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.


Thanks

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.

Completely missed this reply until now.


It's a bit annoying to me, cause a handful of their later stuff is among my favourite output of theirs, but I get it.


Anyway, thanks for the reply :)

Hi,


I've just noticed, that Baroness' discography is not complete yet. Yellow & Green is still missing.


Please add when possible. Thanks.

Haven't seen Mariner (2016) by Cult of Luna & Julie Christmas anywhere on this site.


Would be cool, if it could be added.


Thanks.
