Self-Mutilation is a brutal death and slam metal band from Mendoza, Argentina, that released their debut album "Horrendous Anomalies" in November 2019 through Grinder Cirujano Records, with international distribution handled by Sevared Records in the USA and Rapture Records in Brazil. The seven-track record placed the band within the tight-knit South American slamming brutal death scene.
Viennese atmospheric black metal project that emerged in 2020 with a self-titled three-track release spanning 22 minutes of immersive, layered compositions. Songs like "As I Am Falling From Inside" and the German-language closer "Das Ende" demonstrate a deeply introspective approach to the genre's expansive sonic palette.
Self Revolution is a UK-based Killswitch Engage tribute band formed in 2021, faithfully recreating the full legacy of one of metalcore's most influential acts by covering material spanning both the Howard Jones and Jesse Leach eras. Their live performances capture the intensity and melodic power that made Killswitch Engage a genre-defining force.
A shadowy Midwestern entity that emerged in 2017, Self Slaughter blend black and death metal in the raw, no-frills manner common to the American underground that operates entirely outside of metropolitan scenes. Their deliberately anonymous presentation — no fixed city listed, a no-frills Bandcamp — reflects a project more interested in creating suffocating extreme metal than building a public profile. The combination of black metal's atmospheric menace with death metal's brutality gives their music an especially oppressive quality.
Melodic death metal duo formed in 2012 in São Paulo by Jorge Oliveros (guitars, vocals) and Sergio Chaparro (drums), who relocated to Bogotá, Colombia in 2016 and composed the material that became their debut album. Across the Styx was released on December 1, 2022, recorded during 2020 and 2021 at Dark Angel Media Labs and produced, mixed, and mastered by Oscar Rangel.
Self-Hatred craft atmospheric death/doom metal from Pilsen, building vast, melancholic soundscapes that channel despair into towering compositions. Their music dwells in the space between crushing heaviness and sorrowful beauty, favoring emotional depth over mere aggression.
Self-Implosion deliver melodic death metal from Alicante, channeling the collapse their name describes through Scandinavian-influenced melodeath compositions. Active since 2012, they bring Mediterranean intensity to the genre.
