@DeliciousDishes it most certainly does apply here. Take King Crimson for example. They had a huge influence on prog metal, therefore they are featured. MS has never been strict about band's not being metal enough

There's a point to be made about those bands being (more) influential to metal. I don't know if that applies here.

Well, Bizarra Locomotiva for example are blacklisted for being Industrial (which is fair), but they have more metal elements than other featured Industrial bands like Nine Inch Nails or Neurotech.

when MS has been strict about bands being not metal enough

12:40 - Dark Forever
Why is MS so strict about some bands not being "metal enough", but then adds 100% non-metal bands?

@Kurty well he shared what he liked in early 2017 through the shoutbox and the new releases thread, which is where ungfell for example came up.
