Judgement Submissions

And what happens if this is voted a no then Andi? Does that mean that you'll never listen to it again & will remove your review so that you won't be linked to death metal?

For the record, I'll be voting no here.

Should Venom's "Possessed" be in The Pit?

Daniel 5 years ago

I was only joking Andi. I'm fine with the result if that's the way the members have voted but, just to be clear, I wouldn't class ANY of Venom's first four records as legitimate speed metal as (in much the same way as Motorhead) there's no more than the odd speed metal song here & there. Take the "Black Metal" album for example. Of the ten songs included, I challenge anyone to identify more than two tracks that qualify for the speed metal tag. It's really only the title track & "Heaven's On Fire" as far as I can see. The rest all fall under traditional heavy metal with the possible exception of "Teacher's Pet" which is more of a blues/punk/hard rock effort than it is metal. Is 20% of the tracklisting enough for a legitimate speed metal tag? I don't think so as the fact that it's 70% heavy metal comfortably outweighs any speed metal reference but that's just my two cents.

Special Horde removal judgement submission week: Day 7 - The Gathering's "Downfall: The Early Years"

Shadowdoom9 (Andi) 5 years ago

Thanks Ben! And good timing too, my departure from death metal (https://metal.academy/forum/10/thread/748) is only a couple days away. All that's left is my submission for Persefone's Core to be removed from the Horde (https://metal.academy/forum/28/thread/688), could you please add that to the Hall during your next judgement submission addition round? Thanks again!

Cool, thanks Ben!

Running Wild's "Death Or Glory"

Ben, please also create an entry for Running Wild's "Wild Animal" E.P. for the exact same reasons.

Alcest's "Les Voyages de l'Âme" should be in The Infinite (post-metal) and The North (blackgaze) (can be two separate submissions or one)

Shadowdoom9 (Andi) 5 years ago

So I gave Les Voyages de l'Âme a full listen and review, and I was right about this album being metal, specifically post-metal and blackgaze, as heard in most of the album, though the band does what most other black metal bands wouldn't do; evoke hope and tranquil beauty. With my feeling for this release unchanged, I'd like to try again to submit Alcest's "Les Voyages de l'Âme" with the proposal of being added into The Infinite with the post-metal tag and The North with the blackgaze tag (can be two separate submissions with one for each clan, or one for both).
