A guide to the Hall of Judgement

Ben 6 years ago

The idea behind the Hall of Judgement is to give site members the opportunity to vote on which genre(s) and/or clan(s) a particular release should belong to. If you feel that a release shouldn't be where it currently is, create a new thread here in the Judgement Submissions section. Make sure you're clear about what you think should happen, and provide brief summary as to why. It's your task to convince other site members that your opinion is the correct one.

Once you've stated your case, an admin will either enter the release into the Hall of Judgement or ask for clearer / more information.

Warning (German band)'s 1982 self-titled debut is doom metal, not avant-garde metal

Very well Sonny. We shall go to the Hall on the doom metal association too.

Lord of the Lost's "Opvs Noir Vol. 3" should be in The Sphere

Shadowdoom9 (Andi) 7 hours ago

As with the first two parts of Lord of the Lost's Opvs Noir trilogy, I can hear some industrial metal to go with their symphonic gothic metal in Vol. 3. Many songs have the mechanical guitarwork and electronics of industrial metal. So I'd like to send Lord of the Lost's "Opvs Noir Vol. 3" to the Hall to be added to The Sphere while staying in The Fallen and The Guardians.

Mirrorcell's "Long Nights in Lovescape" should be in The Revolution

Shadowdoom9 (Andi) 4 days ago

Although the new Mirrorcell album has taken more of an alt-metal approach, half the amount of songs still have some metalcore heaviness. The screamed vocals and hardcore instrumentation in those songs are enough to give the album a lot in common with bands like Issues and Volumes. With that, I'd like to submit Mirrorcell's "Long Nights in Lovescape" to the Hall to be added to The Revolution while maintaining its position in the Gateway.

Growth's "Under the Under" should be in The Infinite

Shadowdoom9 (Andi) 4 days ago

The brand-new Growth album is what I would consider a potential progressive tech-death adventure. Several tracks have the expansive sounds and complex structures of progressive metal, alongside the deathly aggression. With that, I'd like to submit Growth's "Under the Under" to the Hall to be added to The Infinite and progressive metal while staying in The Horde and dissonant death metal. And I'd like to encourage Horde members to vote in the technical death metal tag.

Myrath's "Shehili" should be in The Infinite

Shadowdoom9 (Andi) 4 weeks ago

Myrath are known for their blend of the melodic progressive metal of Symphony X with Middle-Eastern elements. Although Shehili shows the band taking on more of a simpler folk metal direction, there's still enough of the expansive sounds and complex structures to justify being in The Infinite. With that, I'd like to submit Myrath's "Shehili" to the Hall to be added to The Infinite and progressive metal while staying in The North and folk metal (the release page already has the progressive metal tag only in Genres).

Therion's "Live Gothic" should be in The Infinite

Shadowdoom9 (Andi) 2 months ago

Although Therion is generally known as a symphonic metal band, their live album Live Gothic has a setlist containing some of their more progressive tracks in their discography up to that point, making it one of their most progressive releases since their mid-90s material. Those tracks have the expansive sounds and complex structures of progressive metal, alongside the epic symphonics and choirs. With that, I'd like to submit Therion's "Live Gothic" to the Hall to be added to The Infinite and progressive metal while staying in The Guardians and symphonic metal.

Stick to Your Guns' "Comes from the Heart" should be removed from the Revolution

Shadowdoom9 (Andi) 2 months ago

Stick to Your Guns was more of a hardcore band early on, rather than the metalcore of their recent releases from True View onwards. In their second album Comes from the Heart, there are the crushing riffs and unclean vocals often heard in metalcore, but they have far more of a hardcore vibe than metal. With that, I'd like to submit Stick to Your Guns' "Comes from the Heart" to the Hall to be removed from The Revolution and be deemed non-metal.

Damaged's "Passive Backseat Demon Engines" should be removed from The Revolution

Daniel 3 months ago

I've passed this one rather than waiting for an outcome that will never arrive Andi. I've got a very strong & long-term relationship with this release & you're clearly right.

Sirenia's "Sirenian Shores" should be removed from The Guardians

Rexorcist 3 months ago

Symphonic metal doesn't have to be heavy or power based. Vovin proves that. Nevertheless I'll give it a spin today.

Vision of Disorder's "The Cursed Remain Cursed" should be in The Gateway

Daniel 3 months ago

I've just passed this nomination as the release now qualifies Andi.

Lychgate's "Precipice" should be removed from The Horde

Ithilien's "Shaping the Soul" should be removed from The Horde

Daniel 3 months ago

I've passed this nomination uncontested Andi.
