Description:
Self Betrayal is a metal/hardcore band from O’Fallon, Illinois. After years of performing as Season of Evil, the band changed their style of music as well as their moniker. After learning other bands had stolen their ideas for band names (before they even thought of them!), they agreed on Self Betrayal.
Steve and Mark started the band as a two-piece in the summer of 1999. With Steve on vocals and Mark on guitar, they were in need of a bassist and a drummer, so the ads went up. For the next year they would go through a number of bassists and drummers, none lasting longer than a month.
In the fall of 2000, Steve met Brendan at a Goatwhore concert, and it was decided to add him as a second guitarist. By the summer of 2002 Mike had been added to the line-up as the bassist. Originally meant to be a temporary member, Mike decided to stay after playing with the band for a month.
By the summer of 2003, the band was tired of the poor responses to the ads they had posted for a drummer. So, some internal changes were to be made. Mike decided to move from bass to the drums and Brendan moved from guitar to bass, leaving Mark as the sole guitarist. Because of the changes, the band's style took on a new direction. Once this happened, the band realized it was necessary for a name change. A few names later they became Self Betrayal.
As Self Betrayal they have performed a number of shows with local bands such as Baine and Spire.
