We receive huge amount of requests for band addition, and sometimes it's hard to decide which bands should have priority. Hopefully this new feature will be able to simplify the whole process. The idea is that you suggest bands that you think should be featured on MS and vote up bands suggested by others. We then review the list and add bands starting from the top.

On that topic, I said something in the Ideas thread ../forum/topic.php?topic_id=8523&message_id=395358#m395358 but I got no response... and another idea four posts below that one.

edit - ...Also... are there any objective criteria regarding the adding/rejecting of a band that is admittedly hard rock, and not fully metal?

About your suggestion, it would be pretty hard to implement. The forum has a built-in system which logs your visits and visited topics. Doing something like that for the Band suggestions is not really worth it, I think.

And there are no objective criteria for adding hard-rock bands. If we feel a band belongs here, we add it. Everything is on a single case basis. Btw, I hardly have any say in it, so maybe other guys would explain the process better.

Already suggested. Use the freaking SEARCH already... e.g. trying both "six" and "syx"... at this rate I'll be rolling my eyes until they grind into liquid
I really don't want this last bit to happen. Could you please put something about searching and word fragments into the top part with the blacklist and introduction paragraphs?

I've always wondered why James Murphy as a solo artist is not featured on MS. He has two solo albums, really great albums - Convergence (1996) and Feeding the Machine (1999).

I did post this a little while ago in "Band suggestions" already but I feel Divine Empire does belong in the bands on Metal Storm.

Aside form the band being comprised of former members of malevolent creation it's solid US Death Metal. I gotta longer write up in the suggestions section so I'm not out to repeat that.

I dont know if this is the place to suggest it, but i think maudlin of the well and kayo dot should be seperated. While they have most of the same members, they are completely different in styles. Maudlin of the well is mostly jazz crossed with metal, whereas kayo dot is more of a post modernist classical band with only hints of metal.

This issue has sort of been addressed already in the past (recently, mind you). According to Kayo Dot's MySpace page, they are "ex-maudlin Of The Well". On their official website link (provided on the MySpace page) they claim MOTW "morphed" into Kayo Dot.

For future reference, report band profile mistakes here.

Corpse. They're a Bulgarian grindcore/brutal death band with the album Mortal Terror (1990) being the first grind album released on CD in Bulgaria, and often considered THE first Bulgarian grindcore band. Already on suggested bands list.

Is there a way to remove your vote from a suggested band that you gave? If not you should make there be a way just in case you accidentally give a vote for a band you didn't want to vote for, or perhaps you change your mind later.

I have not seen this anywhere in the forums. What can I do if there is a band I want to add that has the same name as another band? The system cannot read that I am not adding the same band again (the styles and links are different), and there's basically nothing I can do to make this work short of perhaps submitting it with the country added (as such ambiguous profiles once were in metal-archives v1).

I would definitly suggest Lazarus AD. Those guys are a pretty good thrash band. I like them almost as much as Warbringer.

Suggest her in the suggestions area and if she get enough votes that the Staff feel all of her information will be filled in quickly then they will add. Doesn't hurt to suggest them and see what happens. If you already know all of the info necessary to completely fill out a profile and get her activated if she was added then I'd recommend also PM'ing a Staff member to ask for her to be added.
