I believe my new release qualifies as metal.
There are riffs, tremolo, and screams.

I also have this newer release

The guitar tracks from Woodland Sorrows where taken from various releases from an artist called Luciferion, I know the artist, his music is really just guitar recordings and thats it. The reason I mention this is because Luciferion is a band that IS on Metal Archives.

I would agree that Woodland Sorrows is worth another evaluation in the queue, but what exactly do you mean when you say all the guitar tracks from that album are "taken" from Luciferion's songs? Are we talking about you used them as inspiration, or did you just put his music to different backing?

Taken as in I grabbed his instrumentals and used them myself, the guy behind the music just does instrumental phone recordings of guitar. So I used the exact same recordings he made but just remixed them and added extra stuff (Like Plunderphonics).

Hah, so, you use someone else's music to "make" yours?

That's not something we consider valid and/or acceptable. If that's the case with all "your" Metal "releases", then the blacklisting stays.

I literally know Drakul personally, it's not like I stole his music, it's more like he played guitar for me. Except instead of making new music he used already recorded instrumental tracks to make a full release. I compared it to plunderphonics because of that reason, and no like 99% of my music is literally all performed by me. Take this more as if he where a session guitarist rather than some random musician I found than stole from. Don't be so fast to jump to conclusions.

I refrained from directly crediting him because I get harassed for even associating myself with him. I put the credits back, they where originally there when I put out the releases.

I rarely even work with other musicians like this but first and foremost I am a vocalist, I'm no guitarist, I play the guitar in basically ALL of my music except for the rare occurences where I don't. You guys on MA want to hear riffs and structure etc, I do free improv guitar I can't even do that so you guys don't accept me. This is why I had Drakul work with me on these two releases. Even the band members of FS are more of just session artists that rarely pop up on releases, I have made way more releases than these two over the years where I do EVERYTHING and you guys don't accept me because of the aforementioned issue.

Bumping this so it doesn't get ignored with the red check.

Just a friendly reminder of the Black Metal I've made that is all 100% everything done by me

I've done more just not a lot of full releases.

With or without the "originality" issue, this still sounds more like noise/ambient than metal.

https://lucidhazeproductions.bandcamp.c ... melancholy This stuff is in lines with artists like Revenant Marquis, Death Mantra, and early Black Funeral. There are Dark Ambient tracks here and there but it's still clearly metal throughout the entire release, just more like Atmospheric Black Metal type stuff than regular BM. Only 12 of the 30 tracks are Ambient / Not Metal, those tracks are some of the shortest and don't make up a majority of the runtime anyways. Imo Death Mantra is a lot more Ambient and Noise orientated than this stuff, mine doesn't really have any actual full on Noise elements.

These are all similar, only main difference is lack of drums, throughout my 2 releases I opened this thread because there are many Black Metal riffs and tremolo picking on them, and the vocals / riffs are there, it isn't mindless free improv. Disregarding it as just Noise/Ambient is just completely inaccurate and false, this is Raw Atmospheric Black Metal in the veins of the aforementioned projects. If this isn't Metal to you guys than what exactly am I playing? Because it isn't Ambient or Noise music.

Now THIS is Ambient / Noise music, a massive difference when compared to the releases I came here for. There is about 31 minutes worth of none Metal music in that compilation, the runtime is 101 minutes, so 70 minutes of that release is pure Black Metal, the rest being non Metal.

My grammar was a bit bad sorry

https://lucidhazeproductions.bandcamp.c ... g-sausages Also more music, this one has zero ambient elements besides the outro

If the last release isn't metal than I don't think metal exists anymore

I'm going to whitelist this based on Summoning The Murmuration, so specifically link that as the album to be evaluated. Feel free to link to this thread in the submission notes as well.
