Today, Sweden's modern metal frontrunners SELF DECEPTION dropped the new single "DON'T B E L O N G," ahead of their upcoming Napalm Records debut album One Of Us, out on May 15. With "DON'T B E L O N G," SELF DECEPTION showcase their range through a combination of hauntingly beautiful melodies, multi-faceted vocal performance, and a heavy rhythm section that drives this sentimental modern rock anthem.
The new track delivers a powerful message about breaking cycles, parting ways, and the importance of self-preservation.
Vocalist Andreas Clark comments:
"'DON'T B E L O N G' is deeply personal, reflecting my battle with addiction and mental health. It's a reminder of a darkness I never want to revisit. By turning my toughest times into music, I hope to connect with others facing similar struggles and let them know they are not carrying this alone."
Known for their fiery fusion of anthemic modern metal and powerful melodic rock, SELF DECEPTION have shared stages with the likes of Electric Callboy, Danko Jones, and Adept since their 2009 debut, while racking up millions of streams and video views - including their viral 2022 hit "Fight Fire With Gasoline," with tens of millions of streams. Written on the road during the heaviest touring of SELF DECEPTION's career so far, One Of Us is a cohesive album full of character, made for the stage - and the pit!
SELF DECEPTION about One Of Us:

"One Of Us is our new album, inspired by life on the road and the energy of the live stage. Touring so much has put us in a kind of 'live bubble,' and that feeling runs through the songwriting. The album revolves around outsidership and the desire to belong. On tour, we meet many lost and lonely people, all seeking a few hours of escape where they can disappear into a rock show. With One Of Us, we want everyone to feel part of something bigger, to feel like one of us."
