Who Is This Label Likely to Fit?
7hard looks like a plausible target for developing German (or internationally submitted) rock and metal acts wanting artist-development support and distribution from a small independent label, rather than acts seeking a large, genre-specialist metal label.
This is Metal-Labels' analysis based on available roster and activity data, not a claim made by the label itself.
Demo & Submission Information
7hard's official page states it accepts demos digitally or by post and asks that a band photo and biography be included; submissions go through 7us Media Group's general contact. No stated genre or geographic restrictions were found during this research, but bands should confirm current expectations directly with the label before sending material, and should not assume any restriction absent from the public page implies unrestricted worldwide acceptance.
