These have all been added with the exclusion of BAND-AID, since they're not considered to be metal on RYM.
Welcome back from your vacation, Ben! Please add the new DragonForce album Extreme Power Metal.

Is it possible to add any Ghost releases past Opus Eponymus?
I know there is some debate regarding Ghost being metal past that point, if that's the reason for the lack of the albums. Personally, I don't see any issue still considering the band metal past that point, as I feel the band is still somewhat tied to metal culture regardless and each of the following albums still has a fair share of metal influence to it.

Hi robiu013, and welcome to Metal Academy!
I'm afraid we have to draw the line somewhere when it comes to including releases that aren't considered to be metal. What I've been doing (and I think it's working well) is adding all releases for a band from their first one that is considered metal to the last one. So if Ghost were to release a metal album next year, then I would go back and add all their other releases since the debut (as a Non-Metal release with no clan). Basically, once a band stops being metal then they are no longer part of Metal Academy.
Otherwise the site would be filled with rock albums by bands like Anathema and The Gathering. Good albums, but they're not what this site is all about.
Cheers,
Ben.
How about Budgie? Though their discography dances between Hard Rock and Heavy Metal, their first 4 albums are solidly metal.
Also, amazing if you are pretty much adding everything on your own. Much respect and thanks.
You'll find a couple of Budgie releases have already been added. Their more classic 70's material has been deemed to be more hard rock than genuine metal though. Do you disagree?
