Contested PROD. Unsourced since 2009, not exactly a garage band here but no detailed, in-depth coverage. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 12:41, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The band have released a dozen studio albums, with 3 released on Massacre Records, 1 on Sanctuary Records, 3 on Noise Records, and one on Century Media. This gives a pretty clear pass of criterion 5 of WP:NMUSIC. As with a lot of metal bands, there isn't a lot of coverage online as it tends to be in print magazines, but there are four album reviews at Allmusic ([1], [2], [3], [4]), one on the German edition of Metal Hammer ([5]), and they've had at least two albums on CMJ charts. There's also some brief coverage in Garry Sharpe-Young's metal books ([6], [7]). --Michig (talk) 19:34, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The article needs to be better supported with more citations, but in addition to what the last voter said, this band has enough basic coverage for a short article at least. Their albums are regularly reviewed by the usual suspects, and here are some more brief but passable sources with general news and background: [8], [9], [10], [11], [12]. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 13:27, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
