Who Is This Label Likely to Fit?
A genuinely active, DIY Italian extreme-metal label with a large, eclectic roster and a formal, email-based, English-only submission process; a reasonable target for underground metal/hardcore bands with an existing recorded catalog and some live/press history, though what geographic scope of artists they'll actually sign is not stated anywhere on the site.
This is Metal-Labels' analysis based on available roster and activity data, not a claim made by the label itself.
Demo & Submission Information
Follow the label's stated process exactly: submit only by email to info@timetokill-records.com, in English, with links (not attachments) to an unreleased demo, plus full contact details, links to your website/social/streaming profiles, a band biography, and any press or touring history. They state they only reply if interested, and the site does not mention any geographic restriction, so it's worth checking directly whether they consider bands outside Italy/Europe before submitting.
