Selfexile blend doom metal, stoner grooves, and death 'n' roll from Sokolov, creating a murky, riff-driven sound that swings between slow-motion devastation and swaggering heaviness. Their western Bohemian roots lend a gritty, industrial-town edge to their music.
Pittsburgh's Selfgod arrived in 2022 as a death metal act shaped by Pennsylvania's long history of no-nonsense extreme metal. Rooted in the straightforward brutality of the genre's classic era, they favor punishing riffs and a blunt, unadorned production aesthetic that suits Pittsburgh's steel-and-grime reputation. Still early in their trajectory, they represent a new generation of the city's death metal underground.
Selfhate play metalcore from Paris, channeling the genre's aggressive breakdowns and melodic passages from the French capital. Formed in 2019, they bring self-loathing intensity to the Parisian heavy scene.
Veliky Novgorod's SelfOut bring metalcore to one of Russia's most ancient cities since 2004. Over two decades from the birthplace of Russian democracy, they have maintained a commitment to emotionally driven heavy music.
