Dusktone
Dusktone is an Italian extreme-metal label and store operation based in Como, founded in 2010, that both signs new black/death/doom/experimental-metal artists and issues licensed physical (often vinyl) reissues of existing catalog titles. Metal Archives lists it as active with 65 bands on its current roster, and its Bandcamp storefront cites a back catalog of roughly 145 releases spanning Italy, the Nordic countries and beyond.

Who Is This Label Likely to Fit?
A reasonable target for black/death/doom/extreme metal acts able to submit a complete, well-presented package online; not a fit for artists who only have a bare MP3 with no bio/press materials, or who are pitching a vinyl reissue of music already out on CD elsewhere without being exclusively signed to the label.
This is Metal-Labels' analysis based on available roster and activity data, not a claim made by the label itself.
Demo & Submission Information
Read the label's stated demo guidelines closely: submit online rather than by mail or bare email attachment, include a bio, photos, tour history and social links, and provide a streaming link (not just a download) for review. If you're hoping specifically for a vinyl pressing of previously CD-released material, note the label says it only does that for artists exclusively signed to Dusktone.
