Self Immolation

About

Self Immolation was an independent record label active during the early-to-mid 1980s, primarily focused on releasing experimental and industrial music on vinyl. The label's catalog centered heavily on the prolific output of Foetus and related projects, including work under aliases such as Foetusunderglass and Phillip And His Foetus Vibrations. Between 1981 and 1985, Self Immolation issued four LP releases that showcased the confrontational and avant-garde aesthetic characteristic of the early industrial underground. The label's artist roster and release strategy reflected the DIY ethos and provocative approach of experimental music during this period. While limited documentation exists regarding the label's specific geographic base or founding details, Self Immolation's catalog demonstrates its significance as a platform for uncompromising, boundary-pushing work within the broader industrial and experimental music community. The label's emphasis on vinyl releases positioned it within the tangible, artifact-driven culture of underground music distribution in the pre-digital era.
