Who Is This Label Likely to Fit?
Likely a reasonable fit for underground, demo-stage death metal / grindcore / deathgrind bands comfortable with small cassette-first pressings; the exact current path to submit a demo could not be confirmed from official sources.
This is Metal-Labels' analysis based on available roster and activity data, not a claim made by the label itself.
Demo & Submission Information
No currently published, dedicated demo submission page was found; the only confirmed public contact route is the label's general email address. A decade-old founder interview describes a preference for extreme, raw, and distinctive material over reissues, but that may no longer reflect current practice. Confirm current submission expectations and any geographic scope directly with the label before sending anything.
