A7: Non-notable band. Fails WP:GNG and (mostly) fails WP:BAND. I know this group very well, and they're just a trendy deathcore band. I know their music videos have a few million views on YouTube (but that's mostly attributed to the over-hyped marketing machine of a vocalist that is no longer in the band). There's only ONE source that is used on the whole page, Googling their name indicates no such notability that passes WP:GNG. They've also never charted and definitely are not one of the more noteworthy acts of the deathcore genre. Second Skin (talk) 23:55, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I know this band as well, I find them freaking awful and annoying (but that's because I cannot stand deathcore (or metalcore for that matter). But that's not the point here. (Punknews.org Album Review) This is the only good source imo (PunkNews is a reliable source). Even though I have found other sites that reviewed this album, they are blogs. The Metal.de page is blank, it only lists their tour dates which does not establish any notability either. But no album review or anything. The rest of the results are the usual suspects like Metal Archives, Discogs, Rate Your Music, Spotify, Youtube and all this crap. There are also several news about their new vocalist (including the one in the article) but I don't count them as reliable sources because they have PR and gossipy feel. So in retrospect, this band has gotten some coverage, but that's because the marketing machine worked. There is nothing special about this band, they are just like every other deathcore band. Some of them are notable, some of them aren't, like this one. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 09:13, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
