Swedish modern rock force Self Deception has unveiled their powerful new single “Break!,” which arrives just a few days before the release of their brand-new studio album One Of Us on May 15 via Napalm Records.
The song features heavy-hitting drums, strong riffs, and electronic influences, all topped with an irresistible sing-along chorus.
With previous hits like “Fight Fire With Gasoline” (2022), which has accumulated tens of millions of streams, Self Deception is set to continue establishing themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the international rock scene with this new offering.
Vocalist Andreas Clark comments on “Break!: “We all know that person.
The one who made chaos their comfort, who can’t feel love unless it hurts, ’cause pain’s the only proof it’s real.
One side writes poetry, the other lights the pages on fire.
Passionate but poisonous, begging for peace while starting wars, addicted to the drama, torn clean down the middle of who they are.” Self Deception is known for their fiery fusion of anthemic modern metal and powerful melodic rock, having shared stages with the likes of Electric Callboy, Danko Jones, and Adept since their 2009 debut.
Their new album One Of Us was written on the road during the heaviest touring of their career so far, and is a cohesive album full of character made for the stage – and the pit.
The band has a busy festival summer following the album’s release, so fans will get the first chance to experience these new tracks live at several major European rock and metal festivals.
With One Of Us, Self Deception is ready to push contemporary rock to the next level! The album will be available digitally and in several physical formats, with cover artwork created by Alex Tillbrook, who is well known for his work on the hit Netflix series “Stranger Things”, as well as for collaborations with artists such as Metallica, Blink-182, and Sleep Token.
Bone-crushing album-opener and title track “One Of Us” takes no prisoners, unleashing the heavy modern metal side of the Swedish powerhouse: fusing relentless hardcore energy, in-your-face lyrics, and high-voltage attitude, the track hits with unstoppable force.
