I have no problema with the riffing argument they have.

I do weekly updates yo muy library finding new albums and bands all the time that are just forgettable "guitar-noise".

Metal has come through some dark periods where every new band seemed like a rip-off of another well established band, and for some, innovating in metal is just making noise.

Some of it is quite creative, actually, like Igorrr, but other Like Z&A is too varied.

Sometimes it annoys me not finding some pseudo-metal band I discover but I don't have a grudge with them even though I've been called out for being a corpse meddler in the forums (reviving very old posts).

There's another database, Spirit of Metal, I think, that isn't that picky. But for what MA is, I salute their stand, especially through times where we might see Miley Cyrus or any other pseudo-artist identify as a metal act and to be "included".
