Canadian melodic death and groove metal outfit SELIAS have officially unveiled “Nine Lives,” the title track and second single from their forthcoming full-length album.
The single is a dark and driving melodic death metal track exploring dissociation, emotional numbness, and the gradual loss of identity. Built around heavy guitar work, harsh vocals, and melodic passages, it carries a strong sense of momentum while capturing the contrast between feeling disconnected and fighting to break free. At its core is a push-and-pull between aggression and vulnerability, culminating in the defiant command: “Cut the wire.”
NINE LIVES
“Nine Lives” is an upcoming album centered around self-reflection, emotion, and the different experiences that shape us. Each song brings its own unique feel and style, telling a story through the emotion behind the lyrics. Together, the album takes listeners on a journey through different sides of the human experience—exploring who we are, what we feel, and the moments that change us.
