Lifeforce Records
Lifeforce Records is a German independent label, founded in 1995, that has been continuously active for roughly three decades. Its current catalog centers on melodic death, gothic/doom, and post-black metal, alongside artists with roots in the metalcore scene the label was historically associated with.

Who Is This Label Likely to Fit?
Likely a plausible target for melodic/atmospheric extreme-metal bands at a developing-to-mid career stage; the label states an open email-based demo process, but whether it favors any particular region is not documented.
This is Metal-Labels' analysis based on available roster and activity data, not a claim made by the label itself.
Demo & Submission Information
The label's demo policy page asks for a streaming link only (no attachments or downloads), a short band bio including hometown and country, and valid contact details, sent to submissions@lifeforcerecords.com; it explicitly no longer accepts physical demos. No geographic restriction is stated either way, so bands outside Germany/Europe should not assume they're excluded, but shouldn't assume they're prioritized either.
