23.07.2023 - 20:54 Written by Starvynth on 23.07.2023 at 19:02 Sorry for that, all my infos are from discogs. Should I put the source in the "comment on changes" box ? Because the "source of informations" box doesn't show up anymore when I add albums, which is what led me to believe it wasn't necessary anymore

Thorns are incorrectly labelled as industrial black metal on their first 2 demos, which were just regular black metal

I don't know if this is a mistake or not but Gama Bomb are listed as being from Ireland. In truth they're from a town called Newry in Northern Ireland close to the Irish border. This would make their country of origin the UK. If they consider themselves Irish or British or specifically Northern Irish I don't know. So maybe leave them as being from Ireland?

Written by Nejde on 08.09.2023 at 06:14 Good catch. You're right that the band was formed in Northern Ireland and I have corrected the profile accordingly. However, only two of the founding members remain and the two most recent additions to their lineup are of Irish origin. More over, the band is Irish according to Facebook and Bandcamp, and vocalist Philly Byrne has publicly identified as Irish several times. We can't ignore all that, and that's why the option to specify Ireland as the current country comes in handy.

Art of Propaganda Records and AOP Records are the same thing. But, some bands like The Spirit list only "Art of Propaganda" while Finsterforst only lists "AOP". These two label categories need to be merged. https://artofpropaganda.bandcamp.com/

19.09.2023 - 23:17 Written by F3ynman2000 on 19.09.2023 at 21:48 We're aware of this, but it's just the tip of the iceberg. As long as people fail to understand the principle of selecting a name from a list and prefer to add alternative spellings, there will be mistakes. A good example is the five different versions of 'WormHoleDeath' currently floating around the database... Fixing this manually is not an option. I did this once trying to get rid of Bad English's creation "Unsinged", and it took countless hours. Anyways, sooner or later we'll have to eliminate all the duplicates by means of an allocation table, so thanks for the heads-up.

19.09.2023 - 23:52 Written by Starvynth on 19.09.2023 at 23:17 Sorry to hear that it's such a widespread issue. I wish you good luck sorting that all out someday!

20.09.2023 - 00:05 Written by F3ynman2000 on 19.09.2023 at 23:52 Thanks man! BTW, your issue should be solved now. I tried a quick fix by merging both names into 'AOP Records (Art of Propaganda)', but I cannot guarantee that I included each and every band profile. Invisible profiles sometimes behave a little strange...

There are two versions of Bumblefoot's album Uncool listed on discogs, and they have a different tracklist and cover art. The version we currently have on MS is the second one, so I'm wondering what we should do about that release Link to each version here and here

11.12.2023 - 11:10 Written by Roman Doez on 11.12.2023 at 09:57 Having a re-release in our database was indeed totally uncool... Artwork, release date and tracklist are now based on the original 2000 version.

Any pettiness aside, why is Drowning The Light getting a Nazi pass? We nuked Abyssic Hate and Silencer for less. I don't get it.

17.01.2024 - 21:04 Written by nikarg on 17.01.2024 at 20:21 Yeah for sure, just didn't seem that way by the way some albums/demos we're being deleted while the profile remained.

Drowning The Light's profile has been deleted for the aforementioned reasons.

Ved Buens Ende has the release Those Who Caress The Pale listed as both an EP and a demo, when the EP version is simply a reissue of the demo with an additional track

18.02.2024 - 18:37 Written by Roman Doez on 18.02.2024 at 17:48 One can argue whether this is really a mistake. Technically, the bonus track is a new recording, and besides, we're talking about two different formats. Moreover, if it is a mistake at all, it's a very old one that I am reluctant to correct because for 15 years, no one has been bothered by it. Deleting the demo or the EP would inevitably also erase the ratings. Additionally, there are quite a few users who have one or both versions in their collection and I would rather not change that.

Written by Starvynth on 18.02.2024 at 18:37 Yeah that's why I brought this up here instead of filing the deletion form, wasn't sure what to do about the situation, but I can get behind your decision

The recently-added band Solipsist should have the genre tag 'Groove Thrash Metal' rather than 'Metalcore'. I enjoy both genres and have listened to them quite a lot, so can definitely say they don't have much in the way of Hardcore in their sound.
