Contested PROD. Fails WP:BAND. Band have not yet released an album. No indication of notability. No reliable sources. Michig (talk) 21:10, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

• Delete - Despite my searching, I can't find anything reliable or noteworthy. A lot of sites dedicated to metal/thrash spring up, but nothing that isn't trivial. Fails WP:MUSIC. Wisdom89 _{(T / ^C)} 22:03, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
• Keep - An underground band yes (on a significant label, nevertheless), but it is mentioned together with and by very influential bands such as deathspell omega, funeral mist, ondskapt and watain (contributed lyrics on their latest release). In this genre it is a household name, you'll inevitably find it on lot of sites by just doing a lazy google search. As for reliability of sources these guys aren't really likely to be interviewed by MTV. Real magazine articles do definitely exist though, the Terrorizer article on their homepage for instance.Sixhundredandsixtysix (talk) 22:26, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Please Provide diffs for such magazine articles. Also, not a convincing argument if you concede the band is underground or that reliable sources aren't likely to be found. Wisdom89 _{(T / ^C)} 22:30, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Diffs? If you don't know what Terrorizer magazine is, one can question the legitimacy on your opinions about important vs. non-important extreme metal bands. I happen to not have the issue where this interview is published so I cannot produce any details, but it is available at Ofermods website. And most extreme metal bands would be considered underground by mainstream radio music listeners. It's all a matter of perspective.Sixhundredandsixtysix (talk) 22:43, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

• Delete lack of notability asserted. No big mentions in third party sources. Also, to 666, I've never heard of Terrorizer mag. and I'm one of the biggest metal fans you will find. Undeath (talk) 06:08, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
