Agonia Records
Agonia Records is a Poland-based independent label that has built one of the larger rosters in extreme metal, with Metal Archives currently listing more than 60 active signed acts alongside decades of back-catalog releases from genre veterans such as Absu, Atheist, Pestilence and Massacre. The label continues to release new material at a steady pace, with full-length albums from Beheaded, Azarath and Abigail Williams already out in 2026, and it runs its own webshop and mail-order distribution alongside its release schedule. Public sources disagree on exactly when the label was founded — its own website states 2005, while Wikidata lists 2003 — but by either account it has been operating for roughly two decades.

Who Is This Label Likely to Fit?
Agonia Records is a sizeable, actively releasing Polish extreme-metal label whose current roster leans toward already-established black/death metal acts; it does provide a 'band application/demo' route through its general contact form, but the scale of its roster and lack of a detailed public policy suggest a competitive, roster-fit-driven review rather than an open pipeline for first-time demos.
This is Metal-Labels' analysis based on available roster and activity data, not a claim made by the label itself.
Demo & Submission Information
The label's official Contact Us form includes a 'Band application/demo' category, which appears to be the intended channel for reaching out, but no further public detail on preferred format, turnaround time, or what the label is specifically looking for was found. Bands should keep an outreach message concise and include the essentials — music links, background, and contact info — rather than assuming a particular submission format is expected.
