The band was rejected 6 years ago but as they released new music since then, we're going to re-evaluate.

| ^ There is plenty of info about these guys available on line. If the band is accepted, and no additional biography is forthcoming from the suggester (or elsewhere), I'll happily put one together. |

No problem, I quite enjoy doing them, in a strange kind of way lol! It's actually the second time that they've been suggested this year without a decent bio. The other one was back in May (black_diamond): https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=130958" rel="nofollow - :

Being a re-evaluation, the band needs 4 votes of yes to be cleared. It will take some time with the evaluation of this band.

| ^ Thanks for that, though I always used to think that a re-evaluation on PA needed there to be unanimous approval from a team. It looks like there are currently five active Metal team members, so if we get a 'no' vote and four yeses, will that still be good enough get them through? |
