Server upgrade in progress, please report issue

I can have a look at alt metal, though I will have to rely on what RYM says a lot of the time. I often get confused on just what makes a band Nu opposed to plain old alternative. Fortunately I can generate an RYM chart with just nu and funk on them. Nit an ABC list sadly, but I can quickly move the most known stuff this way.

I'll start sorting through a few after dinner.

May look at tech death also though as I actually know more of those.

I suppose you can call death-doom a hybrid, but its a very distinct hybrid. I just think it should be added so there is some way to segregate those bands from the more traditional doom metal types. After all a pretty big differences between the two is that traditional doom usually uses clean vocals. Death-doom uses growls. It's doom's extreme side if you will.

Anyway I am willing to do my bit sorting stuff into its new homes. Just point me to where your short of hands and I'll try to get a bit done every time I'm on here.

It's a work in progress Ashley. There are a good number of additional subs we could add, some of which we will in time. We have to strike the balance between what we want and what we can handle with the volunteers we have. We also need to balance what are clearly identifiable subs with ones that are more ambiguous (of which there are plenty). Neo-classical possibly falls into this later camp, comfortably sitting in a number of existing subs depending on where the emphasis is.

Wow, big changes here since my last visit.

But what about Neoclassical Metal being added?

Also surely Doom Metal is more diverse than just Funeral Doom as a sub-genre? What about Death-Doom? It's a more more common doom sub-genre than Funeral. 

^ on it.

Max there was also main sub-genres for:

This isn't to do with the server upgrade but like with the YouTube problem I've reported a couple of bugs in the forum a while back which still need attention:

There used to be a link to see more of the recent review submissions. There is still one just for new reviews but the one for all reviews disappeared.

I also found that we can't create any charts for child sub-genres (like US power metal or anything under Metal Related Genres) on the site as they don't appear in the options that we can use.
