The coverage is WP:ROUTINE and I couldn't find anything that rose above that so fails WP:GNG. No notable musicians, charting, awards, etc. so fails WP:MUSICBIO. Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:39, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: The most I could find was this article about their album and the two articles in the Wikipedia article from Metal Injection. Comment: The article on Metal Injection should also probably be looked into for notability. A brief search turns up nothing notable, and the article relies almost entirely on primary sources right now. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 02:51, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Two albums on Metal Blade Records satisfies WP:NMUSIC criterion 5, and while (like most metal bands) the majority of coverage is likely to be in print sources, there are multiple examples of significant coverage in reliable sources online: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], and an interview in Guitar World: [6]. --Michig (talk) 09:12, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- When I originally saw it, I didn't think the Guitar World interview would help toward GNG for the band. I'm still not sure it does. I did see the AllMusic review, but did not find the other reviews or articles. Thanks. Walter Görlitz (talk) 15:26, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep as passes criterion 1 and 5 of WP:NMUSIC with significant coverage in reliable sources such as AllMusic, Sputnik Music, PopMatters, New Noise Magazine and Houston Free Press and has two albums on a notable label, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 20:41, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Band is signed to a major label, seems pretty notable. --Seacactus 13 (talk) 02:34, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
