Make Them Suffer is an Australian metalcore band from Perth, formed in 2008.[1][2] They are currently signed to SharpTone Records. Their debut studio album, Neverbloom, peaked at No. 56 on the ARIA Album charts in June 2012, and showcased the band's earlier mix of metalcore, blackened death metal, and symphonic metal.[3] Its follow-up Old Souls debuted at No. 30 upon release in May 2015 and displayed the band beginning to transition from death/black metal to a more progressive metalcore sound.[4] After the band signed with Rise Records, the label released an expanded version of Old Souls in August 2016, containing their EP Lord of Woe (originally self-released in 2010) and a new track, "Ether". Despite the name, the band is not named after the Cannibal Corpse song of the same name.[5]

They self-released their debut EP, Lord of Woe, on 27 September 2010.[6] In February 2012, the group signed with Roadrunner Records and on 25 May that year released their debut studio album Neverbloom.[7]

They released a single entitled "Let Me In" on 12 May 2014. On 29 May 2015, Make Them Suffer released their second studio album entitled Old Souls.[8] The band signed to Rise Records internationally in January 2016.[9] On 14 June 2016, they released a new track titled "Ether".[10] On 19 August 2016, the band released a deluxe edition for Old Souls, which also included "Ether", and their Lord of Woe EP remastered.[11][12]

On 7 June 2017, the band released the single "Fireworks" and announced their third studio album, Worlds Apart, to be released on 28 July.[13] On 9 June, it was announced that Chris Arias-Real, Lachlan Monty, and Louisa Burton were no longer in the band.

On 24 July 2018, a new single "27" was released.[16][17] In September 2018, the band toured America with After the Burial and the Acacia Strain.[18] In December 2018, a North American tour with Kingdom of Giants, Chelsea Grin, and Born of Osiris was announced to take place in 2019.[19] On 7 June 2019, the band released a new single "Hollowed Heart".[20]

On 19 June 2020, the band released their fourth studio album How to Survive a Funeral, with the physical edition being released on 10 July 2020. The album had been originally slated to be released on 24 July 2020.[21] In 2021, keyboardist and clean vocalist Booka Nile took time away from the band during COVID-19 pandemic to appear on the eighth season of Married at First Sight.[22][23] On 25 June 2021, the band released a new single "Contraband", featuring Courtney LaPlante of Spiritbox.[24]

On 24 February 2022, the band announced via their Twitter that Booka Nile was no longer a member of the band. On 13 October, the band announced Alex Reade from Drown This City as their new keyboardist, and they have released their first song with Reade, "Doomswitch".[25] On 8 March 2023, in celebration of its 10th anniversary, the band released a remastered version of their debut album Neverbloom, and announced an Australian anniversary tour with Fit for an Autopsy and Ocean Sleeper which would take place in May and June.[26][27][28]

On 11 May 2023, Make Them Suffer announced that they had signed with SharpTone Records, aligning with Greyscale Records, and they released a new single "Ghost of Me" along with a corresponding music video.[29] On 9 April 2024, the band unveiled another single "Epitaph" and an accompanying music video.[30] On August 8, 2024, another single was released called "Oscillator" and a self-titled album was announced soon after and includes their previously released singles from "Doomswitch" onwards.[31]
