Most of the bands that I listen too that are Death Metal / Thrash / Power are pretty much all listed, but when it comes to the Modern Metal stuff it's fucking weird that some bands get accepted, and some bands who are almost identical to that band aren't listed
For Instance Veil of Maya is listed in the archives.
But, I can't understand why August Burns Red wouldn't be in there. Maybe not as similar a style, but It's essentially a much heavier band than All That Remains, and that shit is fucking listed. I get it their older stuff was decent metalcore back then, but based on the shit they are now. They ought to be removed.
I gave the new ABR album a listen and I don't understand how that isn't metal.
The understanding I got was that these bands that aren't listed don't have enough riffs, which is complete garbage to begin with, but whatever.
I guess that's what Wikipedia is for I suppose lol...
I realize this might start some sort of elitism or whatever... I'm just ranting. I don't really care. I'm just curious as to why some aren't accepted when others who are legit similar get accepted :/
