Ok, another list of bands that should be considered for the tech metal section.

Akercocke, because of their great technical abillity, odd stage presence, long range of influences, middle eastern instruments & concept albums.

Absu, for their fast structures, abillity to perform, concept albums, wide range of influences and individuality.

Bal-Sagoth, for their multi dimensional concept based lyrical world, bombastic use of orchestra sounds, odd song structures, and great musicianship.

Akercocke have been already suggested, and are under discussion by the team, and may be re-evaluated.

Absu have been added to our charts for evaluation. http://progfreak.com/Absu,_dbe,artists,_auto_2071286.xhtml?path=pa/pm - You can keep track of the voting tables here.

Bal-Sagoth have previously been rejected by the PMT.

why have Bal-Sagoth been rejected, out of those 3, I expected they would seem more fit to be on this website

I don't know, they were rejected before I was a Team member. You will have to ask one of the older PMT guys.

Absu are blackened death metal

Bal Saggath are sympho blackened death metal

If they are added I strongly suggest adding Mephistopheles (the german band)
