RELIQA - Sariah (One-Take Vocal Playthrough)

[@caramel109]

Up until the recent Melbourne Periphery gig, I hadn’t heard of Reliqa. I haven’t gone a day without listening to them since; brilliant combination of melodic prog metal with a superb voice.

[@ishouldhelpthisguy]

One of the best voices, in my opinion, of today.

[@matthewatherton6537]

Monique's voice, lyrics, and phrasing are always so strong. Secrets of the Future is my album of the year so far.

[@mickness_81]

One of my favourite songs off the album. Love it.

[@fufumitgemuese]

Great technique and style. Reminds me of a young Anneke van Giersbergen.

[@Radiant-T]

This song gets played at least 5 times a day, its easily my favorite rn.

[@dtpfeiffer]

I love how you use all the vocal layers in the studio recordings to add depth and interest to your songs, but this was awesome to hear it stripped back. Mon sounds fantastic just like this also.

[@ChrisOfEarthOfficial-]

Absolutely fantastic. Chills everywhere. God I love this band and what they’re bringing to the metal scene.

[@pathfindersam1812]

This album shocked me, really. But my favourite song is "Cave" because of that insane groovy bridge at 2.00+ Monique (and guys), stay great as you are and brings us more of your talent!

[@Smiithrz]

Beautiful voice and unique arrangements that I could just listen to all day. Briliant album, had it on repeat since it dropped.

[@frog-pg9ji]

We need more of these 💖 mons vocals are just too good 🤩

[@Spoofgiraffe]

Top 3 favorite bands 100% ❤️ love the new album and can't wait for a tour!

[@MizuRino]

[@s_bee]

Outstanding! Saw you live last week, was above and beyond when I saw you last year. Had the best time! Loving the album 🤘🏼

[@pasupasu]

Gosh, I can't WAIT for you guys to visit Europe 🤩

[@ricardical]

This song has been irreplaceable for my somatic therapy, alongside other songs you've made. My therapist loves you all! haha

[@lukedownman2803]

I could hear Mon sing Sariah on an infinite loop and get goosebumps everytime.

Still one of my favs from the new album. Bloody love it.

[@KardavoxAcademy]

Damn this was fuckin masterful. I love how the vocal runs are pwerful, dominating, but also almost playful. 4:15 is a great example. 11/10 will listen again.

[@ReaverMoggy]

Sua voz é única e incrível, muito sucesso pra vocês, espero um dia ver uma apresentação de vocês aqui no Brasil ❤

[@ericstelle5892]

Thank you for this. This adds a whole new level for the element that you bring to the composition. Respect. On a side note, I'd love to see a Drumeo with Shannon or Brandon doing Killstar by himself just to appreciate their artistry.

[@ApacienciaNECESSARIAparaOgoogl]

[@Krobarg]

Great stuff. Thanks

[@levbuava]

♥♥♥

[@pzyche5889]

EDIT: Monique did an interview on Reliqa's instagram and talked about this song. She said Sariah was just a beautiful name with Hebrew roots she used as a placeholder to represent the women in her life, and the song is about embracing her inner femininity that she rejected for so long as a strength. Very beautiful! This is incredible. Would you care to share what inspired this song? Sariah is someone who is apparently from the Book of Mormon (per google) so I was curious if there was another origin for the name.

[@JPablo78000]

I was also curious about the woman in the lyrics. It may indeed be a song about Lehi, a prophet from the Book of Mormon, who was constantly getting revelations from God through dreams, and Sariah, his wife.

[@pzyche5889]

@@JPablo78000 Just edited my comment - Reliqa did an instagram reel explaining the meaning of the song. I put a summary above :)

[@sympathysong]

Do a one take for SPARK! 🔥🔥🔥

[@rlj6798]

🔥🔥

[@azidihaqeem7882]

Please come to Malaysia guys Just like muse and bmth

[@luiscapuci7583]

good morning!

[@srhatfield]

Great job! You have an awesome voice! I have a quick idea though... maybe put the lyrics on the screen in an artistic way around you.. there is plenty of wall space behind you to float them as you sing them.

[@matt79hz]

Would anyone like to buy one of Brandon's old Schecters ? I bought it yesterday it's just tripled in price ! 10fold in a year or 3. Haha jj thanks Brandon. Sick band !

[@errtik418]

Flawless ! That blink was a nice touch to show you were in total control 👍

[@adrien845]

[@mourningphoenix4235]
