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.

Tyr's "By the Light of the Northern Star" should be in The Infinite

Shadowdoom9 (Andi) 2 days ago

Tyr's 2000s sound is generally a blend of progressive metal and Faroese folk, sometimes leaning into Viking metal. Although their 2009 album By the Light of the Northern Star starts to show the band distancing from their progressive side, there's still enough of that within the expansive sounds and complex structures to justify being in The Infinite. With that, I'd like to send Tyr's "By the Light of the Northern Star" to the Hall to be added to The Infinite and progressive metal while staying in The North and folk metal.

Orphaned Land's "Ararat" should be in The Infinite

Shadowdoom9 (Andi) 2 days ago

Orphaned Land has had their blend of the melodic progressive metal of Symphony X with Middle-Eastern elements since their 2004 album Mabool. Their EP Ararat contains demos and remixes of song from that album. The songs have enough of the expansive sounds and complex structures to justify being in The Infinite. With that, I'd like to send Orphaned Land's "Ararat" to the Hall to be added to The Infinite and progressive metal while staying in The North and folk metal.

Culprit's "Guilty as Charged" should be in The Guardians

Shadowdoom9 (Andi) 2 weeks ago

Thanks, Daniel. I say my view is that Culprit album and those first 3 Queensryche albums are progressive metal, whether mostly or to some extent, yet they haven't cut the bridge between that genre and heavy metal, unlike Fates Warning when they went pure melodic progressive metal from No Exit onwards and Dream Theater which has always been an Infinite band. With that in mind, I'll be voting NO there.

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

Daniel 2 weeks ago

I've created a Hall of Judgement entry to decide on the doom metal credentials of "Warning":

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 4 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
