The Hall of Judgement: Malokarpatan - Vertumnus Caesar

Daniel has requested that this release be submitted into the Hall of Judgement. If you agree with the below change request, vote YES. If you don't, vote NO.

Request: Malokarpatan's "Vertumnus Caesar" album should be removed from The Guardians while remaining in The North.

This change will see the Heavy Metal genre removed from the release.

Member comment: "Malokarpatan's brand new 'Vertumnus Caesar' album is generally tagged as a black/heavy metal hybrid but I feel that's inaccurate as it's not a 'heavy metal' record per se. Malokarpatan use black metal vocals & aesthetics as the basis for their sound & then layer them over the top of a whole range of different genres including symphonic prog, speed metal, heavy metal, black 'n' roll, thrash metal, avant-garde metal & progressive metal so 'Vertumnus Caesar' is really hard to pigeon-hole but I feel pretty strongly that it shouldn't be in The Guardians. I'd suggest that leaving them solely under Black Metal (Conventional) might be the best approach as that element is the only common denominator across the tracklisting & I think adding the album to The Pit or The Infinite would be a stretch. On that note, I'd like to see the Malokarpatan's 'Vertumnus Caesar' removed from The Guardians whilst remaining in The North."

NOTE: Only members of The Guardians &/or The North can vote on this judgement. Once 15 votes of Yes or No have been entered, the Hall will make its judgement.
