Who Is This Label Likely to Fit?

An active, prolific Ukrainian underground label/mailorder that explicitly welcomes unsolicited demos in black metal, dungeon synth, dark ambient and noise, judged on atmosphere rather than production quality; no dedicated submission form or stated geographic restriction was found, so bands should follow the site's email/Facebook process directly.

This is Metal-Labels' analysis based on available roster and activity data, not a claim made by the label itself.

Demo & Submission Information

Review the label's existing catalog and Bandcamp output first, then submit via email or a Facebook message with a Soundcloud/Bandcamp link and a short description rather than attaching mp3 files directly, per the label's own stated process. No dedicated submission webform, geographic restriction, or current-year founding date could be confirmed from the sources checked, so confirm any of those directly with the label if they matter to you.

Submission information last checked: August 2026
