Metal archives

Encyclopaedia Metallum: The Metal Archives commonly known as Metal Archives per the URL or abbreviated as MA is an online encyclopedia based upon musical artists who predominantly perform heavy metal music along with its various sub-genres. Encyclopaedia Metallum attempts to provide comprehensive information on each band, such as a discography, logos, pictures, lyrics, line-ups, biography, trivia and user-submitted reviews. The site also provides a system for submitting bands to the archives. The website is free of advertisements and is run completely independently. A couple of years prior, HellBlazer had the idea of an encyclopedia for heavy metal and attempted to create an HTML page for every metal band by hand. Although he gave up on that initial attempt, a fully automated site with contributions from its users was in the works. On January 1, , the site announced that bands with entirely digital discographies could now be submitted to the Archives, changing the site's decade-long policy of physical releases only. On November 13, , the number of bands listed in the database reached , Encyclopaedia Metallum maintains a system where a user with a registered account is free to submit a band to the database that they deem to be within a heavy metal genre, but once the band page gets submitted it goes through an approval process where a moderator or in some cases, multiple moderators will review the band's music to determine if it's suitable for the website's classification of metal. Traditional heavy metal genres and era such as the NWOBHM have stringent rulings; users are warned in the rules section to consider bands submitted under these classifications as "ambiguous", in the sense that if a band is submitted with these terms as their genre, the music will be extensively reviewed by the moderators before they decide whether or not to accept the band onto the website. These bands were selected by the moderators "in an admittedly arbitrary fashion", and their submission by normal users was discouraged. Certain genres related to metal that the site does not accept are djent and nu metal , although some bands who are on the site have released albums in the latter genre, such as Machine Head and Chimaira , who both released nu metal material in the early s, but are mostly recognized as groove metal bands.

Of course! One of our main jobs is of course to evaluate bands for inclusion on the site.

I find myself using this app a lot more than I expected. Immediately pull up the app, clicked on the band photo the thumbnail enlarges, and the quality of the photos are typically great , and I was able to confirm it was him all in about 15 seconds.

It was quite a shocking discovery, but it does appear that when analyzed scientifically, it turns out that black metal isn't actually metal. Journey to Beyond. In other projects. Algorithms like this create their own way of "thinking" about things, so to speak, and this can sometimes find patterns and details that escape human beings.

On March 31, , a severe storm caused the roof to collapse on attendees at a metal gig in Belvidere, Illinois. If you know anything about any of the listed bands or you're just really into sleuthing work for old forgotten stuff, we'd be grateful for any help in thinning out the list and contributing to the Archives' completeness.
