Maiden England was released on DVD recently. I'm fairly sure it was added to MetalStorm as "Maiden England '88" but it seems to have been deleted.

Does that mean that the new DVD should be viewed as a reissue (of the old video) and won't get its own entry?

I marked to delite it, and lex zep accepted
only original DVD can be added it means 1988 no rerelise , but if new DVD has some bonus you add in old DVD like 2008 re lisse bonus strictly following MS guideline about correct codes etc

Correct. I deleted it because it may have been newly re-issued on a different media format but regardless it is still just a re-issue of an old VHS release w/ bonus content, and MS doesn't give separate entries to re-issues/re-releases. In cases like this all the info about the re-release must be included with the original entry.

BTW if it would be re recorded like Mnaowar what comes in my mind, 1th album they did re record it . in those days when It was addet MS accepted such re recorded for new, not remastered and rerelise .... but DVD well you cant re make 1988 DVD nowadays

Nothing we can do. We don't have an option for unknown status. What is the band to which you are referring?

Like this example

When I'm adding lineups to albums (not the band page), if someone only did something on 1 or 2 tracks, should I say which track/s? Or leave it unspecified as normal?
eg. http://www.metalstorm.net/bands/album.php?album_id=27755&band_id=3421&bandname=Shadowside

For situations like that I prefer to list it the way have just edited it. Looks cleaner this way, imo.

Not sure what you mean. Do you mean like the one I used as an example?

Yea. I edited your example album to reflect how I would like that kind of information to appear on album pages.

I love the New Releases page, it's the most comprehensive list anywhere on the web.
However it only goes back 10 pages to feb 2013, is there an older archive available anywhere?

thx

Here. The way to find it is to hover on BANDS at the top menu bar, then select Albums. Then just edit search parameters for what you're looking for.

This seems to be the most appropriate place to ask this so here goes it: how long does it generally take for a guest review to be approved here at Metal Storm? I submitted one a while ago and have yet to get any notification of its approval or denial so I was just curious. Thank you kindly!

I believe I followed all of the guidelines properly and had actually read through that thread but I wasn't sure if it was the appropriate place to ask about the time-frame for approval, haha, but thank you all the same!

That thread would actually be a better place to ask that if you're going to ask that in a general forum. You only submitted it 5 days ago, we get lots of submissions for guest reviews so it does unfortunately take a little bit of time for those all to be proofread and accepted or rejected. But don't worry, it will get done in due time.

All right, haha, thank you for the information. I am obviously new here so I was just curious as to how the whole process worked and whatnot.

Are bandcamp players embeddable in our signatures?

Bandcamp players are only embeddable in the designated field on the Edit band page.

Sad face.

Should the re-recording of Dungeon's 1st album have a separate album page like other re-recorded albums? I can add it in if it does.
And would Monarch's genre be "sludge doom", "doom sludge" or "sludge" & "doom"? Sounds like both (a lot like Bloody Panda, actually) but I'm not sure how that would be phrased here.
