Frequently Asked Questions

The frequently asked questions. we nicely ask that you read all of this before emailing us or asking on the forums! Otherwise, should you ask us something that is answered here, we will either send you the link to that page, or ignore you. Not because we’re rude, but we just don’t have the time to always answer the same questions over and over again to individuals. There is no specific order of questions for now, sorry about that. And we apologize in advance if some answers seem rude, but even our patience has limits. 😉
Thank you.

Why was band X rejected or deleted?

I found a band that does not follow the rules of the site and should be deleted. What should I do?

Can you make the following changes to X’s page?

Can you please delete my account?

I found a mistake/some false info on a band/album/label/artist page. What should I do?

But I submitted the report a long time ago and nothing has been done!

I want to change a picture/logo/cover art for a better one, but I don’t have the veteran status yet. What should I do?

I signed up but didn’t receive my activation email / I forgot my password. What should I do?

Please delete my band(s) from your site. I don’t want this information to appear on your website.

If you feel that there are too many errors or inaccuracies on the page, we will be more than happy to correct them. Just use the «report an error» button on the band page and detail the corrections you need, and a moderator or veteran user will take care of it.

But unless your band(s) don’t follow our rules, we will not delete it just to please you. There is no copyright on publicly available information, and that’s all we’re reprinting. If you don’t want your presence to be known on the Internet, there is a very simple solution: don’t form a band, and don’t release anything! Chances are that if you do, someone will hear about it, and might mention you to someone else, and so on, until someone with an Internet connection decides to add your band information to the Archives. Tough luck. If you don’t want your real name to be published, you can always use an alias (exceptions are made for those of you who live in backward countries where heavy metal is against the law; we will gladly help you make the information more anonymous if necessary).

Please delete my artist page. I do not want my real name/photo/etc. to appear on your site.

If one of the following conditions is true, we will gladly help make your artist page more anonymous (remove real names, photos, birth date, etc.), but we will not delete it:

1. You live in a country where heavy metal is against the law and/or being linked to it can severely destroy your life (e.g. Iran, Saudi Arabia).
2. Your real name is unknown to the public, as you are a) credited with an alias on the album(s) you appear on, and b) your band(s)’s official website, Myspace, Facebook, etc. does not list your name or information.

In other words, if the information is publically available, someone on this site will no doubt end up archiving it. «Publically available» includes (but is probably not limited to): album credits, official band sites/Myspace/Facebook pages, and interviews with the artist.
Here are a few cases that really happened, and how we dealt with it:

• Various, unrelated musicians are credited on albums using an alias. Their respective bands’s website lists the alias as well. Some acquaintances (on Facebook or in real life) of these musicians added their real names to the artist pages. Result: real names removed .
• A musician asks us to remove his last name from the page. Unofficial websites list the full name, but his official Myspace only shows his first name. Result: last name removed .
• A black metal musician from Iran contacted us because his photograph appeared on an artist page. Though it’s unlikely to happen, he is still worried about real-life people (relatives, law enforcement, etc.) finding him on the site. Result: photograph removed .
• A musician is credited on album #1 using an alias, and on album #2 using his full name. Interviews confirm this is the same person, who appears in several bands. He has been happily promoting all his bands for years. Recently having a change of heart, he lies and claims he is not in those other bands. He asks us to remove his real name entirely from the page and remove links to his previous bands. Result: real name stays for album #2 credits, no other change to the page. .
• A musician asked us to «remove her profile page» from the site. On her band’s official site, her real name appears, along with a photograph and a short biography. Result: no change on the page .
• A musician, listed as ex-member of a few death metal bands, asked us to remove his page entirely because he «no longer plays metal» and wants to distance himself from his past. He is well-documented as having been a member of those bands, including on the official site of one of those bands, where there is a detailed page listing everything from his full birth name to his hobbies and favourite drinks. Result: no change on the page .

Please note that we do this not to be assholes, but simply to make sure the database of band line-ups is as accurate and complete as possible. If your request is reasonable regarding a violation of privacy, we have, and will continue, to gladly cooperate, but attempts at whitewashing band history remind us of a certain someone. do you really want to be that guy? 🙂

Where can I see the submission queue? I want to add a band but I don’t know if it’s already being submitted.

Can you give me your address so that I can send you my band’s demo/album?

Lookie here.
Some people seem to think that because we host an heavy metal website, we are automatically a metal webzine. Yes there are reviews, but these reviews are contributed by members who sign up and submit them, not us! Though we of course could write our own if we wanted to, after all some of our moderating staff have written their reviews, but neither site owner (HellBlazer and Morrigan) are really good nor interested in writing reviews, so please ask elsewhere for sending your demo. We suggest you take a look in this thread to request reviews.

Unless, of course, you just want to send us your album for free, because you like us or just want us to hear it, go ahead, and we thank you for the offer. 😉 But don’t expect us to review it, sorry, we’re just not very good reviewers anyway. 😉

Can you tell me why I suddenly lost X points? I didn’t even submit any band/review recently!

Actually, we probably don’t remember. We don’t have time to remember every little transgression by our members. Chances are, if your score apparently dropped out of the blue, it’s because a moderator caught you breaking the rules even if you were inconspicuous at it, i.e. you added a bootleg album, a worthless re-release, worthless links, etc. Or perhaps you were point-whoring.

Also, you shouldn’t email us about your points. Quite frankly, you shouldn’t worry about your score so much. If you lost Veteran status and strongly feel like there has been a mistake, please ask on the Suggestion and Complains forum.

How come I just lost all/X number of my points?! My submission wasn’t that bad!

Probably because you did something that angered the Metal Lord (moderator) who was reviewing your submissions.
What pisses off the moderators include a variety of rule violations, but among the most annoying include: writing lame-ass reviews of a few lines and/or little to no content, writing reviews that insult other members or the moderators, submitting a non-metal band and put in a valid metal subgenre (e.g. «traditional metal», «progressive metal», «death metal». ), writing all the info in CAPS, all in lowercase, all in alternate caps, wasting the mod’s time by not providing a link for an obscure band with minimum info and an ambiguous subgenre.

In other words, respect the rules and guidelines and you’ll keep your score. 🙂 Here’s a tip: the more you repeat the same offense, the more you piss off the moderator. Don’t push your luck.

Do you have plans for adding tour dates, interviews, mp3s, sampler/various artist CDs, etc?

My rank recently changed to that of Veteran, but I don’t have more access than before, how come?

Why am I still shown as a «metal newbie» on the forums, I have over 1000 points!

I’m older than you and I’m a «metal newbie», and you’re a «Metal God/Goddess»? What’s up with that? I’ve been listening to metal since when you were in diapers! Etc.

I submitted a band/bands X days ago, and still nothing. What’s going on? Did you reject it? I didn’t get the email!

Check the band submission queue. If your band appears, it’s still pending. If it does not, check under «My bands and look for a «rejected» flag. If it’s still set as «draft», please resubmit. If it’s not under your band list, either something went horribly wrong and you’ll have to start over 🙁 or the band was nuked from orbit to stop wasting the moderator’s time (it’s the only way to be sure. ).

If it’s pending, please be patient, the band submissions list can grow very quickly, often faster than the moderating staff can keep up.

So chances are, your submission isn’t lost (though it HAS happened before, but very rarely), just pending. Don’t worry, some band submissions have been pending for over a month, for diverse reasons (we can’t find info, samples, etc). Usually though, if your submission is not ambiguous and even provides samples, it will be accepted/rejected on the first review.

Это происки владельцев торрент-трекеров, которые хотят получать бабки за рекламу из воздуха.

Хотя, похоже, и правда прикол, иначе не понятно, почему в заголовке стоит 20120401.

Включи JS. Это розыгрыш на 1 апреля

Greetings, all! It’s that time of the year again — time for our classic reviews challenge!

This challenge is a time-honored tradition among our reviewers here. Every spring and every autumn, reviewers are encouraged to spend a week writing and submitting as many quality reviews as possible, with the aim to focus on albums with no reviews so far (i.e. virgin albums).

Every day, the reviews submitted and accepted are tallied, so that participants can see how they compare with one another and whether or not, altogether, we’ve been able to surpass previous challenges’ totals. There’s no prizes or rewards except knowing that you’ve given a review to an album that didn’t previously have one. There’s also bragging rights for the most reviews, if that matters to you. Please read this thread for the rules and to discuss the challenge!

The challenge is named in memory of our friend Diamhea, a long-time contributor to the challenge and staff member here at Metal Archives, who sadly passed away on May 21, 2018. He was the first person to have ever written 100 reviews for a single challenge!

The challenge will start at 12:00AM EST on Monday June 14th and will run until 11:59PM EST on Sunday June 20th.

Everyone is welcome to participate — all you have to do is submit reviews as usual during that week.

Looking forward to your participation! \m/

Wow, that little joke blew up, huh? Cool to see so many people enjoying the feline band pictures. So much so that our traffic more than doubled, and the server had a hard time keeping up. Sorry about the slowness!

Thanks to Black Metal Cats Twitter, sadanduseless.com, various cat pic subreddits, and many, many other random sources from Google Image Search for the material.

Happy April Fools to all, and by general demand, if you want to keep browsing MA with cats instead of humans. Now you can!

Here’s a few items regarding some largely unrelated things we’ve noticed during the last year or so of working on the site and which either (to my knowledge) aren’t explicitly addressed in the rules or may need an explicit refresher here. Nothing really major, but I feel they warrant some clarification regardless.

• As with logos, band picture collages should generally be avoided. Only use the most recent available photo. There are some exceptions, particularly for some of the bigger bands that have particularly lengthy careers under their belt, but these are rare and it’s best to leave adding them up to moderator discretion.
• Please do not add digital releases that are being offered for clearly ridiculous prices. This is a common issue with Bandcamp in particular, with a lot of bands setting an album’s price to (usually) 666 USD/€/etc. This appears to be a common way of encouraging people to buy the physical release instead, while still making something available for listening. Obviously, essentially nobody is going to pay these amounts and as such we do not consider such releases to be valid in any way, neither for submitting a band nor for addition as an album entry to an already listed page.
• Please, please, PLEASE do not use the «Add another version» function for «correcting» errors. Use the report function instead if you cannot edit the existing version yourself. We get way too many duplicates that way.
• If a label puts out a re-release of a band’s work after they’ve split up, please do not put said label under the «Last known label» field. The same applies to posthumous releases of recorded, but hitherto unreleased material. The label field should only ever reflect whatever the band was signed to while still being active. Use «Unsigned/independent?» if they weren’t signed to any label when they disbanded.
• The chronologically first release is always the parent version of a discography entry, barring perhaps a very few freak cases generally up to the staff to rule on. For instance, it doesn’t matter if a band considers a later CD release to be the «official» release if a digital version has been available from their Bandcamp before that. If it came first, it is first.
• There seem to be some misunderstandings about how to properly use the «Formed in» and «Years active» fields. To clarify, «Formed in» should always reflect the year a band entry’s name (or minor variations thereof that don’t warrant their own entry) was first active under. It does not refer to when they may have formed under an earlier name (regardless of whether that incarnation is listed or not). We also do not differentiate between things such as when the idea for a band was first conceived and when they actually played their first show/rehearsal/etc. «Formed in» and the first year under the entry name under «Years active» should be identical in that regard. Also please do not add guesswork based on when a band’s first release came out, only use explicit information.
• There is no need to add the current year to band or lineup ranges to represent «-present». Leave it blank and this will get filled in automatically (and otherwise the information inevitably becomes outdated).
• No US state postal abbreviations for locations, please, always spell them out. Not everyone knows these by heart. An exception to this is the label address field.
• The photo field is, surprisingly, only intended for actual band photos. Not album covers, not additional logos, not any other kind of band-related photo that does not show any band members. It’s alright to leave it blank if there are no usable photos.
• Instrumental album versions should be added as child entries to the main releases, and not as separate entries or even separate listings. An «Instrumental» tag can be added to their version descriptions. Note that being an instrumental version doesn’t automatically mean it can only be a version entry. It largely depends on the difference between the recordings. If we are just talking about the same source material being used, simply without the vocal track(s) (and maybe missing or adding a few other things), then it’s a version. If something was completely or mostly re-recorded, a separate entry is required.
• There is no need to add redundant information to the version description. If a release is a CD, don’t add «CD» to the VD field. If it’s digital, don’t add «download» or similar. These can all be covered with the format field.
• For external links, Spotify and Deezer should go in the «Official» section, while Amazon and iTunes should go in the «Official merchandise» section. Furthermore, please add Bandcamp links in the form of bandname.bandcamp.com as opposed to bandname.bandcamp.com/album/albumname.

Thanks for reading and happy/safe holidays!

Over the past few months, the staff has had another look at the site’s policy in regard to what constitutes a valid digital release (specifically one needed for a band to be acceptable), attempting to further minimize the arguable special treatment of physical releases relative to digital ones. Some of you may already have noticed that certain requirements have seen some loosening again considering newly approved bands, in particular when it comes to digital singles and production quality in general. We would now like to make certain things explicitly clear in this news post, highlighting two major changes.

1) Streaming-only releases are now valid, if and only if they are available through an officially sanctioned reputable distributor. This most prominently includes Spotify, but also other big outlets such as Apple Music, Amazon Music, Tidal and Deezer. The list is not exhaustive and subject to expansion over time as we see fit. Youtube/Youtube Music is NOT acceptable, unless of course a download link is included in the video description. Additionally, streaming-only releases on music-promotional sites that normally/potentially do come with a download option are also not acceptable, i.e. SoundCloud, Bandcamp, ReverbNation, VKontakte, etc. Of course, downloadable releases from such sites are still valid; nothing has changed in that regard, but when it comes to streams, we want to stick to the more prominent, dedicated sites for now.

2) We have decided to become more inclusive concerning bands with only digital singles, as opposed to the previous, restrictive approach where only exceptional and multiple single releases would qualify for a select few cases. The basic requirements and guidelines are as follows:

• Ideally there should be multiple singles, although in the case of only one, moderator discretion can come into play considering things such as length, genre context and other factors.
• Unique cover art is still essentially a must. Other considerations can provide some leeway here, such as the number of singles and general presentation.
• Advance single previews/teasers for upcoming albums are not acceptable, and neither are a bunch of random song downloads on a band’s website. Please be sensible in distinguishing these from actual autonomous single releases (again, unique cover art goes a long way towards making a case for an acceptable single, but it also depends on the way something is presented and promoted by the artist).

Updated sections for the rules covering these issues and more are in the works. Thank you.

Please don’t upload logo collages (multiple logos in one image) to band pages. We will eventually support uploading multiple logos and pictures from different periods, but for now, just the most recent logo is enough (or the most recognizable/classic logo in the case of a split-up band).

As many of you likely already gathered one way or another, the site isn’t going anywhere. Happy April Fools’ Day!

However, the projects we linked to in the previous post are very much real and doing actual valuable work you can contribute to. If you elect to donate your computer’s resources, we’d be happy to see you joining the official Metal Archives teams (#237115 on Folding@Home and simply «Metal Archives» on Rosetta@Home). Happy crunching! \m/

In light of the ongoing pandemic situation, the staff has decided to dedicate the site server’s computational resources entirely to the Folding@Home and Rosetta@Home distributed computing projects for biomedical research, until such time as a cure/vaccine for COVID-19 is found. As a result, the site will be taken offline completely effective 24:00 EST today.

We understand that for those of you currently under quarantine or engaging in social distancing, Metal Archives is now more important than ever, but even so it is the unanimous opinion of the owners, admins and the moderator team that the priorities are clear here. We hope you can understand this decision, as it was not reached lightly.

Thank you for your continued support and we hope to be back as soon as possible. If you would like to help shorten the downtime, be sure to check here, here and here for more information. Stay metal, safe and healthy!

We’ve decided to make a change to the way we handle band appeals.

Up until now if you wanted us to review a band that has been rejected, deleted and/or blacklisted, you had to ask in a thread in our «Suggestions & Complaints» forum. While this method has served us well for the last decade, we realize that there’s always room for improvement. As a result, we have decided to dedicate a whole forum, the «Band Appeals» forum, to handling these requests.

The way this new forum works is simple. Each band brought up gets its own thread (see our example thread). In that thread, people are free to (politely) make the case for why we should reverse our decision to reject/delete/blacklist that band. A moderator will respond with our new decision — whether to whitelist the band so it can be resubmitted, or to maintain the rejection/deletion/blacklisting of the band. Once a decision is rendered, it is FINAL until or if the band releases a new album, or new evidence comes up that shows it may qualify as acceptable under our rules. Threads will be flagged to show if the appeal has been approved, denied, or needs more information/evidence.

Before asking for an appeal, you are expected to do a search of the forums to see if the band has been previously brought up. You are also expected to read our guidelines for how to make an appeal and what evidence we would need for it. Please note that duplicate threads for bands that already have threads will be closed. Likewise, we ask each user to limit the appeals they bring up to no more than a few per week.

We hope this new system will make appeals easier and more streamlined for everyone. Please remember to thoroughly read our guidelines on it.

Yes, as most of you have figured, we’re not really going to start filtering bands based on their subjective quality. though many people seemed to actually be into the idea! We instead remain committed to documenting every metal band in an encyclopedic fashion, as always.

Thank you all for your reactions, it was entertaining as usual. Happy April Fools’ Day.

There will be a short downtime tonight around 1 am EST. Sorry about the inconvenience.
