Werewolf Records
Werewolf Records is a Finland-based black metal label run by Lauri "Werwolf" Penttilä, also known for his own long-running project Satanic Warmaster. Sources disagree on exactly when the label began: its own website reads "EST. 1998," while an encyclopedia entry describes Werwolf formally establishing the label as an independent venture in 2004, which may reflect an earlier operation later renamed. The label remains active, with several titles already dated 2026 from acts including Satanic Warmaster, Goatmoon, Vargrav, Grieve, and Chamber of Unlight.

Who Is This Label Likely to Fit?
An active, long-running underground black metal label best suited to accomplished/established black metal acts; it does not run an open digital submission process, so casual newcomer demo submissions are unlikely to get a response.
This is Metal-Labels' analysis based on available roster and activity data, not a claim made by the label itself.
Demo & Submission Information
There is no online demo submission form. The label's contact page discourages unsolicited digital signing inquiries and asks that only bands it considers exceptional send a physical promo by post to its Lappeenranta, Finland PO box; expect a response only if the label decides one is warranted, and within about a week if so.
Submission information last checked: August 2026
