Judgement Submissions

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.

I've just given this EP some listening and a review, and honestly, it's an amazing return of the post-sludge sound we know. And there's definitely enough sludgy riffing for The Fallen. YES vote from me coming up!

Mirror Touch indeed shows the band taking a turn into just alt-metal, distancing themselves from the djenty roots of their first two albums. In fact, I would say their previous album Happier? continues the direction they've had since Different Animals. So I'll vote YES for this entry. Stay tuned for my Happier? judgement submission...

For the record, I don't recall much of a folk metal feel to this one so I'm voting NO on this occasion.

For the record, I'm well across "Parallel Minds" & I don't think there's enough Power Metal there to command a second primary genre tag.

OK, thanks Daniel.

Thanks, Daniel.

Thanks again, Daniel!

I've just given this release some listening and a review to continue exploring some progressive-ish melodic black/death after my experience with Shylmagoghnar's Emergence, and while it is a blackened death metal album, there's still enough melody for this still to still be melodic black metal. If this was added to The Horde and I was in that clan, I would vote in the melodic death metal subgenre. I also hear a lot of progressiveness in this offering as well, at times sounding like a blend of the mid-2000s eras of Enslaved, Leprous, and Opeth, so I would definitely vote YES for the entry of adding this album to The Infinite.

Listening to this again for the purpose of this hall.  Some of these tracks have some major metal energy, pre-NWOBHM technique aside, and it completely appeals to my metal side.  Considering how many different types of metal we get, I feel that it would be unfair to call this just "hard rock."  Apologies, but I'll be voting no for this one.
