Saisei (pronounced "sʌɪse") (often stylized as Saisei 再生) is a Greek metalcore band from Athens, Greece. The band currently consists of Stathis Stathopoulos (lead vocals), Apostolis Diamantopoulos (lead vocals), Stamatis Zografos (Guitars, programming, samples, keyboards), Thanos Galanis (Guitars, programming, samples, keyboards), Nick Koudounas (bass), George Tountasakis (drums).^[1]. The band was formed in 2019 by Stamatis Zografos. The group is currently unsigned and has released 9 single tracks.

History

Formation and early releases (2019–2023)

Saisei was formed in the late 2019, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Stamatis Zografos wanted to create a music band that would symbolize the "second chance". The suggestion was that the collective pasts, regrets and mistakes, as well as the struggles, have shaped not only the members but the fans too, into the individuals they are today, and have therefore transform in their strenghts; a renewal that is continous and ongoing ^[2].

Soon enough, Apostolis Diamantopoulos (clean vocals) joined the group followed by the first drummer of the band at that time Dimitris Passas. Having diverse musical backgrounds within metal and rock music, especially with subgenres such as Thrash Metal & Death Metal, Stamatis Zografos and Dimitris Passas had a common interest in UK metalcore such as While She Sleeps, Bring Me The Horizon, Architects. Their name is taken from the believes and the reason that Stamatis Zografos created the band. The Japanese word saisei meaning “Rebirth” is composed of the kanji 再 (read sai) meaning “again; twice; second time” and 生 (read sei) meaning “life; birth.^[3]

After a couple auditions, Dionisis Hassos (scream vocals) joined the group along with Thanos Galanis (guitars) and in 2021 Saisei released their first single "Pray for Me" ^[4], which is a cover to the original track from Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar.

In 2022, Saisei releases "Sink in Sin" and after that Apostolis Diamantopoulos leaves temporarily the group. A few months later Stathis Stathopoulos (clean vocals) & Kostas Dimpalis (bass) joined the group. Together, Saisei releases 3 more singles, "Sink in Sin - Orchestral Version"^[5], "Hachiman"^[6] & "Kitnsugi"^[7] In 2022, Dimitris Passas, decides to leave the band due to the different needs and a year later, in 2023, Dionisis Hassos, decides due to personal reasons to leave the band. Saisei without him released the only single for that year "Tsukuyomi".

After Dionisis's leaving, Apostolis Diamantopoulos re-joins the band, this time as the scream vocalist of Saisei. In the same year, Kostas Stefanidis (drums) joins Saisei as a recording member. Together, started working on their debut album.^[8]

Saisei (2023–present)

On September of 2023, the band shared that they are going to release their debut album^[9] entitled "Saisei" featuring a track with Kellin Quinn of Sleeping With Sirens. On April 2024, the band released the first single track "Impetus"^[10] of their upcoming album. A track that mixes catchy melodies, heavy guitars, synths and breakdowns, creating a unique sonic landscape that will captivate metalcore fans, as well as those looking for a more contemporary dynamic musical experience. On May 2024, they released their second single track "F.M.L.T." that mixes nu-metal riffs with modern electronicore layers, treading on the current landmark heavy sound set by artists such as Bring Me The Horizon, Bad Omens etc. On June 2024, the band released their third single track "Saisei Goes Punk!" feauturing Kellin Quinn of Sleeping with Sirens.
