2) sela was formed in early 2004 in Rotterdam, NLand started off experimenting with different sounds to eventually find it’s way in a mixture of grunge, metal and indie. To get a rough idea, their songs have been influenced by bands like At The Drive-in, Far, Sevendust, Green Lizard and Nirvana. The name sela has been extracted from the hebrew word 'selah' - the point of silence before the (musical) climax or explosion. It is commonly used in Christian songstructure.

Dimitri and Daniël met in 2003 with the desire to start a band together. After alongwayout ( Dimitri's band ) broke up, they decided to do some sessions. Bart, a former bandmate of Dimitri’s, was invited as well and he brought along Daniel Lakens to play bass. Soon Jeremy was added to the foursome to do the vocals, then after a couple of sessions, all band members decided to look out for new bassplayer. A former bandmate of Jeremy’s, Javier, took the job for two shows, but after that he decided to continue with some of his own projects.

Robert, a friend of Bart’s joined in for a session, and stayed in the position of bass player.
After a couple of succesfull shows, the band moved on without Jeremy and found a new vocalist in Erik.

In 2007 the band recorded a 3 song EP named A day in the flames with Nick Radich of Digitube recording studio.

Overall Meaning

Sela's song Agnus Dei is a beautiful and powerful worship song performed in Dutch. The song begins with the repeated line, "Lam van God," which translates to "Lamb of God." The following line, "dat de zonde der wereld draagt," means "who bears the sin of the world." The repetition of these lines emphasizes the centrality of Christ's sacrifice as the means of redemption for humanity.

The next lines, "Heer, ontferm U," translate to "Lord, have mercy." The plea for mercy acknowledges our need for salvation and the undeserved grace God has shown us through Christ's sacrifice. The repetition of this line underscores the desperation and humility we should feel as we approach God.
