Metal on Metal Records
Metal on Metal Records is an independent metal label founded in 2008 by Jowita Kaminska-Peruzzi and Simone A. Peruzzi, built around a deliberately narrow focus on old-school metal: classic heavy, traditional and epic doom, US power, speed, thrash, black/thrash and some old-school death metal. Its roster of roughly 30 active bands spans well beyond a single country, and the label maintains a modest, quality-over-quantity release pace of around seven CDs a year plus an annual compilation.

Who Is This Label Likely to Fit?
A tightly curated, taste-driven old-school metal label for gigging, genre-faithful bands (classic heavy, doom, speed, thrash, black/thrash, US power); not a fit for newer or genre-blending acts, and submissions should expect no reply unless the label is seriously interested.
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 own submission notes on its contact page before sending anything: no EPs (including on vinyl), no material that has already been released in any form (including only on Bandcamp or digitally), and no material in the genres the label explicitly excludes. The label states it only replies if it is seriously interested, so silence should not be read as a specific rejection or acceptance signal, and bands should not assume geographic eligibility either way since the label does not publish a stated restriction.
