"Bruised and Bloodied" is a song by South Africanrock bandSeether. It was their second single off of their albumSi Vis Pacem, Para Bellum. It topped theBillboardMainstream 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 albumSi Vis Pacem, Para Bellum. It was later released as the second single from their albumSi Vis Pacem, Para Bellum.[2] In May 2021, the song topped theBillboardMainstream Rock Songs chart, the second single in a row to do so, following their prior single, "Dangerous".[2] "Bruised and Bloodied" later topped the chart for a second non-consecutive week as well.[3]
The band released amusic 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 theCOVID-19 pandemic.[4] The band also recorded and released anacoustic version of the song in April 2021.[5][4]
Both frontmanShaun Morgan and music publications noted that the song juxtaposed dark, angry lyrics with a more upbeat sound.[6][7][1]Wall of Sound described the song as having "that raw edge ofgrungey rock we all kind of signify 90's rock" but with "a little bit ofrock n roll groove...that kind of makes you want to rage amidst the gloom and doom in the world right now".[1]
