Who Is This Label Likely to Fit?
Scarlet Records is a long-running (since 1998), currently active Italian label with a broad power/melodic death/heavy metal roster and a frequent release schedule; it takes email demo submissions but gives no guarantee of a response, making it a realistic target mainly for bands with a polished, ready-to-release product rather than very early-stage acts.
This is Metal-Labels' analysis based on available roster and activity data, not a claim made by the label itself.
Demo & Submission Information
Submit via the label's official contact page using a streaming link (not unsolicited physical copies) and include a full contact address; the label states it only replies if interested and asks artists not to follow up on submissions, so treat silence as a pass rather than confirmation of non-receipt. No stated geographic restriction was found, but this was not explicitly confirmed either way.
