Who Is This Label Likely to Fit?

A long-established, currently active French extreme metal label best suited to bands with a developed, professional-sounding release (not a raw first demo), working in black, death, or thrash metal; submissions are accepted only via streaming links and only interesting material gets a reply.

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

Demo & Submission Information

Submit only via the label's official demo submission form with a streaming link (Bandcamp, YouTube, or SoundCloud) - the label explicitly does not accept emailed files - and know that they only reply to submissions that interest them, so treat silence as a pass rather than expecting a rejection notice.
