Label Guide

A label account can manage multiple artist profiles under one login. Your label has its own profile page, catalogue showcase, and combined earnings dashboard showing revenue across your full roster. Artists can be linked to your label — their releases show “Released on [Label]” credits that link back to your label page.

From your label dashboard, go to Roster and click “Add artist”. You can link existing artist accounts or create new artist profiles managed under your label login. Linked artists appear on your label profile page and their releases appear in your label catalogue.

Yes. Choose a managed artist from your Roster and click “Manage releases” to act on their behalf, then open Promo codes in the dashboard nav. You can generate a batch of codes (one per outlet), seed press and reviewers with advance copies before a release is public, and track who redeems each code. Codes bypass payment and never count as sales.

Yes. If a 0% free listing tier has been extended to your label — by invitation, at the platform's discretion — it applies to all releases across your roster. Your combined dashboard shows revenue for all artists with fees applied consistently.

Yes. From your label dashboard, find the artist and release and click “Create Drop Room”. You can author the room as the label — your posts appear with your label name and a label badge rather than an artist badge. This is useful for label showcases and multi-artist drops.

A Drop Room can be created for any release on your label catalogue. For new releases, it functions as described in the artist guide — countdown, live launch, archive. Labels can add editorial context: a label note pinned at the top of the room explaining the release's significance within your catalogue.

Yes. There is no limit on the number of active or scheduled rooms per label. Your label dashboard shows all rooms across your roster with their current status, scheduled times, and attendance counts.

A Vault can be created for any release in your label catalogue, regardless of how old it is. The Demand Counter is the core feature — fans signal demand for a repress publicly, and when your threshold is reached you receive a notification. For labels, this is a demand validation tool. Instead of committing to a pressing run and hoping it sells, you see live demand before you press.

A Vault is a celebration of a record, not a sales campaign. When creating or editing a Vault you can optionally switch on “Let fans signal they’d like this repressed” (off by default). When it’s on, a light “Want it back?” block appears in the Vault and fans can register interest.

This is deliberately non-committal. metal.club can’t know a record’s real-world availability, so the band or label decides whether to invite the signal — and whether to act on it. Demand is interest, never a guarantee or a pre-order.

Simply how many fans would like the record back. There’s no threshold to configure — you always see the running count on the Vault and in your dashboard, and you decide if and when a repress makes sense. Treat it as a temperature read, allowing for the fact that not everyone who signals will ultimately buy.

You bring the record back on your own terms. A repress is very often a new variant — a repress rarely re-runs the exact original pressing, to protect the editions existing owners hold, so colour, edition or pressing may differ. When you’re ready, the repress launches as its own Drop Room; the Vault stays as the record’s celebration and archive.

Every physical format on a release page shows its current status automatically:

• Available — no indicator, clean and uncluttered
• Low Stock: “X left” in red (triggers at your threshold)
• Sold Out: format dimmed, “Sold out” label
• Pre-order: for releases with a future date

You set the low-stock threshold per format when uploading the release or editing it later. The label dashboard shows stock levels across all roster releases in the Release Performance tab.

From your label dashboard, go to the relevant release in the Releases tab and edit the format stock count. This updates immediately on the release page and in any associated rooms. You can also set a new low-stock threshold at the same time.

Yes. Once you greenlight a repress from a Vault, pre-orders open immediately. Fans pay at the time of pre-order. You receive the funds (minus platform and processing fees) and fulfil shipping when the pressing arrives. The release page and Vault show “Pre-order” status with an estimated ship date if you provide one.
