I agree, I've changed it accordingly.

Having black and death separate the way you put is much better than blackened death by the way.

Yeah I thought about doing it that way but it looks a bit scruffy, not to mention the whole is it more one than the other dealy.

Opeth - LIve at Hard Rock Festival has a duplicate. The one that has 7 tracks also has the correct name...

Slot's name needs to be changed slightly. They are originally from Russia, and "Slot" is just a literal translation of their Russian name. Recently, the band has started releasing English-language material and basically tailoring their image to a more global audience. They have officially anglicized their name to "The SLoT," a change which is evident on their YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/TheSLoTmUsic, Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/#!/theSLoT?sk=info, newly-launched English-language website http://www.theslotmusic.net/, and so forth. When I added the band, I listed this name in the "also known as" box, but now it is their official name, so it just needs to be switched out.

Band name replaced [Link]. Thanks for pointing it out.

Excellent. Thank you very much!

Opeth - LIve at Hard Rock Festival has a duplicate. The one that has 7 tracks also has the correct name...

Cynic also have a double EP...

EDIT: Riverside also have a double EP: Conceiving You. Delete the one without cover art.

One more thing: Mats Leven has never been a full-time member for Adagio. From 2010 till 2011 he has been a tour musician, so he should be deleted from current/former (as Kelly Carpenter has been announced the new singer) full-time members.

Tim Owens is mistakenly noted to be on the line-up for Iced Earth's Alive In Athens DVD.

Well, I guess staff are busy writing reviews or something, but please take a look at my remarks regarding duplicate releases by Opeth and Riverside; Cynic has been fixed. Also Mats Leven info.

Another thing: I do not know whether it is possible for us mortals to edit tours, but I don't know how to do that. Leprous is missing two tour dates on their upcoming tour with Amorphis and The Man-Eating Tree: 12.01.2012 - Prague and 14.01.2012 - Vosselaar. Their tour dates can be found here.

Going through the last few errors...

All fixed. As for edits...I dunno, you should be able to edit them. Try Thryce or Panzerchrist (I'm not sure if Thryce is active right now or if Panzer does tour edits but it's worth a shot).

There are two "already here" -bands in band suggestions:

Deleted.

The genre of Leverage isn't exactly power metal - they're even closer to rock than metal. I'd suggest melodic metal, but if that's too abstract, we could go with simply 'heavy metal' like with Amorphis.

This is really my mistake, but I'll put it here instead of album edit spam. The title of the upcoming Barren Earth album is "The Devil's Resolve", which can be seen in the cover art. I simply forgot to include it in my album edit

This site also has "Suomi Metal", however that is defined.

Suomi is something a lot different than this, though, so I wouldn't place them there.

I think that's like...Finnish goth rock or something, with a melodic metal influence.

Yeah, and these guys are clearly not it but they're not really power metal either...

2005 - Symphonic Power metal
2005 - Progressive Heavy metal

That sounds pretty close,so thank you

Just noticed this, not sure where it goes, feel free to move it or delete it, but Iced Earth's rerecording of Dante's Inferno has both Matt Barlow and Stu Block on vocals.

http://www.metalstorm.net/bands/album.php?album_id=56324&band_id=&bandname=Shining Wrong Shining. It's a release by the Norwegian Shining, http://www.metalstorm.net/bands/band.php?band_id=4726

Deleted the duplicate.

Can I request some style additions for some bands please?
Iommi - don't have a style listed yet. They sound like either Hard Rock or Heavy Metal, varying from song to song.

ICS Vortex - no style listed. Storm Seeker sounds like Progressive Rock with a decent bit of Progressive or Heavy Metal in there, too. Sort of a mix of Opeth's Damnation and Arcturus's Sideshow Symphonies.

Jucifer - no style listed. Wikipedia says they're Sludge and when Throned In Blood was a Staff Pick, the reviewer also called it Sludge.

Memento Mori - no style listed. Wikipedia says they play both Doom and Power Metal, but I couldn't hear any Power in Rhymes Of Lunacy, unless the Power sound came on later albums. It might be Doom, but I may just be associating it with Doom due to Messiah Marcolin's voice. Their sound, at least on Rhymes Of Lunacy, is Heavy Metal with a bit of Doom Metal in it. Is Heavy Doom a genre?

Gallhammer - could they get Doom Metal added to their styles, please. There's some Doom songs on Gloomy Lights, most notably the 1st and last songs. Ill Innocence is an even mix of Doom ,Black and Crust while The End has little or no Crust sounds in it. It is a very doomy album, with only 1 song (Rubbish CG202 I think) that sounds like Black Metal. The Peaceville website refers to this album as Drone Doom.
Thanks.

Gallhammer - the End only has one doom track and that's the opener, the rest is a mix of black, crust and some very slight doom, yet all put together terribly crappy

I've got a big dinner tonight, but I'll look at all of this later.

Written by M C Vice on 09.10.2011 at 03:56
...

Iommi - heavy metal/hard rock
ICS Vortex - prog metal
Jucifer - sludge/alternative/avantgarde (fuck it if that's even close, these guys are weird as shit)
Memento Mori - heavy/doom
Gallhammer - no change (Honestly the doom influence is so miniscule it almost isn't worth mentioning... As for DRONE doom? Definitely not.)

I only put Drone in cause Peaceville claimed it was. I've never listened to any Drone, so I don't actually know what it sounds like.
Thanks for giving the others styles now.

Styles for Symphorce should be updated to reflect their recent disbandment.

No problem!

Check this list if you ever want to start listening to some drone.
