Promotion and release

After becoming independent, Set It Off started to release a bunch of singles, with the first being "Punching Bag" on March 24, 2023. [3] Another single, "Win Win", featuring Scene Queen was released on May 5, 2023 but it didn't made it to the album. [4] As time passed, the band kept releasing singles like "Fake Ass Friends" [5] and "Creating Monsters" [6] alongside a re-recording of their song "Wolf In Sheep's Clothing" from their album Duality without an album announcement on sight. [7]

Then, with the release of their new single "Rotten" on June 27, 2025, Set It Off announced their self-titled album. [8] Finally, the eight and last single of the album, "Pathological", was released a few weeks before the album, on October 17, 2025. [9]

While they made a lot of tours since their independence, only "The Self-titled Tour" was made to support the release of their self-titled album, with supporters Fame On Fire, Vana and The Pretty Wild. [10]

Kerrang! 4/5 [11]

Classic Rock 6/10

The album received mixed reviews from critics. Emma Wilkes from Kerrang! wrote "Arguably, Set It Off are at their best when their past and present converge. Their orchestral-tinged theatricality of yore has been put down and picked up again but embracing it all over again feels like a conscious celebration of their individuality." [11] In a more negative review, Ed Walton of Distorted Sound stated "If you do like this, then fair enough but to those who are a casual listener who dips in and out of any kind of music, this album is the musical equivalent of an opened, flat can of Monster that lost its taste quite some time ago." [1]
