Question: Kirk Hammett played on the latest K'Naan album and I wanted to add that to his profile, but I am not sure how to. Could someone please help me out?

Done. Couldn't figure out how to add 2wo to it, since they're not featured and typing it in after the numbers for the other bands didn't work. (only has 1 song from 2wo anyway, though.)

I've fixed it up for ya. You can't put a band name in the profile number field, it doesn't do anything. Since we don't have a profile for 2wo, there's no way to make that name show up at the top. Instead of I added the band names to the tracklist to properly show which tracks are by which Halford venture, and that also works in conjunction with the bands you add in that profile number field; the way the page is setup now with the profile number tags and the way the tracklist is now is the actual proper way to create a 'Split' album page.

Well, I was gonna PM you anyways since your submitted review is way, way too long; almost double the suggested max word count of 500. If you could be a dear and scale it down some, we will have one of our proof readers look it over. Please check the FAQ for further info.

Thanks for you kind reply! Yeah, I had the review and the thoughts ready in my head and then I saw the word limit... And I think all passages have a place there and have sense, but I will really try to scale it down. As you can see from the formatting, I have read the FAQ Should I just send it over again?

Redone, resent, 560 words, can't go any lower, this left me in tears, too. The webzine I am writing for asks us ~800 words so I am just really used to expressing my thoughts in that format. (It is a Hungarian webzine, so I didn't send the same material, before you start worrying about that and link me to the FAQ once again )

As Bad English noted, follow the link he provided, then type 2015 in Year field, then Filter style by Thrash, then check the Show invisible bands box. That will show you all Thrash albums from 2015; or type in 2016 to see next year's.

That is the only way to see all albums of a certain genre by year.

What should I do when a musician in a band picks up a new instrument later? In this case it's a keyboardist starting to do vocals on their new album. Add him twice?

The new Siaskel album has two different artworks. The digital release on Jan had a different artwork from the physical release, probably an edited and modified version of the real artwork of the physical album which is the one I think should be featured here. So how do we determine which is the one that should be featured here? I didn't find any album edit specific rules in FAQ.

How is that? I don't see any specific rules regarding it here. Black Twilight Circle albums are released in awful quality tape initially so is that the original release you always listen to and the digital and cd releases doesn't count? I know its not the same as artworks. But if you look at the two artworks for this album, you can see the digital release just had some extra layouts added to the original art. It looks awful ffs compared to the original art.
