Deleted DevilDiscos, also submitted by Sodomatic_Slaughter. That's a Brazilian record label and store, it's very unlikely that there was a also band with that name. And he didn't answer my email.

That EP was released on tape back in '06 not limited to any x number. It will be re-released on CD soon.

But while we are on that subject...

Thanks for the info. Svartidaudi can be resubmitted.

I have deleted Senslis Killin and Brain Police - hardcore.

Should this band be deleted? Its release was deleted. It was added because it had one track on a Desolation release..
http://desolationproduction.narod.ru/Cover/DP1909.html

When I submitted it, I had asked the label and made sure it wasn't a cover.

Edit: It looks like the bands in question aren't friends anymore from inspection of their myspace. Does anyone know why this release was deleted?

Yes there has been a real CD out, we just choose not to work for anyone but us so we release them ourselves. Music does not have to be about markets, so we make sure our music is available to anyone that might be interested.

The deletion of the archive record of our project is irrational, please revert.

And yes we are active.

Those links are useless friend!
It doesn't prove that you have a CD out!

Indeed. To try to argue about rejection while you do not know our rules about physical releases is really irrational.
If your band is active or not does not matter at all - another proof that you are not familiar with our submission guidelines.

So the problem is in the rules, we choose to skip the market, why does that affect the music as itself? The way I see it we have worldwide distribution, our demo has been downloaded over 500 times throught torrents and our site (not counting various rapidshare links etc) and all is provided for anyone that wants to print out his own CD - something that we do encourage. I really believe there should be an exception, we are not in the 80s. Metal archives should be an encyclopedia listing all that has been in metal music, an encyclopedia has to state the facts not work for labels, or any corporation, neither write its own version of history including only the "likes".

Please reconsider this is really insane.

PS: I cannot emphasize this enough. there has been a decent physical release, i still have copies left.

The situation is clear, a band without physical release cannot be accepted. I have told you to read the guidelines. Can you finally do it?

The guidelines are the same for everybody, so stop arguing.

If you claim to have a physical release, then either link to distro that carries it, or provide a convincing photo of the release.

That is fair, I will get to it later.

The reason I argue is because the record had been there for 3 years and now it's deleted, and because I strongly believe that our focus must be on metal music, and music is not physical - only the medium that carries it; call it a cd, a flash drive or an lp. I respect the rules, I merely suggest that they can improve.

regards.

No, the rules will not be modified just because you say so.
What you suggest is not an improvement. You can believe in what you want, but you have to obey them as every other user.

I do not say the rules must change, I just bring up an arguement.. It is absolutely sensible that I will obey the rules, this is a site and has owners and they will do as they wish. I never wanted to give that impression. Metal Archives has been a reference to me for many a year and I respect it for .. well mainly for staying metal, and including pretty much everything that has been That my suggestion will not be an improvement is your own opinion, and maybe of others too; however that cannot justify it as the one undeniable truth. I really need say no more, I don't want to keep this off-topic anymore. I will just get on with providing you the with the proof you requested.

Yes, provide the proof.

Inepsy should not have been deleted. The band has many Metal elements and is very similar to Tank.

That is for this thread:

Hi,

regarding "Aethyr" here is the photo you requested, with the released CD and a magazine review.

http://repository.rapture.gr/major/photo4ma.jpg

I hope that is enough.
thank you.

Couldn't be better.

I have deleted Satanic Army, apparently there are no physical releases (no wonder).

Yes, resubmit.

What about Engel (Swe)? People were arguing whether it should be labeled melodic death or industrial/groove/metalcore, but to me neither is correct. What I hear is pretty much nu-metal with soft Evanescence-like moments. It's not completely devoid of metal traces, but they're not quite enough IMO.

There is no truth; I have proof of phisical releases; Im member of the band.

And I'm the only member of the band, and I dont remember you in my contact list...

But the proofs are right there in the links

How would one go about obtaining that release from you?

Your band was added by someone who faked a lot of releases.. and also, what happened to your "war against metal archives"?

That's the reason I become this band in a solo proyect; the other memebers doesn't take tis like a seroius proyect...

...and making stupid blogs in the profile...

add me to mi mail and I will send you the cd(s)...

can you upload me to the database, please?

why is Les Discrets not on the archives? if Agalloch and Alcest are on here, and Alcest's touring bass player writes most of the material for les discrets, then I believe it should be on the archives since it's related. the stuff I've heard from their soon to be released album is more metal sounding then what I've heard of their previous releases.

They are not a side project as such. Their music is absolutely not metal. If their new album will be predominantly metal, which I strongly doubt, then they can be reconsidered.

And please, stop with that "if one borderline band is here, than another one can be too" it is extremely annoying and it will not help you in any way.

Agalloch is here, because at least the early albums are metal.
Alcest erly releases were in regular black metal style.

I have deleted Genöcide - they played old school hardcore punk:

1. Has this band released anything physical?
2. Is it really metal? sounds like viking-rock for me!

http://www.myspace.com/arashkband
I have re-listened to Arashk and it is definitely more prog rock based than metal. Removed.
Also Suicidal Overdose - speedcore, not metal.

I already submitted a report but then I remembered that this thread exists so I figured I'd bring it up here, too.

This band: http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=3540301715 I believe has no original material. The album notes say the following:



The track "Doença" has lyrics credited to M. of Mgla, but as it turns out this song is, *gasp*, not an original track but rather simply Mgla's song slowed down via Audacity or something similar.

Compare it on the band's Myspace:
http://www.myspace.com/diatribeofthestars
To the song "Mdłości I" by Mgla:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qci5BOtenA&feature=related

This is the only evidence I have as it's the only song with lyrics that I could Google, but I wouldn't be surprised if the album's other four songs were just other bands' songs with the tempo/pitch messed with, especially since recent "covers" by the guy's other project (which was recently deleted from the Archives) were found out to be simply electronically altered tracks by established bands rather than true covers. Anyway, it seems like a total Velvet Cacoon sort of situation.

A Star Forgotten is also a remix or cover (hard to be sure which, for obvious reasons). http://www.metal-archives.com/board/vie ... 73#1501373

The additional notes also suggest a lack of original material...

http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=3540303512
The release isn't out yet.

Sorry for posting this again, but I do not know if it has been seen. It is just a band without a release at this moment.

Nekromantie and Necromantie from Colombia is the same band

Fetus Excavation, black metal from Germany.

Dunno if this qualifies or if it is different enough:
