Thank you,Lordmykill666

Side-projects are only accepted if it's on a label with worldwide distribution.

Resubmit.

Then provide proof, that the new album is wholly guitar based.

How the hell can i do that? i'm not going to post the entire album on youtube or something

That is your problem, not mine.
It is up to the user to provide proofs.
Read the first post in this thread.

Hello,

Can a moderator reconsider this band please http://www.mp3.com/albums/20145976/summ ... clk=artalb

Thanks.

I tried to submit the band Monumental Torment, and after reading this thread it says they can be submitted, but I attempted to submit them and it seems they have been rejected, although I ticked the notify box and have not received an e-mail. Did you reject it or might there have been some server/connection problem which meant it didn't actually submit?

Before I start my appeal I ask you all to take a couple of minutes to open your mind.

Alright:
System Of A Down.
System Of A Down can be categorized as progressive avant-garde metal. They can't truly be called nu-metal, even though they have all the visual-attributes and attitude of nu-metal. SOAD isn't one kind of metal, it is several. In many songs I hear thrash, in others I hear Serj even do growls. Misunderstandings of SOAD are understood; the metal that emerges from SOAD is truly avant-garde, different, and quirky enough to be considered by many as non-metal. But if you truly listen to their work, and listen hard, you'll realize that they are indeed metal. This is coming from a fan of brutal death metal (such as Fleshgod Apocalypse and Suffocation). To my ears, SOAD is metal, and I hope you realize it as well.

progressive avant-garde metal - nonsense. Dream Theater are progressive metal, not jumpdafuckup style like that.

Read what the rules say about nu-metal. This band has no chance to be accepted.

It was probably rejected. Resubmit.

Hello,

Just a question, why Crackhead Killer was not considered metal? In fact this is the most curious rejection I ever recieved.

Thanks.

Overkill L.A. is not metal either and this is a continuation of that band.

Well the band is not a continuation of Overkill L.A., only 1 member Felice LoCoco was an ex-member of Overkill L.A. anyway the demo sounded metal and far away from hardcore and this was their only release.

Hello, I've got one question about this stoner band. Again.

1) Have you rejected stoner Solarized or another band called the same?

2) Have you listened to ALL 24 songs of this band, or only to some of them? If you listen for ex. only songs downloaded on YouTube, I can send you original records (I've got original CDs) and then you'll be convinced that it's more metal than rock band. They've got two guitars whcih give very "hard" sound. In my opinion more songs sound like old Kyuss than hmm... Fu Manchu (which I like too).

Is there a chance to submit this band? It's important to me because I want to download there good metal band. I've been trying to do it since one year, maybe this attempt will be passed?

I will post the link to download the demo http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WKVB0Z4F I suppose this is metal.

I just want to know why Otep was rejected when they are CLEARLY a heavy/avant-garde metal band. Here are just a few examples from all four of their full-length albums:

Listen to this and tell me it's not "metal enough."

They definitly have their metal moments, but there is a lot of outside of metal influence in their music. There's a shitload of hip hop type stuff going on vocally, as well as a pretty heavy Nirvana influence. Structurally, they also follow the grunge formula.

hello... the site refused to add A thousand Reasons, a band from italy that play Death/Thrash Metal

http://www.myspace.com/athousandreasons01

samples are on their FB page:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/A-Thousan ... 0355940561

they don't seem to be too metalcore or math metal...

maybe a band with the same name has been rejected before

thanks ^^

Resubmit.

the band Stahlgewitter was not accepted, i don't expect you to place it, i just want to know why it's not accepted

Because it is not metal, but rac.

is that a type of rock or punk or what?

Search for it on google. The answer is, the band is not metal and will not be accepted. That is all.

I added the band Worship from France today.
I saw that it got accepted but now it's again removed.
Why is that so??

It is the German Worship, same band.

About the band Bad Mamasan the live album Metal Doesn't Say Sorry was out physically some proofs:

http://beijingdaze.com/tunes/2010/09/21 ... -download/ (The result has been out for a little while.)

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bad-Mamas ... 4848877356

(see the comment, other comments available on the band's wall)

from their official site: * Metal Doesn’t Say Sorry is now unavailable in it’s entirety so for those who downloaded or bought it from us, you are the only ones to have it. We left a few covers on here for yucks and to show where we come from. Hail the Metal Gods!
http://www.badmamasan.com/music/

The first comment clearly says, that you can download it and the computer made covers prove nothing.

Yes cause it was also available for download as they said in their official site "who downloaded or bought it from us" they wouldn't buy download tracks from the band since it was up for free download!

ALSO from their official site:

http://i52.tinypic.com/w9iu4g.jpg

http://i55.tinypic.com/67meer.jpg

Clearly stating that they were selling the CD.

Well, the first link shows that you can purchase a physical copy from them, but I am confused as to what it contains. It says that they "change the tunes every few weeks" for the downloaded version, so what is it that the physical version contains? Hmm, definitely interesting, but not really relevant, I suppose.

Seems fair to me that it is released physically as well as digitally.

The CD contains 13 live tracks: 5 originals and 8 covers.
About changing the tunes every few weeks, this is also clear: they wanted to post, every few weeks, 3 songs to download from their official website. They posted the first 3 and later posted 9 other songs at once at this point people can download 12 songs included in that live album. The 13th song was only available on the physical CD.

Resubmit.

They covered ONE Nirvana song, they did hiphop-like vocals on a few songs (so did Anthrax), and I fail to see how they are in any way a grunge band. Besides, we're not looking at influences, because heavy metal itself is influenced by blues, rock 'n' roll, alternative, etc.

I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude or offensive, but I just think it's ridiculous. I also think it's ridiculous that several other bands have been omitted, but you really don't want me to start on that.

Just tried to add Brisbane, Australian band Signal The Firing Squad, who recently released their debut records through Skull & Bones, and it got rejected:

Also here is a link to their album on Itunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/earth- ... mpt=uo%3D4

Also here are two examples of them:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRG2EPGVZt0

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0_yd0NSrWk


I know they have a 'Deathcore' aspect to their sound, but they are just as 'metal' as other groups like Thy Art Is Murder, Widow The Sea, Carnifex, Despised Icon, Red Shore, et al.

So please let me know if you have a change of heart with this band!

The only ridiculous thing is, how you try to convince us to accept a famous nu-metal band, even if the rules clearly say, that nu-metal will not be accepted. So read them and kindly stop trying.
Read also the first post in this thread and what it says about arguing.

Hello,

I can't add the french metal band HORD to the encyclopaedia metallum. They just released their second album, produced by Jochem Jacobs (Textures, Nuclear Blast records). They are a true professional metal band.

Can you help me please.

Kind regards

John (HORD)
