Helping metal bands find the right record labels

Mort Productions

Mort Productions (号角唱片) is a Beijing-based record label that describes itself as China's first heavy metal label, founded in 2001. Its official materials frame its mission as promoting metal music from mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, and its Bandcamp catalog shows a roster spanning death metal, grindcore, black metal, and other heavy metal subgenres, alongside occasional genre-crossover releases. The label remains active after more than two decades, with its most recent confirmed release - Regolith's 'The Moon Underwater' - issued in December 2025.

Who Is This Label Likely to Fit?

Mort Productions is a long-running (since 2001), small, Beijing-based label focused on promoting Chinese/Greater-China underground and extreme metal, with a plausible but unconfirmed email-based route for demo/promo submissions and no clearly stated geographic restriction; best approached by bands already connected to or based in that regional scene.

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

Demo & Submission Information

No dedicated online demo submission form was found; the only submission route located is a direct email address the label lists for 'Promo or Demo' and 'Wholesale or trade' inquiries. The site does not publish format requirements, genre preferences, or expected response times, so it may be worth confirming those details directly before sending material.
