Who Is This Label Likely to Fit?
Best suited to extreme/underground metal acts with a fully produced, mastered release ready to send; the label's long history and mix of veteran and newer artists suggest genuine A&R interest but also real competition for slots.
This is Metal-Labels' analysis based on available roster and activity data, not a claim made by the label itself.
Demo & Submission Information
Make sure your material is a complete, fully mixed (and ideally mastered) release rather than a rough demo or rehearsal recording, and prepare a band biography, logo, photos, and links to your social media and web presence before reaching out. Submissions go by email per the label's own submission page; the label states it will only respond if interested, so treat silence as a pass rather than following up repeatedly. No geographic restriction is stated on the label's submission page, but this has not been independently confirmed either way, so it would be reasonable to check current guidance directly with the label before submitting from outside Europe.
