I forgot to ask about vocals for guest and studio (session) musicians. Can we used "backing vocals" or other such specifications?

If there are full-on guest/session bass, guitars, keyboards, drums or backing/lead vocals, etc, add them in the lists.

Err, the regular way we add guest/session musicians.

Ahh ok. So is it appropriate to put things like, acoustic guitar, backing vocals, spoken word, drum solo, etc?

I'd say "yes" to acoustic guitars and backing vocals, and "no" to spoken word and drum solo. Add those to additional info.

Three quick questions that I posted on the last page:

Can I ask what happened to mathcore on this website? It seems the styles were separated into math metal and metalcore

Written by LeKiwi on 01.03.2016 at 15:22

I saw that the profile for The Obsessed had their style changed to stoner metal. Why is that?

Written by LeKiwi on 29.02.2016 at 01:07

Listening to Sylosis' first two EPs and I noticed that the styles don't match the music. On the first three releases the melodeath elements are more metalcore, and their proggy aspect is nowhere to be found until their debut. I propose the following edit to their styles:

- Metalcore (2000-2008)
- Thrash metal (2000-2007)
- Progressive thrash metal (2008-)
- Melodic death metal (2009-)

SC will continue as The Obsessed and since TO was doom and will now play SC songs live , I think stoner must be from 2016

Yes, but The Obsessed album material will be doom only as far as we can tell.

Opeth still plays their heavier stuff live, but their style now isn't extreme prog, it's prog rock. Nawamsayin'?

Pressure Points are extreme prog. They're about as heavy as Blackwater Park era Opeth.

Here's another band that needs to be separated into two profiles: The Kindred.

Tempel requires the "instrumental" tag.

I've begun to notice that genre tags are being deconstructed into separate elements. Mathcore has become "math" + "metalcore" and now "death thrash" has become "death" + "thrash". Why is that being done?

examples please

Written by D.T. Metal on 23.03.2016 at 19:06

examples please

The Dillinger Escape Plan used to be mathcore and now they're labelled as math metal + metalcore despite the fact that mathcore is a very distinctive style. As for death thrash the best example I could think of is Sepultura's style from 1985-1993, which was originally death thrash from what I recall. In any case, I remember in the past searching for mathcore and death thrash would return countless results, but now they those labels are nowhere to be found

With no member being a vocalist, it's kinda obvious they're no vocals band, right?

No reason, I believe. I just thought it look'd better than "Black Death metal", "Death Thrash metal", "Power Heavy metal" and such. In some case there was even "Black Death Thrash metal" as one style. Thought I'd separate them for a cleaner look, or merge when possible.

About TDEP, I think we added it like that due to "Mathcore" not being a style option, only a prefix. Since it is, in the end, a mix of the two styles, we choose to add "Math metal" and "Metalcore" to such bands.

Some people might want to search for bands with the instrumental tag, so it's always handy to add it in

When I see two styles side by side and not combined, I assume that the band has some parts that are "x" style and some parts that are "y" style. So when I read math/metalcore I assume that I will not like approximately 50% of the music given that I generally don't enjoy metalcore, whereas that doesn't really do TDEP justice. Not sure if I'm articulating this well at all

I have a quick question. Say one musician, for example, performs guitars and vocals from 2000 onwards. Then, a post on Facebook in 2016 indicates that he no longer performs guitars, and now is only a singer. Which of these two would be more accurate:

2000-2015 Musical Person - guitars, vocals
? 2016- -//- vocals

OR

2000-2016 Musical Person - guitars, vocals
? 2016- -//- vocals

check out this band and ubb in aka what I listed
http://www.metalstorm.net/bands/band.php?band_id=1038&bandname=Clone

can we put it all under one band The Bereaved since Clone has just 2 demos and emthy profile looks so lame .. or we keep even if its 1-2 demos?

Yea, go ahead combine the 2. Make sure the review stays linked to the album too, be sure to let me know if it gets disconnected.

Cold Body Radiation

atmo BM must be deleted IMO, can you put on staffers forum

I don't hear anything just shoegaze and post rock there

I think the Rotting Corpse Records profile should be deleted since it's not a band. I've already added the bands featured on MS to the VA album.

Remember, always look reviews, if mark something to delete and only admin can delete band

band is blank, will pick a band and fill later, make new band visible ... what band, my dession

I feel like I've confirmed this dozens of times, but it continues to perplex me. "Backing vocals" can only be used for guest or studio musicians, not for the actual line-up. Is that right?

Why can't it be used for the actual line-up?
You've got the vocalist and then, let's say, the guitarist doing backing vocals.

Exactly, that's why it perplexes me. If you search the chat somewhere, there should be a conversation between myself and another staff member stating that "backing vocals" was to no longer be used.

Sorry, I misunderstood you in that case. I thought you were of the opinion it could only be used for guest musicians and not for actual band members.

One year ago Lex said that no matter what only "vocals" should be used. However, recently, J. N. said that we could use "backing vocals" or "spoken word" or whatever for guest and studio musicians, but not the actual band members.
