Ch'ti That's exactly what FIR does. Just mixing whats already popular together.

@ScreamingSteelUS yes I see what you mean I just felt like we should do market research to add a band. "This band doesn't generate posts", we're not in marketing, MS is still about promoting metal bands.

And it seems to have gotten worse with the new singles

@Boxcar I admit I really enjoyed singles like Chokehokd and Aqua Regia, but when the album came out I really didn't like the sequence of tracks that go off in all directions, especially the title track.

I don't mean to sound dismissive - this is not at all a definitive policy of ours, and again I'm not even saying those two bands are out forever. It's just that we don't have the resources to be as broad as we'd like.

going by comments, ratings, and other user submissions or active signs of interest is about all we have to rely on.

related suggestions. Overall traffic isn't a good indicator of value - half the hits a page gets are probably bots crawling the site. As much as I'd like us to have an infinite database that can cater to absolutely everybody,
