HAHAHA wha...?[views:9426][posts:73]__________________________________________________ [Jul 19,2009 11:58pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] Sorry TycoBrahe, Encyclopaedia Metallum was forced to reject your submission for the band Heisai Yasokawa's EMPTY ORCHESTRA (United States of America), for the following reason: Not metal; does not belong. If you would like to object to this rejection, please do so in the appropriate thread in the suggestions and complaints forum. Do not e-mail moderators directly about this. Sincerely, Encyclopaedia Metallum |

| ___________________________________ [Jul 20,2009 12:02am - archaeon ""] They're pretty retarded about that shit sometimes. Ion Dissonance isn't on there. and theres a lot of grindish stuff that would make sense on there that isnt |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 20,2009 12:02am - RichHorror ""] Yeah, I fail to see how this is surprising. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 20,2009 12:03am - archaeon ""] just make a shitty deathcore band, and itll be up right away |

| __________________________________________________ [Jul 20,2009 12:07am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] And all the TTOS projects are on that site EXCEPT HYEO. WTF? |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 20,2009 12:08am - RichHorror ""] Now that is a shock. I remember they denied Benumb over and over. |

| _____________________________________ [Jul 20,2009 12:14am - RichHorror ""] They still do, if you click the 'not metal' link. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 20,2009 12:16am - RustyPS ""] isn't Gridlink on there though? |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 20,2009 12:16am - arilliusbm ""] There are many loopholes in MA's submission standard |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 20,2009 12:20am - archaeon ""] My favorite HYEO song is Rusty's ukulele solo |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 20,2009 12:25am - RichHorror ""] Grindcore - Death/grind = OK. Noisegrind, crustcore, jazz/grind, heavy punk/hardcore, etc. = Not OK. |

| _______________________________________ [Jul 20,2009 1:05am - boblovesmusic ""] haha, aww, I was hoping HYEO would get on there. Can't say I'm surprised for some reason. Sometimes you can go to the forums and argue your way in, but it's kinda annoying. Someday I'll do it for you guys! |
| _________________________________________ [Jul 20,2009 2:19am - BoarcorpseJimbo ""] Nick- maybe when we do the record in the winter it will get on. |

| _____________________________________ [Jul 20,2009 10:17am - arilliusbm ""] The worst loophole with MA submissions are the Ambient / Dark Ambient stuff they add. It basically boils down to the Moderator's opinion. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 20,2009 10:34am - AUTOPSY_666 ""] Fuck that site. |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 20,2009 10:36am - the_reverend ""] not news, terrible subject to go to the front page. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 20,2009 10:39am - arilliusbm ""] I presonally think Led Zeppelin belongs on MA. Even though they are "proto-metal" .. If Rush is on there, the Zeppelin can be on there. If Deep Purple is on there, then Zeppelin can be on there. Hell, I even think King Crimson should have a nod on that page. What the moderators deem 'metal' is ultimately redefining the whole genre for all the metal newcomers. Site getting real lame now. The review system also makes me sick. Nothing worse than reading a negative review about a GOOD classic metal album by some proclaimed 16 year old. |
| ___________________________________________ [Jul 20,2009 11:36am - MillenialKingdom ""] Between The Buried and Me is not on here and that pisses me off. There are so many bands who should be included but aren't. Hell, they even accepted Emmure and labeled them Deathcore (which they are not). |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 20,2009 11:37am - arilliusbm ""] I'm pretty sure BtBaM are on that site |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 20,2009 11:38am - arilliusbm ""] they were for years. but I guess they were taken off. Good. |

| _____________________________________ [Jul 20,2009 11:46am - arilliusbm ""] anything that overtly has more "-core" elements than metal elements will probably get the boot and/or not get accepted. BtBaM have always had a -core backbone but the musicianship is definitely top-notch with their touches of metal in the songs. |

I think for the past 2 albums they've moved away from the Metalcore genre completely. I never really thought they were core to begin with. They've always been a Progressive Metal band to me. Progressive metalcore or something. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 20,2009 12:09pm - archaeon ""] They have chugs like every 3 songs and they're tasty chugs. Also, archaeon was denied at one point because i submitted before our CDs were actually for sale. gay. |

| _____________________________________ [Jul 20,2009 12:46pm - RichHorror ""] We got rejected because our CD is imaginary, apparently. |

| ____________________________________ [Jul 20,2009 1:21pm - RichHorror ""] haha, I just figured we would sneak on since everyone in Rampant Decay minus the drummer is in or has been in a black metal or death metal band. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 20,2009 1:25pm - arilliusbm ""] Won't hurt to try again? |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 20,2009 1:26pm - RichHorror ""] I didn't care that much in the first place, I was just amused to see in what way we wouldn't make the cut. |

| _____________________________________________ [Jul 21,2009 7:08am - markrichardsmobile ""] Composted was put up on MA waaay before we released our CD. Cool that they did that but stupid since it's against their rules. As far as the whole BTBAM thing is concerned, they've maybe had about 5% "core" anything in their entire discography. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 21,2009 9:18am - brian_dc ""] Thank you, Mark...finally a little sanity. They had two albums that had breakdowns. Oddly through those, they were on that site. Now they're more of a Prog Metal band and they're removed? I mean...it's a shitty site. Just about every band has some sort of label they don't merit. But I don't understand why BTBAM would have been removed. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 21,2009 9:29am - arilliusbm ""] BTBAM deserves to be up there more than other bands I've seen (unless they're deleting those too). I think Millenial Kingdom and Brian were right though, it seems BTBAM's newer stuff is a little more proggy than the older stuff. Not sure why they'd take it down now. But I think a lot of the mods think any band that has had a "breakdown" in any of their songs is highly frowned upon. but like i said above, who are they to define what's metal and what's not. certainly doesn't make sense when they delete shit they accepted |
| _____________________________________________ [Jul 21,2009 9:50am - markrichardsmobile ""] By that logic, Slayer shouldn't be allowed to be on the site. Raining Blood has the sickest one chord chug in history. Even Hell Awaits had chugs. |

| ______________________________________________ [Jul 21,2009 11:06am - MarkFuckingRichards ""] I thoroughly enjoyed the s/t. Silent Circus just didn't do it for me. Alaska was really good, mainly because half of Glass Casket is on it. I thought Colors was fucking crap when I first heard it, then it grew on me. I have to be in the mood for it though. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 21,2009 11:08am - brian_dc ""] I'm only really in for the first self/titled and silent circus as well. Their more "metal" material is less interesting to me...but it's still more "metal" and that's what the site is about. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 21,2009 11:08am - arilliusbm ""] i honestly haven't heard enough after the s/t so my opinion does not matter whatsoever haha. i DO remember, though, the song "naked by the computer" basically describes half of my life |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 21,2009 11:11am - xgodzillax ""] speaking of glass casket. desperate mans diary, holy fuck! absolutely AMAZING record. i know, its been out for years now, and ive had it for years, but STILL! |
