Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum (Latin pronunciation: [siː wiːs ˈpaːkẽː ˈpara ˈbɛllũː]; English: "If You Want Peace, Prepare for War"[5]) is the eighth studio album by South African rock band Seether.

[7] In June 2019, John Humphrey revealed that recording had commenced for their upcoming eighth studio album, with frontman Shaun Morgan creating demos and sharing them with band members.

[9] Translating to "If You Want Peace, Prepare for War", the album features 13 new tracks, and was produced by Morgan himself in Nashville, Tennessee from December 2019 to January 2020.

[11] Morgan explained that the album's sound was influenced by late 1990s alternative rock, specifically A Perfect Circle and Deftones, which he had been listening to heavily in recent years.

[3] Morgan also aimed to move away from the standard "verse-pre-chorus-chorus" song structure commonly found in mainstream music.
