Who Is This Label Likely to Fit?
A good target for brutal death metal or slam bands with a finished, genre-appropriate recording; the label reviews unsolicited submissions but only contacts artists it wants to sign, so silence should be read as a pass rather than a lost submission.
This is Metal-Labels' analysis based on available roster and activity data, not a claim made by the label itself.
Demo & Submission Information
Have a finished, genre-appropriate brutal death metal or slam recording ready before reaching out - the label's contact page states it only wants submissions in that style, provides a single email address for demos, mail order, wholesale, and trades, and explicitly asks bands not to follow up: if there's interest, the label will contact you first.
