Suspected public relations editing

The article's creator just uploaded a photo which they identified themselves as the copyright owner, but it's an identical scaled down version of photo from the band's official website. This either means the editor downloaded the photo off the band's site and uploaded it as their own photo, or the uploader works with the band or "Return to Dust Promotions" (the management company identified on band's site) and took the photo to supply for publicity purposes, which would require a disclosure here, which they have not done so.

I've found strong evidence of article creator's relationship to the article as well as music marketing companies. Private evidence has been submitted to functionaries. Although a little bit of intuitive search would come to the conclusion, I'm not allowed to post the exact details here per WP:OUTING Graywalls (talk) 13:25, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Image removed

The image that was introduced in this edit without an edit summary has been removed form commons. It was identical to the image on the band's official page and was uploaded by the article's creator as their own image. Graywalls (talk) 15:27, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Metal Onslaught Magazine as a source

When you go to the band's official page, it lists the contact as "Return to Dust Promotions". Upon searching that company, Google result snippet suggests the magazine is closely related by ownership.

It is used eight times and the source in search result says:

I am the drummer for Symphony of Heaven, Timoratus, Ascending King, The Thlipsis, Mystic Winter, and several others. In addition to my work with the aforementioned artists, I am a writer and manager for The Metal Onslaught Magazine, owner of Return to Dust Promotions, and a co-host for the Life of Defiance Podcast.

The magazine's manager is Symphony of Heaven's band member, and the owner of the band's promotion company. Definitely fails NPOV and independent source criteria. Graywalls (talk) 07:54, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
