Can't see anything that suggests any notability outside the heavy metal community. TheLongTone (talk) 15:45, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Even though the band got coverage in magazines like Rock Hard, Metal Hammer, newspapers like Hamburger Morgenpost, DerWesten and radio station Deutschlandradio Kultur? --Goroth (talk) 16:20, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - I think internationsl notability in the heavy metal community in notability. Smmurphy^(Talk) 12:18, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. There's enough for WP:MUSIC#1 with Hamburger Morgenpost, Der Bund, Botswana Daily News, The Voice, Weekend Post and "Overthrust - Botschafter des afrikanischen Metal", Deutsche Welle, 13 August 2016. Smaller mentions turn up in multiple countries and they are even turning up in Mother Jones [1]. (The Voice and Weekend Post share a bit of the same material so may be a bit too much PR rehash for some but the band satisfies GNG without them.) duffbeerforme (talk) 03:13, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
