“Skin stripping metal
from a band to watch in
2013, whose first album
sets an awesome pace
from start to finish.
Soul control is a
superb first track with
tension and release
in perfect balance,
underpinned by classic
riffage and sixth gear
vocals. Sure to be
treading biker festival
stages in the coming
months, all fans of 21st
century British heavy
rock are put on alert.
Excellent debut.”
KEITH AMES,
MUSICIAN’S UNION
PRESS
“Claiming to be the ‘next big
thing’ in British metal, this
debut album from The Self
Titled attempts to back these
bold words with very loud
metal. The influence of bands
like Pantera and Five Finger
Death Punch is obvious in the
muscular rawness that chugs
you into moments of pure
ecstacy (Soul Control), only
beaten in grandeur by the earsplitting guitar solos. These
Kent crusaders may not be
pushing metal to new heights,
but they head-butt their way
through this festival of riffs.”
Rebecca Rayner

PRESS
“Defaced is not
just a Rock album,
it’s an experience
of perfection with
everything in place
to keep you engaged
throughout all 10
tracks. The opening
track ‘Soul Control‘ and
2nd track ‘Twisted‘ set
the scene with monster
riffs and a fast pace
along with the great
tone and lead breaks. It
left me wanting a good
old mosh!”

“They, without a doubt, put
on one of the performances
of the day with their thumping
metal riffs and excellent sound
laying waste to what remained
of the venue. I certainly wasn’t
the only one talking about
how good these guys were
afterwards. ‘The Self-Titled’,
remember that name!”
REVIEW FROM

PRESS
BLOODSTOCK 2014-HEADLINE - NEW BLOOD
STAGE
“Highlight of the set for me was the track “Running Scared” a song which is clearly designed
to get an audience rocking out and which
achieved its purpose with some aplomb.”
“They concluded the New Blood festivities in
fine style and became another band on my ever
growing ‘must investigate further’ list.”
Get Your Rock Out
“I liked The Self Titled when
I first checked out their
stuff, so I’m really pleased
they’ve managed to continue
producing music of this
calibre. Powerful, emotional,
hard hitting and all the time
pushing to new levels, this is
looking like it’s going to be an
album which you simply won’t
be able to afford to miss.”

“It is a tremendous and not to say entirely welcome
surprise that with “Airlock” The Self Titled not only
walk it like they talked it, they have come up with
their best material to date.”
