Hail to all Spirit of Metal members !

We are changing our way to deal with the bands which have changed their name during their career.

Until today, we kept only one page with the current name, and all the previous names were in the field "Other name / abreviation".

From now, we will have as much band pages as names the band have had. To link all these pages, the field "Previous band name" has been added to the band pages (a "current name" field will be added soon to do the reverse link).

A team of volunteers is currently working on performing all necessary changes on band pages to switch to this new way of referencing, so you don't have to worry about it.
Of course, the submissions guide will also be updated according to this.

If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask us on this topic.

To go further in the details, this Means that while a member of the team does his job (creating new band pages), he also transfers all concerned albums to the new page.

This Action of transferring the albums has an Impact on your personal profile, since the albums are deleted then created again, they are "lost" from your albums collection (and maybe past subissions).

So, don't Panic if the count of your albums collection decreases, your discs are still on your shelf. You juste have to ADD them again in your SoM's collection.
