Selbst is an emerging force within the underground black metal scene, known for their intricate blend of aggression and atmosphere. Originating from Venezuela and later relocating to Chile, Selbst was formed by multi-instrumentalist and composer N, who has been the driving creative force behind the project. With a vision that encapsulates both the visceral and introspective aspects of black metal, Selbst's music resonates with themes of personal struggle, existential dread, and philosophical inquiry.

Since their inception, Selbst has consistently garnered attention for their expansive soundscapes and poignant lyrical content. Albums like "Relatos De Angustia" (2020) showcase the band's evolution, offering a more refined and dynamic approach to songwriting. Earlier releases such as the self-titled "Selbst" (2017) built the foundation with a rawer, more direct form of black metal, while the subsequent offerings like "Secular Compendium" demonstrated N's willingness to experiment and push genre boundaries. The project's atmospheric sensibilities and introspective journey is further explored through EPs like "The Depths of Selfishness" and "An Ominous Landscape". With each release, Selbst continues to cement their status as a formidable presence in the black metal domain, captivating audiences with their dark, melodic, and deeply emotional musical narratives.
