SEETHER SHARES “BRUISED AND BLOODIED” A NEW TRACK FROM SI VIS PACEM, PARA BELLUM

(“If You Want Peace, Prepare for War”)

First Album In Three Years From Multi-Platinum Selling Rock Band To Be Released August 28^th Via Fantasy Records

1^st Single “Dangerous” Makes Immediate Impact At Rock Radio

Multi-platinum selling band SEETHER rocked the music world in June announcing their highly anticipated return this summer with new album Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum (“If You Want Peace, Prepare For War”) due August 28^th, 2020 via Fantasy Records. Today, the quartet releases a brand-new track from the upcoming record — their first new album in three years — with the bold rager, “Bruised and Bloodied.”

“Bruised and Bloodied” is a strong representation of the dynamic push-pull on Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum with front man Shaun Morgan bringing his intimate singer-songwriter sensibility to the band’s heavy rock grooves.

“’Bruised and Bloodied’ is a mix of self-deprecation and rage, neatly wrapped up in a sexy groove with a big shiny pop bow on top,” says Morgan. “Essentially, it is a combination of shame and sadness delivered in a cheerful way, as I’ve always enjoyed juxtaposing jaded lyrics with a jubilant melody.”

Drawing on influences including the dark and raw honesty of grunge’s epic guitar attack and the South African underground punk and metal that Morgan (and bandmate Dale Stewart) grew up on, SEETHER’s sonic brew is unmistakable and timeless.

The album’s lead single, “Dangerous” is another standout that has had an impressive impact at rock radio since being released June 24^th. Already Top 10 at Active Rock radio in just three weeks, “Dangerous” has been the #1 most increased track at the format every week since its release.

Revolver called “Dangerous” a “biting, anthemic lead single” while Loudwire said, “SEETHER take a step back from the battering riffs and lean into an alt-metal direction in this catchy albeit despondent anthem.”

Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum is SEETHER’s eighth studio album and was produced by Morgan and engineered and mixed by Matt Hyde (Deftones, AFI) in Nashville from December 2019 through January 2020. The album features 13 new tracks, a primal mix of euphoria and misery, undoubtedly some of the strongest material of SEETHER’s illustrious career.

The band is joined on the album by newest member, Corey Lowery (ex-guitarist/vocalist for Saint Asonia and Stuck Mojo), Morgan’s friend of 16 years, who also assistant-engineered the album. “Corey has a lot of experience and is an inspiring guitarist as well; he’s the older brother I’ve always wanted,” Morgan says. SEETHER’s rock-solid rhythm section is bassist and founding member Dale Stewart, and drummer John Humphrey (who joined in 2003).
