. Releases")


<u>Additional notes:</u>
Maybe Hell In The Club aren't as "heavy metal" as Iced Earth for example, but then: why are Hardcore Superstar in the Archives? They aren't really doing "heavy metal" either. They are Sleaze Rock. Rock and not Metal. In the MA it says Hardcore Superstar would even be "Glam Metal". Glam Metal is still a difference to Sleaze Rock and they are definetly more Sleaze than Glam. So even if Hell In The Club is maybe called Hard Rock it still has something to do with Metal...
Also when other (Sleaze) Rock bands are in it, why not Hell In The Club. I would call them a mixture of Metal with Hard Rock, Sleaze Rock and maybe only the tiniest little bit of Rock'&'Roll.
They even made the first place for the "Italian Glam Fest" which will take place at 6rd April. (And Glam means "Glam Metal" )

links to sites of Hell In The Club:
official site: http://www.hellintheclub.com/
site where you currently can listen to some samples: http://www.hellintheclub.com/webwheel/index.html
their MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/hellintheclub
their Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/hellintheclub

Side projects must be on a label with direct woprldwide distribution.
That is not a case here.
Whe a band is hard rock, then it is not allowed. Read the guidelines.
Hardcore Supestar are here because the recent releases are metal. Use your brain and read our guidelines., before you make any further nonsensical claims.
I would need to listen to the whole album to get the definitive idea.
Edit: I have listened to samples from the whole album and it is acceptable mixture of metal and hard rock, so resubmit.

Hello Witcher,
thank you verry, verry much that you allowed me to resubmit it!
I have done so just a few seconds ago...
But because I never have entered a CD-entry before have I writen the tracklist in the notes-section too. (Because I didn't know that there are gaps to fill them in in the following step.)
Feel free to delete the tracklist from the notes-section because of the normal tracklist.

Thank you very much!
Nyara

Hello there,
I added the band Aeklypsis from Greece and received the "no apparent discography" mail. The band has a demo which they distribute themselves through they myspace and facebook. Are there any other reasons for their rejection?
http://www.facebook.com/Aeklypsis?v=wall

Resubmit it.

can i resubmit my band please?? if you don't want i put only our split and our full length... i show you that they are physical releases!please let me know something!cheers

Conserning lack of information for the band Chaeronea from Greece,
in their interview they clearly state that they have put out two demos.
I submitted both the one with the cover. Do I need further proof?

http://www.subexistance.com/interviews/chaeronea

hey hello...today met-arch rejected me an italian thrash band called Reaktor.
It is very strange, i've given myspace e facebook links, and they have a reviewed demo (i did not post the review link, i found one on a very small webzine)
http://www.undergroundmetalitalia.com/i ... ew&iden=14
they say that it is in physical cd and not mp3's, altough in very limited number of copies.


Can i re-submit please? thanks ^^

Yes, resubmit.

How can I add information about the band, the request for adding of which to the library has been canceled? Should I use form "add a band" again?
Sorry for my english.

I want to put my band on here, but i dont see why it isnt metal enough or any of that..

Alright, so I got the proof of physical existence for the band I submitted twice and got rejected.

Below are the links for the two demos avaiable:

http://i55.tinypic.com/vyp2cn.jpg

http://i51.tinypic.com/ao713.jpg

The band is Begotten in Pain.

I will resubmit it now, with these two links on the side notes.

A demo from 2007 exists. Please give free.

did you read the first post? Does your band have a physical release out? Can you take a photography of it or point to a distro that carries it?

what band? Offer some links to the band and read the first post. You need to
- prove the metalness of the band
- prove the existence of a physical release (CD, tape etc.)
Please do so ...

- prove the metalness of the band
- prove the existence of a physical release (CD, tape etc.)
Please do so ...

you do not have better pictures? Those basically say nothing ... way to blurred to make something out. What about the music by the way? Do you have a link to a site on which the mods can listen to it?

This band is rather underground and doesn't want myspace and whatnots.

Is it that bad? If so, I'll ask for better picture, since I do not own the copies of the demo, yet. But I own the other demo of the band the main guy is envolved (and it's here on MA), which prove that's not a joke band or fantasy band, or whatever you call.

So far, these are the two pictures sent to me. You can even compare to the covers I added on the discography.

By the way, it's a demo CD-r. The covers are near the cd, as you can see. Also, there are more than one copy of each cover.

Please, consider it.

That is not the point. The mods need to decide whether the band is metal and this can only be done through some sort of link to the music; maybe the band can provide your with some MP3s, which you are allowed to share with the mods; they will not spread them ...

On the pictures:
you can hardly read anything on these, so they are rather pointless when it comes as an 'evidence' to support your submission. Even the logo is blurred and impossible to decipher; picture one.

Maybe a small underground distro carries the releases ... this would help, too.

Alright , I'll send you some MP3 to provide the metalness issue. There's a video with mp3 sound on youtube. Is that enough to prove the "metalness"?

As for the pictures issue, I'll talk to him and see if I can get better pictures.

1. Get better pictures
2. Upload the music to rapidshare or the similar sites.
3. Resubmit the band
4. Use the report function of your submission to post the link to the music and to the pictures.

You really didn't have to reject that band because I made the mistake of interpreting ON THEIR ON MYSPACE a message that says "OUT NOW ON SFC RECORDS"

( http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/5528/banneradmq.jpg )

But it's rather unnecessary to reject a band that already had an EP out for 11 months that I just didn't submit along the Full-Length that I mistakenly thought was out already.

Physical Proof

Both bands, Monumental Torment and Ancient Plague can be added again with those links.

Hello,

I have a complaint/clarification about the band Dimitri ( http://www.myspace.com/dimitribonani http://www.reverbnation.com/dimitrirock http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/dimitrirock ). The band got rejected earlier today for not being metal. I know this is not "the heaviest band in the world" still it's metal enough to be accepted in the archives. Listen to the music and don't judge the band based on information collected from the Internet. I would like to know why the band was considered not metal. It's some kind of melodic power metal, even if the band's links includes the word "rock" (I suppose the band can consider themselves whatever they want). I hope I will have a clear answer and not "the moderator is always right" attitude in answering.

Thanks.

I am no mod here but even I can't find anything Metal about Dimitri. The guitars (which ones? AAaahhh! Those far in the back) sound like they come out of the synth instead of them being mixed in sync with the synth. It is more rock like CDbaby says instead of anything remotely metal.
You could wait for a mod to tell you the same but you might find my answer the nicest one given to you.

What'll be next? Micheal Jackson in the Archives because of the guitars in Beat it and Dirty Diana?

For me it's hard rock. I rejected them.
2:1 for now.

What the hell is there to say? "It's not metal because it's rock". Seriously, it's just rock. The riffs, the rhythm, the vocals... all is rock-oriented. You can't expect any of us to go into deeper explanations.

i have tried to submit the band Crypt from Oregon in the United States. Says no info or discography. Although i have submitted info and all 3 demos. This band came before another band on here called Akem Manah (http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=3540310322). 2 of the founding members of Akem Manah were also the founding members of Crypt (one of Akem Manah's first songs off their first demo was an old Crypt song of the "Crypt" demo in 2003).

They have 3 cd-r demos, (although can only find the artwork for the 2006 demo "Hell Rising"). Info about the band can be found on the singers, Dead Nedry's myspace (http://www.myspace.com/deadnedrymusic), But Dead Nedry has not posted any music from the band in awhile.

My submission for Tano Romano was rejected for lack of information, or this band has no apparent discography. I uploaded a photo of his live CD when added it to discography. You can see it here: http://www.metalargentum.com/foro/viewt ... p?p=145090

Even when the official web site (which link also added: http://www.eltanoromano.com.ar/) does not metion the album, you can find it googling: Tano Romano 25 años en vivo.

Hey... I love moshing to those crunchy, technical Viking death metal riffs.

I have tried now to submit more than one band, and they all have been rejected because there is a "lack of information, or this band has no apparent discography." In particular, A Thousand Ashes, a local band that released their debut EP in July of last year. I am not sure what I am doing wrong, because there are copies of their music available in a physical format. Although I do not have a photograph at hand, their media can also be fond on iTunes. <http://itunes.apple.com/au/album/a-thousand-ashes/id412929850> If that is not legitimate, what do I have to do?

It's not legitimate because it doesn't show evidence of a physical release. You'll need to acquire a photograph, or link to a distro selling the EP as a CD or tape. Simply linking to the iTunes store doesn't show anything other than that the release is available as a digital download.
