There's a general problem with establishing the notability of independent record labels as the artists generally get much more press coverage than their labels. In some senses it would be nice to have a clear guideline for such things, as it would certainly benefit . The guideline there defines an important independent label as having "a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable". Indie Recordings is apparently the brainchild of the people behind Tabu Recordings, and if so I'd argue that they certainly fulfill the criterion of having being around for "more than a few years". The roster clearly contains some highly notable bands, in the shape of Enslaved (band)|Enslaved, Satyricon (band)|Satyricon, Gehenna (band)|Gehenna, God Seed, Keep of Kalessin and Borknagar; there are several others in there as well, which is beginning to look like a pretty heavyweight roster in heavy metal terms. They've apparently also recently signed Solefald (as reported http://www.metalunderground.com/news/details.cfm?newsid=44284 here and Sahg (as reported http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=119436 here. I note they are also releasing the Sarke album; the band is not yet notable (the album isn't out yet), but given they contain Nocturno Culto of Darkthrone fame and are playing Wacken Open Air, there will certainly be significant coverage. I appreciate the last is a  argument, but I'd be tempted to err towards '''Keep''' on the strength of the roster. Sources badly needed, obviously
