what about this?

Nothing, we have wisely chosen to ignore you...

Okay.

I was just wondering about if accept a band which has contributed to a compilation with an original song and the compilation was released through a label world-wide .

No, various artists compilation is not a valid release.

Heya,

My friends are in a groove metal/metalcore band called Kill Chambers, one EP has been released in a physical format (unfortunately I don't have a copy on me) and they're signed to Rising Records, with which they're recording an album for release this year.

Proof of the album.

http://www.reverbnation.com/killchambers
Couple of songs to prove that they do play metal.

Is there anything else I need to provide for this band to be accepted?

I submit the band Hideous Miscreation.
Then, in the e-mail that the page send me says that there's no proof of existence.
They had an EP, but it seems that we can only download it and its not available as CD.
So that can be a proof because also, i put the official myspace on the links

Here is a link of the official facebook:

I submitted the band Amputee. They got rejected for lack of proof they exist.

They have a demo (which is available trough [email protected])

They are also releasing a 7 inch on RSR records later this month.

Here is their website:

Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/amputized/
Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/AMPUTEE/363800869054
Last.fm: http://www.last.fm/music/Amputee

They clearly exist and are definitely a metal band.

Here is a physical copy of the demo

Please reconsider.

The band does no have a physical release. Read the rules.

Resubmit.

Okay, now I know this is probably inviting disaster... but since Agoraphobic Nosebleed started as a side-project of Scott Hull (of Pig Destroyer), don't they fall under the side-projects rule since they're signed to a label with wordwide distribution?

They were fromed in 1994 while Pig Destroyer in 1997, so it cannot be a side project.

Was that another way to say: "we don't have objective arguments to back-up our rejection for this band"? I'm far from being an expert regarding metal music but at least I have a basic knowledge regarding what can be considered metal. I wasn't (and still) not familiar with that specific band (Merauder), the user presentend his arguments in a non-offensive manner so I checked that specific album (Master Killer) and for my surprise the user has a point here, that album is metal enough to guarantee the addition of the band to MA (based on the MA's rule: one metal album is enough for the addition of a band to MA). I don't have any idea about the other albums. I am NOT saying that my conclusion regarding the metalness of the album is right so a clear backed-up answer would be highly appreciated especially from someone considered more experienced (self-proclaimed the almighty metalheads please ignore this post). Personally I just want to know why this album is not metal I don't care about getting the band added to MA. I previously posted the link to download the full album (tracks get heavier progressively, give the whole album a listen).

You need proof of physical release - a photo. Read the first post in this thread.

the metalcore band No Eyes To cry results to be rejected

http://www.metalwave.it/viewscheda.php?id=76


is the same band? tell me please, so i don't try to submit them anymore

thanks ^^

Yes, the same band.

ok i will avoid to resubmit, tnx

Hi guys, trying to add Winds of Sorrow, atmospheric black metal, only one album here -
http://www.hypnoticdirgerecords.com/thr ... eviews.php
Any reason why it would not let me submit? Thanks.

Resubmit.

Thanks Witcher, will do.

Hi there!

I tried to add the band Elmi yesterday, but was rejected because of lack o'metal.

And I like to quietly object to that. There music can be heard here http://www.elmi.bandcamp.com They play Drone/stoner. And the 30min long song goes from drone to a stoner part at about 11min, and then over to an "almost" funeral doom part at 25min.

This just as metal as most of the other drone bands on here.

Thank you for your time

IUt has nothing in common with stoner metal, it is drone/ambient. It has no guitar, only bass which creates a "wall of sound". The song structure and songwriting have nothing to do with metal. Finally, the bands are judged individually.

Ok, I can live with that.

Though I would call the vocal-part from 15min quite stoner

Hello,

yesterday I want to add the band AtomWinter. This was rejected because I didn't add a discography.

Today I add the band again and also add the demo released in january this year. But the adding was rejected again. And I want to ask about the reason.

But on the otherhand, the drone part is built up by riffs, much like SunnO))), and there really aren't ambient parts. Seeing as you recognise Drone Doom as a legit genre, I don't see why Elmi is rejected? With bands like SunnO))), Earth and "5/5/2000" on the archives. Did you hear the song beyond 3min?

You need to provide a proof of physical release. Read the first post in this thread.

Yes, I heard it and its is the same wall of sound. Now kindly stop it.

I must actually side with the band Elmi here. I hope this is not out of place.

I eventually found my way to this thread and yes, I agree, the first part is very wall of sound. But the second part of the song as far as I feel definitely metal. Riffs, verse-singing and a sound that I agree seems to be influenced by stoner metal. Yes, there is no drums, but as already pointed out, other bands don't use drums and are still regarded as metal. Now for the last part of the album, there is featured growl and grim vocals.

And regarding the lack of guitar, there are several bands not featuring guitar that both are regarded as metal and which is featured here on metal encyclopedia. Now I know you judge band individually, I am just arguing the case. Of the top of my head, Om is one such example.

But you have probably made up your mind, and that is your privilege. But as already stated, drone metal is a legitimate genre. I don't mean to be rude here, just arguing the case.

To summarize:

The wall of sound part in the opening does end.

A more "metal like" sound structure with riffs and verse singing does eventually show up and is (at least for me) a large part of the song. Especially if you listen from 15 minutes, 15 seconds and onwards. If that is not metal, I don't know what it is.

If a bands has guitar or not does not seem to be a valid indicator if it should be regarded as metal, since there are several noted bands that use only bass guitars that still are regarded as metal. For that mater, bass guitars are still guitars, even if they do have thicker strings. Several metal bands tune their guitars ridiculously low, plug their guitars through oktavers and pitch-shifters to that extent, they could probably just have used bass guitars, but they are still regarded as metal.

Thank you for your fair judgment of the case whatever it may be.

Hey, I tried to submit De Arma (just released a split with Fen) the other day but it got rejected and I was wondering why.

is there a reason the black metal band Tadnees is preemptively rejected?

here is a bunch of proof for them...

http://funeralspirit.blogspot.com/2010/ ... -2010.html

The album is not physically released. Besides that, the band has stolen the band photo from another non-Arabian black metal band so what to think about them?

You need to provide proofs. Read the first post in this thread.

Hello, just a question of clarification. After the rejection of the band The Electric Demons I re-listened to the music and I am kind off convinced that the band is metal enough

Another thing I was thinking to submit this band http://www.myspace.com/relentlessdetroit dunno if it's heavy enough for the site?

It sounds like Nashville Pussy - The Electric Demon.

Um kind off yes, a little more heavy. Thanks.

Hey, i submitted the band Hierro from Colombia, which was the same Midgard (Col), i submitted the same information with pictures and everything, so how could it be rejected, if it is the same band but under another name?

You need to provide proof of physical release.
When the band does not have a release under the new name, which should be different from the release under the former name band, it cannot be accepted.

"Sorry Grimulfr, Encyclopaedia Metallum was forced to reject your submission for the band Syn Ze Şase Tri (Romania), for the following reason:

Biography: The band Syn Ze Şase Tri was formed in 2007 by Corb, inspired by the bloody history and myths of their motherland Transilvania. Focusing on the figure of the warrior, the band started to compose the first songs about their ancestors, the way of the Dacian warriors and their beliefs, their gods, their last days and their prayers. The band name itself - Syn Ze Şase Tri - means '' I'm with triple six '', but not in the satanic way; the meaning of 666 actually refering to the supreme number, a limit between the human world and the world of the gods, in ancient mithology. After two unfortunate record deals, the band got finally signed with italian cult-label code666 for the release of debut album '' Între două lumi '' ( Between two worlds ), composed in 2008 and then recorded in Negură Bunget's studio with Hupogrammos and Sol Faur (ex Negură Bunget, now in Dordeduh) as sound engineers. During 2009 Corb and Spin joined fellow-citizens Negura Bunget to replace leaving members Soul Faur and Hupogrammos, composing and recording the Groundbreaking album „Virstele Pamintului“. the following touring duties with Negura bunget stopped Syn Ze Sase Tri activities for a while, then in late summer 2010 Corb and Spin decided to concentrate on their own band, and now their debut album “Intre doua Lumii” is finally ready to be released.
