Now that I'm in charge of compiling and updating The Revolution and The Sphere Metal Academy playlists, following Daniel stepping down from that role and other aspects, I'd like to note a few things. I'll still do the usual monthly schedule, so I can release new playlists on February, March, April, etc., because I enjoy making the playlists and have a lot of time in my hands, and I want to keep those playlists active in the uncommon chance of attracting new listeners of these genres. Though I might skip a month or a few if I end up busy in the outside world with a job or a college course like when I had that break a couple years ago. I'll also continue my monthly sneak peek submissions (half-hour max per clan) though only from bands/releases I've listened to in the prior month and/or I'm already highly familiar with. As always, contributions are welcome, but the one track per non-clan member rule still stands for the sake of the playlist's legitimacy, though if you send me two or 3 submissions that are all by bands I'm familiar with and enjoy, I can accept them all. While the recommended deadline is the 15th of each month, I'm flexible enough to allow one submission after that date. The maximum deadline is the second-to-last day of the month (clarified in the deadline list below), so I can have time in the last day of the month to finalize the playlist and get it ready for when a new month dawns. If anyone has comments about this, please let me know here or PM me. Let's hope the playlists can stay alive!
Deadlines for next few months' playlists after the February one:
March playlist: recommended - February 15, maximum - February 27
April playlist: recommended - March 15, maximum - March 30
May playlist: recommended - April 15, maximum - April 29
And so on...
Here are my suggestions for March:
Imminence - Proclaim (2024)
Make Them Suffer - No Hard Feelings (2024)
I love both of those tracks, and I was actually thinking of adding in that Make Them Suffer track before you suggested it, so I accept them both, Saxy.
