Who Is This Label Likely to Fit?
The Throat is an active Dutch underground cassette label with a raw black metal-leaning roster, but it has explicitly closed itself to demo submissions, so it is not currently a viable cold-outreach target.
This is Metal-Labels' analysis based on available roster and activity data, not a claim made by the label itself.
Demo & Submission Information
The label's own contact page states plainly that it does not accept demo submissions, so unsolicited outreach is unlikely to be productive; note also that several catalog titles use the word 'Demo' to describe the release format itself (e.g. official demo-tape releases), which is unrelated to the label's closed submissions policy.
