Einheit Produktionen

Einheit Produktionen is a German independent record label founded in 2004 in Drebkau, a small town in the state of Brandenburg. It is a niche metal label whose roster is built around pagan metal, viking metal and folk metal, with a strong thematic emphasis on nature and pre-Christian or mythological subject matter. Black and death metal releases are handled through its sub-label, Black Blood Records. The label's name is borrowed from the local sports club SV Einheit Drebkau, which gave Einheit Produktionen permission to use it. According to the founder, the label's logo is not intended to carry any political meaning; the label describes itself as apolitical and states that it does not support political bands or organisations. Its disclaimer also makes clear that it is not responsible for the content of albums, cover artwork or external websites. Musically, Einheit Produktionen supports bands playing black, death, folk, pagan, Celtic, viking and dark metal, particularly acts with a strong affinity for nature. The label has nevertheless stated that it remains open to other metal styles, provided they present an intelligent image. Its best-known signings have appeared either on Einheit Produktionen itself or on Black Blood Records. As a small independent label, Einheit Produktionen operates primarily in the German and wider European underground metal scene, distributing physical releases and promoting its artists through the official Einheit Produktionen and Black Blood Records websites. Its catalogue is documented on public music databases such as Discogs.
