Next batch, as time allows of course. Thanks in advance I see you are cruising right along with these additions. 

Krisiun, Machetazo, Lunatic Gods, Lost Soul (PL),  Deivos, Punish (Swiss), Dies Irae (PL)

I honestly think that this could be done for about 5 of their releases, but maybe some are already in both? Haven't looked, but I agree for the one in the OP. 

I can sign on to adding Black Future to The Infinite. However, should the time come that we can add a 'style' classifier, I will not hesitate to offer 'Technical' as well. 

Makes sense...keep the Clan pure but don't neglect the outputs from otherwise overwhelmingly metal bands. Good compromise. 

New Release page is sexy. Great update, fellas.

Thanks Strig. I've fixed the Every Time I Die year and the Controller double.

As for Knut, this is because you have The Revolution clan selected, and that album is considered pure sludge, and therefore The Fallen only. If you have no clan filter, it's there.

Indeed.  Oops, thanks. They also have 3 EP's, but I don't want to overload you. I will take a break from band mentions. 

Wow thanks, fast work. I'll just keep feeding you then, I guess. 

Abrogation, Abscess, Abysmal Dawn, Abyssal, Acheron, Ad Patres, Aeveron, Aletheian, Alterage

looks like Mitochondrian got skipped in that last batch?

Any time you have free weekends, you give me a heads up, ha. I've got 100s more for you. 

Bands Requests - 

Goatwhore,  Amoral, Kataklysm, Mitochondrian, Sadist, Stargazer, Adversarial, Posthumous Blasphemer, Polluted Inheritance

Don't want to put too many at once, and thanks

Agreed, perfectly fitting for a release page function, and limited to clan I can understand; although someone like myself would be itching to get at things I couldn't stand seeing unspecified. But that's just me. Thanks, guys. 

Yes, i know we were both long timers in the queue. I think at one point I had added about 45 genres and descriptions myself, before they were slowly updated for this n that and my name bumped. I guess the only thing that comes to mind would be some sort of button where raters could indicate a 'style' addendum without directly affecting the genre tag itself. Similar to what RYM is doing with descriptors, but instead of all the (often not very helpful and too subjective) clutter, just some simple ones like Progressive / Technical / Melodic / a few more that could be discussed.

It would especially help people who are newer to the scenes, and I feel like any database should strive to point its users at what they seek as quickly and efficiently as able. I am confident that the vast majority of users on a Metal oriented site such as this would have similar viewpoints as to what needs what style tag. All of that may be more complex than you crave, or is something for down the road, but I think it's at least worth stuffing into your noggin for later consideration as the site grows. 

Thanks much!

Ah, I see. Alright I will keep that in mind should more have that situation, thanks. 

Looks like the album 'Risk' (1999) was skipped over in the Megadeth chronology. Not that I blame anyone for wishing the album out of existence...
