Helping metal bands find the right record labels

Kernkraftritter Records

Kernkraftritter Records is a small, independently run German record label based in Wolfsburg, operated by Kay Potreck. Its catalog numbering began in 2012 with a Debauchery live DVD, following earlier, uncatalogued punk-related releases dating back to 2005, and the label's focus has since centered mainly on death metal alongside thrash, black metal and grindcore. As of mid-2026 its catalog runs past 130 numbered releases and the label continues to add new titles, working with an underground roster of largely German bands sold through its own webshop and official Bandcamp page.

Who Is This Label Likely to Fit?

A small, hands-on German label that appears to work only with German bands and puts out physical CD/vinyl releases for underground extreme metal acts; its demo submission process is unconfirmed, so direct contact before submitting is advisable.

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

Demo & Submission Information

No demo submission policy, submission page, or explicit demo contact could be confirmed from the label's official website, Bandcamp, or social channels during this research, and no stated geographic restriction beyond the German-bands-only pattern noted above was found in an official source. Bands should reach out via the label's official contact channels first to ask whether and how they accept submissions before sending unsolicited material.
