[edit] Quality Standards questioned?

The article is great considering the amount of information there is around about Shape Of Despair. Whos with me here? xXSouthern SlayerXx 15:30, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

The problem was probably the Jarno Salomaa section, which started as "The man himself started it all...". Cleanup is now done and Jarno Salomaa is as its own article again. Prolog 18:07, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Mist And The Morning Dew - genre

They have not labeled themselves AT ALL any form of doom, on their website it says Folk Metal so I'd say that in Jarno Salomaa's article it should be altered.

If you don't believe me, check it out yourself - here is the link, read the right section

• "Music can be related to near folk/metal but altogether the use of an monotonous and dream-like melody-lines, created by all surrounding female-voice along with guitar melodies and a violin, this whole world t.M.a.t.M.D. offers has a very relaxed and a trance-like approach in it."

We can't use the genre that the band label themselves in, but what external sources say. The band is on Doom-metal.com, Metal Observer call their self-titled album "doom metal" and Encyclopaedia Metallum list them as "doomy folk". Therefore, I think "doom/folk" is justified.
