Make Them Suffer is an Australian metalcore band from Perth, formed in 2008. 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. 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. 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.

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

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. The band signed to Rise Records internationally in January 2016. On 14 June 2016, they released a new track titled "Ether". On 19 August 2016, the band released a deluxe edition for Old Souls, which also included "Ether", and their Lord of Woe EP remastered.
