Requests for The Infinite Releases / Bands to be added to Metal Academy

February 10, 2020 07:09 AM

Ben, please add Murmur (USA).

February 14, 2020 06:49 PM

Hey Ben, could we get Astronoid (USA) added to the website?

February 19, 2020 07:34 PM

Hi Ben, could you add Psychotic Waltz's new album The God-Shaped Void please.

March 09, 2020 09:50 PM

Hi Ben,


Sorry, I should've been more clear: on the previous page, the Virus I was requesting was the avant-garde metal band from Norway.

I thought that might be the case, but none of their releases meet the criteria for Metal Academy. It's all Experimental Rock. The Black Flux is the only album with a Black Metal primary, but the votes are 27 yes, 24 no.

While I've got you, I've had failed attempts to add Let 'em Burn, Man.Machine.Industry and Toby Knapp. Let 'em Burn appear to have only released two demos to date, while the other two bands have albums with zero genre votes on RYM. Unless you can confidently tell me what genres to attach to each of their releases, I might sit on those until there's more uptake.

Aha, no worries, I didn't know Virus were so heavily voted for experimental rock. Never mind!

Eh, probably best to leave the others for now then. I got one of Let 'em Burn's demos years back, and the others I just got sent one album each to review, so I certainly couldn't peg all their releases. No biggie.

Ben, please add Skyharbor (India).

March 12, 2020 09:31 PM

Ben, please add Stealing Axion (USA).

Hi Ben, could you please add progressive metal band from Brazil: Okyr

Quoted Jean Elias

A quick look at RYM confirmed my suspicion that you're actually a member of the band. That of course is perfectly fine, and I'll add it to the list to be added to the site this week.

Feel free to share any info you want to about the band and/or the album.

Also, if you do intend to contribute to stick around Metal Academy, note that you have the option to have three clans. Just let me know which other two you like to be part of and I'll sort it.

September 08, 2020 02:56 AM

Welcome Jean. We're very supportive of new &/or undiscovered bands here at Metal Academy so we'd be interested to hear a little bit about your band. It also goes without saying that the more ratings & reviews your album gets, the more exposure you can expect for Okyr so we'd encourage you to invite as many of your friends & fans to register & contribute to the site as possible.

Hi Ben. Can we add the new Ayreon record Transitus?
