Debemur Morti Productions
Debemur Morti Productions is a French extreme metal label founded in 2003 that grew from a reaction against what its founders saw as mediocre standards among underground labels into one of Europe's more prolific independent black metal imprints, with a catalogue now exceeding 200 releases. Its roster centers on black metal in both orthodox and avant-garde forms, while also encompassing death metal and other extremity-adjacent styles, released primarily as collectible vinyl and CD editions alongside merchandise.

Who Is This Label Likely to Fit?
A long-running, curatorially selective French extreme metal label focused on quality black-metal-rooted output; a realistic target for artistically ambitious black/death/avant-garde metal acts with prior releases, but not an easy entry point for brand-new demo-stage bands.
This is Metal-Labels' analysis based on available roster and activity data, not a claim made by the label itself.
Demo & Submission Information
Listen to the label's existing catalogue first to gauge artistic fit. Send only streaming links (Bandcamp, SoundCloud, YouTube, etc.) to dmp666[at]gmail.com - MP3 attachments are discarded unheard - and only submit full-length album material, since EPs and shorter submissions are ignored. Given the volume of weekly submissions, expect a reply only if the label is interested, and avoid sending the same generic pitch to many labels at once, as this is explicitly discouraged.
