They are here because there earlier albums were influenced by death/groove. See the additional notes.

And surprisingly enough, Cries of the Past isn't THAT bad, either. It's like... progressive blackened death-groove/deathcore. Quite unique, in any case. If they'd dropped the bible-thumping and gotten their shit together, they might have done something noteworthy that was ALSO admirable.

I've removed the band Black Winter (US) (dark ambient/acoustic music)

I submited a band, and they ARE real and they have released a demo. I'm holding a copy right now, so how do I prove that they in fact, have a demo?

not a side-project. The ambient one was formed BEFORE the metal one (http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=24136).

not metal, not a side-project with world-wide distribution; only 100 copies.

This band it's not metal at all, it's a disgrace; It plays POP music. Please delete it. Maybe in the past they played some hard rock, but it was only an album and with other members.

One album that's Hevy Metal is enough for insertion in the MA. That they have completely changed personnel as well as style is of no concern anymore after that!

Blackened is already listed in the archives as Blackened (Nor).

Remove Dryad’s Tree

it was already added in 2007

Done. Searching for a part only of the band's name when there are special characters in it are basic things.

please remove them they are nowhere near metal, myspace link on the page

DarkSoul's album hasn't been released yet. It is going to be released on the 14th, according to their Myspace page.

The band contradicts itself the same day.

good to see Suicide Silence removed, now can we get the rest of these "Deathcore" clowns out too?

can anyone give me a full list of bands that are here from the 70's? I'd like to see whose here and who isn't.

Just use the advanced search feature and look for releases from the 70's. You'll have to do it year by year, but it will result in a complete list.

Seconded, this is some shitty jap rock.

Curious to the decision to Wolfbrigade being on the archives. They're more associated in the punk scene and don't really have a metal aspect to them. Closer to the d-beat swedish crust scene than anything.

If they are accepted, does this mean bands like Skitsystem, Warcollapse, World Burns to Death, Disfear, etc should be included as well?

If Wolfbrigade, a band from the punk scene and never associated with metal at all is allowed, why not allow a band that is very similar in scenes and style, especially given that Disfear is a project featuring members from At the Gates and Entombed to begin with?

Don't get me wrong, I like Wolfbrigade so i don't mind their inclusion, but it seems very out of place.

Agree

http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=3540294373
release date is 16th November...?

@ Wolfbrigade, I don't know, I heard about them first time probably, not accepted by me

I accepted Darkology...the original submission had a release date of 2006. I looked it up and found a Nov 2, 2009 release date. I accepted it. Later, I saw it wasn't going to be released until tomorrow.

Leave it as it is. It seems Amazon will ship it starting tomorrow, so it's ok. Plus, I spent enough time adding all the member band links. haha

I don't know who accepted Wolfbrigade, but it looks like they were deleted.

I accepted them and deleted them as well. Misjudgement from me.

So then I take this that Disfear is still a no for inclusion?

Miniatory Sickness is already here as Minatory Sickness.

Edit: Corrected mistake.

It's the other way round.

I've accepted them. I think that this should be here.
Roman Kostrzewski is an icon of metal in Poland and Mystic Art is one of biggest label.
He should be here earlier IMO.
So if you think different, please, use strong arguments.

My band was rejected for "no releases". Ok. The band I inserted DID release a CD-Demo. I even submited the front-cover. I've seen TONS of bands with NOTHING released here. Funny there's an 80's band named Tormenta (Brazil) which I know and I know who submited and this band RELEASED NOTHING AT ALL.

Great reliable archive.....

Wrong thread.

I've removed the French bands Rotor (AOR) and Alien (predominantly hard rock).

Both submitted by Popa_Iuda.

Someone was quicker than me while I was updating the band solar, please remove this entry:

http://metal-archives.com/release.php?id=256036

Sorry for the trouble.

Done. I've kept yours, more complete, and deleted the other one.

Also, I see that the other album seems to a re-release of their 2006 demo. So it should be wise to delete both 2009 editions.

no comment by a mod?

I deleted Flames of Misery and the other non-metal band.

Walaskialf was NOT formerly known as Valaskjalf!
they were formed in 2000 as Walaskialf and "Allvaters Söhne" was only released under this name!

so this "Band" did not exist, please delete:
http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=17590

(message from the Band:
"...Walaskialf gab es von Beginn an (gegründet im Januar 2000) nur in dieser Schreibweise, soweit ich weiß gibt oder gab es mal eine Band aus den Staaten die Valaskjalf geschrieben wurde.
Allvaters Söhne war damals unser erstes Lebenszeichen (aus heutiger Sicht für uns musikalisch wie produktionstechnisch ein absoluter Fehler) und wurde komplett von uns im Proberaum aufgenommen und produziert.
Dann gab es über einen Bekannten das Angebot die Scheibe über einen Dritten pressen zu lassen, als Gegenleistung sollte Werbung im Booklett abgedruckt werden....")

I've removed the bands Mater Hades (darkwave/ambient) and Pansament (hardcore punk).

So, why is Killswitch Engage in the archives? Pure core at its finest.
