Who Is This Label Likely to Fit?
Apostasy Records is an active, established (2011-founded) German extreme metal label with a sizeable current roster across death, black, and thrash metal, making it a plausible target for underground extreme metal bands; however, no public demo submission policy could be confirmed, so bands should not assume unsolicited demos are accepted.
This is Metal-Labels' analysis based on available roster and activity data, not a claim made by the label itself.
Demo & Submission Information
No public demo submission policy, guidelines, or dedicated submission page were found on the official site; the contact page lists a general A&R/Promotion email but does not state whether unsolicited demos are welcomed, and there is no stated geographic restriction. Bands should contact the label directly to confirm current submission policy before sending material.
