Ben, please add Sky Eats Airplane. But on one condition! We are currently settling a experiment on whether or not Nintendocore is a metal subgenre (https://metal.academy/forum/14/thread/749?page=1#topic_6548) and Sky Eats Airplane is one of those bands. So could you please listen to the 3 Nintendocore songs in that thread including the Sky Eats Airplane track and decide whether or not they're metal enough for Nintendocore to stay in the site? If you consider them metal, then Sky Eats Airplane can be added to the site. If you consider them non-metal, then that subgenre is out of here. There's also a trancecore/trance-metal experiment to see if you agree that Trancecore and Trance Metal have good connection and Trancecore should be a Trance Metal subgenre instead of Melodic Metalcore, so please participate in that one too. And please add in the Bodom After Midnight EP that I requested in the Horde thread soon, so I can give that one a review. OK thanks!

In all due respect Andi, I think we need to determine if trancecore is even a subgenre of metal at all before looking at moving it under another primary genre, particularly as trance metal isn't exactly a well defined genre in itself with only a few bands sitting under the tag with any regularity.

Wow, there are much fewer trance metal releases (18) than trancecore releases (45). How about this; we try the trancecore/trance metal comparison experiment (after the Nintendocore one) to see if it the two genres connect well to extend the amount of trance metal releases, and if they don't, then we test out a few more trancecore songs like how we did the Nintendocore experiment, and if they still don't sound metal, then that subgenre is out of here. If that happens, the consequence would be having to sacrifice trance metal as a primary genre and demote it to a secondary subgenre to... I think it would be a more appropriate subgenre to industrial metal because I have no idea how it's in The Revolution. There's not a lot of relation between trance metal and metalcore, barely even the vocals, and the synth effects that are a main part of trance is more similar to industrial metal and cyber metal. Anyone else agree? But if we demote trance metal into an industrial metal subgenre, that just leaves The Revolution with only metalcore and melodic metalcore as primary genres. On top of that, melodic metalcore is now just a secondary subgenre to metalcore in RYM, so if we do the same for Metal Academy, The Revolution would just be a single-genre clan. Man that would be a lot to change, and I'm not sure I'm up for that. We'll just see how our experiments go first. Sounds good?

Wwooohhhh cowboy! Let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves. There’s absolutely no reason to compare trancecore & trance metal if trancecore ends up being deemed as non-metal (which I suspect there’s a good chance of). 

And for the record, Trance Metal was lumped in with The Revolution because we thought the most likely crossover of fan bases was with the Melodic Metalcore crowd (which has proven to be accurate if you’re anything to go by). We had to put it somewhere initially & didn’t have any better ideas. We certainly weren’t going to give it its own clan. Anyway, it’ll be looked at down the track so let’s just take things one step at a time, starting with Nintendocore.

OK, Daniel. It looks like the amount of votes for Nintendocore to be deemed "non-metal" is ahead (two to one), but we'll look out for any more votes coming in...
