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

^ 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.

However, with quite a clear rejection last time they were evaluated, I'll wait until they're cleared before I set about the task now Embarrassed:

History
about 6 years ago rdtprog set section to New.
about 6 years ago rdtprog voted Yes.
about 6 years ago aapatsos voted No.
about 6 years ago bonnek voted No.
almost 6 years ago Rune2000 voted No.
almost 6 years ago rdtprog set section to Rejected.
almost 3 years ago NickHudson voted Yes.
about 2 hours ago Cristi_3rd set section to New.

The original suggestion in 2017 was by black_diamond too, but the site wasn't so insistent on a usable biography accompanying a suggestion in those days. Man, that old prog metal team could be a tough one to get past at times. I failed myself with more than one suggestion over the years! LOL

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?
