Helping metal bands find the right record labels

Reprisal Promotions

Reprisal Promotions is a small independent extreme metal promotion project based in Blitar, East Java, Indonesia, with a Metal Archives-recorded founding date of June 6, 2006. It operates as an independent promotion outlet tied to musician Herry SIC's projects and is tagged on Metal Archives as specializing in black metal, death metal, and grindcore. Its own Bandcamp profile is explicit that it considers itself 'NOT LABEL/RECORDS,' describing the work instead as a side project alongside the LOSTINCHAOS mediazine, oriented around reviving a 1990s-style extreme metal sound. Over nearly two decades it has accumulated a roster of more than 70 Indonesian bands and over 150 tracked releases - mostly digital, with occasional limited CD runs - spanning full-lengths, EPs, splits, and demos, with the most recent entries dated into 2026.

What Does Reprisal Promotions Release?

Representative artists: Slavesun, Devirginated, Halls of Blasphemy, Bloodfrozen, Praevalidus, Creature of Nothingness, Ceremonial Cryptorium, Darkest Aeons

Roster is essentially 100% Indonesian extreme metal bands (per Metal Archives, all 73 current-roster entries are tagged Indonesia), reflecting a hyper-local, community/scene-based focus centered on Blitar and the wider Indonesian underground rather than an internationally diversified catalogue.

Who Is This Label Likely to Fit?

A good potential fit for Indonesian or Southeast Asian black/death/grindcore acts, especially newer or DIY bands seeking low-barrier digital promotion within an established local scene network; likely a weaker fit for bands outside that region or seeking a conventional label deal with physical distribution and marketing support, given the outlet explicitly describes itself as 'NOT LABEL/RECORDS'.

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, dedicated submission address, or stated geographic restriction was found on the sources checked in this pass - the operator's own website could not be reached during this research session, and neither its Bandcamp profile nor its Metal Archives entry states submission terms. Anyone considering reaching out should use the official Bandcamp contact channel or the label's listed Facebook page to confirm current submission expectations directly, and keep in mind the operator's own description of itself as an independent promotion project rather than a record label.
