Toronto-based melodic death and groove metal band SELIAS return with a new chapter in their story, unveiling their new single and official video “Bastard.”
With “Bastard,” SELIAS confront the darker side of psychological trauma, channeling anger, despair and inner collapse into a relentless track about struggling to reclaim your identity from the damage left behind.
The song captures the feeling of being trapped beneath emotional weight, while its aggressive riffs, groove-driven rhythms and powerful vocals reflect the tension between breaking down and fighting back.
About SELIAS
SELIAS is a Canadian melodic death and groove metal band founded in 2021. Combining crushing riffs, groove-driven rhythms, and powerful vocals, the band has developed a distinctive modern metal sound. Following their debut album HEADSHOT and 2025’s follow-up KILLKARMA, which reached 17th on the Metal Contraband radio charts, SELIAS returns with their highly anticipated third album, Nine Lives. The album pushes the band’s sound further, blending melody, atmosphere, and heaviness. Nine Lives introduces a heavier sound overall for the band, but staying true to the roots of the sound. Known for high-energy live performances, SELIAS has toured extensively across Canada and the United States over the past few years, building a growing international audience.
