Does anyone have a high enough rank / prestige to make changes on the metal archives?
Ankou Awaits has some wrong and outdated information - something I'd like to see changed.
Can anyone help me? I can reward with music.

The way you make changes on there is to become a member and then you have to submit the changes for approval to the admins. You have to show proof of the info via links, band websites etc.

Did they change their process? Last time I was there you had to make X number of submissions before you could make any changes...

Oh, you're right I guess? I just filled out a "Report an Error" link - with like, 10 changes. LOL Lets see if those changes are actually made.

Metal Archives has PLENTY of grindcore entries. I think the electronic elements deter them. I experienced the same thing with Hguols. (even other people tried to enter it, not just me, and it was shot down, end of story)

I did not submit it, I just looked at their rules:
We do NOT accept the following (this is our decision, please don't argue this):
•Grindcore (and all its variants; noise, crust, powerviolence, gore, etc) with little to zero metal riffs or influence (ex: Anal Cunt, Libido Airbag, Last Days of Humanity)

So I spent a good portion of the day recently building a page for Amelioration but got an email back that it was denied:
"Sorry MetalBlessing, Encyclopaedia Metallum was forced to reject your submission for the band Amelioration (United States), for the following reason: If this sounds like "death metal" to you, then I think you need your ears checked. This is death metal. This is not.
Not a metal band; does not belong on Encyclopaedia Metallum. Please read (or re-read) our rules next time to see what qualifies as metal."
Links have been removed, but he linked to various bands to give me definitions of death metal. I know amelioration isnt death metal. I classified it as Grindcore/Dubstep/Death Metal simply because their rules specifically say no grindcore. And a few songs such as my As the Deer cover could fall under death metal.
Oh well though at least im on Firestream

Jeez. That's uncalled for to tell you that you need your ears checked. Jerks.

From what I've seen, the MA folks are some of the biggest elitists out there... I refer to the website very often and I appreciate their dedication to organization and information... but I do wish they'd be a bit more consistent. I'm sorry Blake, that is super lame.

Yeah MA can be Quite the Jerks sometimes. Funny they say NO GRINDCORE, yet allow Rehumanize and Eternal Mystery etc.
And Rehumanize is listed as point blank GRINDCORE As is Long Suffering. Maybe they should be called out on that as why do they break their own rules. lol.

They accept Grindcore. Just not every type of Grind. It has to be rooted in metal. More metal than other genres
