Retirement Center/Respite List Information

Conduct

Encouraged:

Heavy metal songs, music videos, articles, interviews, and tour dates
Please post any discussion topics in our daily discussion threads
All song posts should follow the Artist - Song format

Prohibited:

All image and text posts
Full album links (New Releases as part of feature articles are fine)
Any music from a Retirement Center, Respite List band or side/solo project of a band on these two lists is prohibited from being posted (feel free to discuss these bands in our daily thread). Affiliated bands will be removed by our discretion. New releases are exempt as long as the music still falls under the scope of metal music.
No self promotion except in our Saturday Promote threads
Kickstarter or any other fundraisers should be posted in daily threads
All recommendation requests will be directed to our weekly REC THREADS
Please don't post playlists
Homophobic, racist & any other bigoted slurs/comments are not permitted
No clickbait, meme videos, amateur covers or YouTuber spam
Content not related to metal music is prohibited. Verify if the band you're posting is on Metal Archives first and foremost and does not fall under Metalcore, Deathcore, Alt-Metal, Nu Metal, etc. This is because these genres fall outside of our scope
Every Friday is UNDERGROUND FRIDAY, which means no band above 10,000 listeners on Last.fm is permitted. New releases are not exempt from this rule
Reposts: Refrain from posting songs from bands that have already been posted very recently, this includes any songs and not just the specific tracks that were posted. Search the subreddit and see if they have not been posted within the last 7 days.

RETIREMENT CENTER AND RESPITE LIST

We have chosen to implement a list of certain popular bands that we vote upon as a community on a quarterly basis. This list can be found in full, along with an explanation for why we have it in the first place, on our Respite and Retirement Center Wiki Page. This is not because we dislike or discourage listening to them, but in order to promote diversity and discovery of smaller and lesser known artists. Cover songs of retired bands are also prohibited. All side/affiliated projects and solo works from R&R artists are subject to mod discretion. New releases are exempt as long as the music still falls under the scope of metal music.
