Self Deception have dropped their new single, "Blood & Scars." Listen here.
"Blood & Scars" is a powerful up-tempo song with playful references to some of our most classic fairy tales depicting the battle between good and evil.
But behind this playful facade lies a deeper meaning, inspired by a war close to us in recent times. Being under attack and having to give everything to stay alive. A different and gripping narrative about the surreal and frightening reality that people face during war.
"Sometimes, you must become the wolf to conquer it."
Self Deception continues to surprise listeners with new songs of various character but in its own style. This is the fourth single of the year, and on October 25, the eagerly awaited album Destroy the Art will be released.
"Beautiful Disaster"
"Hysteria"
"Matthew McConaughey"

Self Deception Share "Beautiful Disaster" Video
Self Deception are dropping their latest single "Beautiful Disaster." This captivating track captures the essence of our cosmic insignificance, drawing inspiration from Carl Sagan's profound "The Pale Blue Dot" speech.
Watch the video below.
As vocalist Andreas Clark reflects, "'Beautiful Disaster' is a homage to Sagan's timeless wisdom, reminding us of our place in the vast universe. It's a testament to the struggles we face as mere specks in the grand scheme of things, yet finding solace and beauty amidst the chaos."
The single marks a significant departure in Self Deception sound, as they delve into experimental territory with producer Nicklas Eklund. Exploring an arena approach, the track promises to deliver a powerful auditory experience that resonates with listeners on a cosmic level.
Accompanying the release is a visually stunning music video, conceptualized by Pavel Trebukhin to further immerse audiences in the cosmic journey depicted in "Beautiful Disaster."
This release sets the stage for Self Deception's forthcoming album Destroy the Art, slated for release on October 25. The album promises to be a culmination of the band's artistic evolution, featuring their distinctive fusion of introspective lyrics and mesmerizing melodies. With their broad musical palette, Self Deception never fail to surprise listeners with their innovative and genre-defying sound, ensuring an unforgettable musical experience for fans old and new.

Self Deception Share "Hysteria"
Get ready to delve into the dark and twisted world of social media with Self Deception's new single "Hysteria."
Watch the video below.
Following the success of their hit single "Matthew McConaughey," Self Deception are back with a vengeance.
This time, they're shining a spotlight on society's insatiable appetite for instant gratification and validation through social media. "Hysteria" confronts the obsession with fame and recognition in a world where authenticity often takes a backseat.
"During a tour at a hotel breakfast, we saw a couple loading up a massive breakfast. They took tons of pictures, making it look like they were about to feast like kings. Then only nibble on half-an-egg and left. That's when the idea for the song was born," says the band's Andreas Clark.
But that's not all.
Fans can look forward to even more from Self Deception, as they announce their upcoming album Destroy the Art, set to drop later this year.
With "HYSTERIA" as a taste of what's to come, listeners can expect an album that challenges conventions and pushes boundaries.
Self Deception are also set to appear at Louder Than Life + Aftershock festivals later this year.
Stay tuned for more updates.
