"Bruised and Bloodied" is a song by South African rock band Seether. It was their second single off of their album Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum . It topped the Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs chart in 2021.
The song was originally released as a promotional song in July 2020, ahead of the release of the band's eighth studio album Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum . It was later released as the second single from Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum. [3] In May 2021, the song topped the Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs chart, the second single in a row to do so, following their prior single, "Dangerous". [3] "Bruised and Bloodied" later topped the chart for a second non-consecutive week as well. [4]
The band released a music video in January 2021; the band found the shooting of the video cathartic, as it was the first time they had been together in the same room with their instruments for a long time due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [5] The band also recorded and released an acoustic version of the song in April 2021. [6] [5]
Both frontman Shaun Morgan and music publications noted that the song juxtaposed dark, angry lyrics with a more upbeat sound. [7] [8] [2] Wall of Sound described the song as having "that raw edge of grungey rock we all kind of signify 90's rock" but with "a little bit of rock n roll groove...that kind of makes you want to rage amidst the gloom and doom in the world right now".
