Originally founded in spring 2004 Selaiah (at that time still known as "Nosgoth" -> they changed name because a band called "Nosgoth" already existed) they had their first very successful gig in Lohr after which they even had to sign some autographs.
Some other gigs followed, the biggest one was in Gemünden on the Up From The Ground Festival 2005 with Hypocrisy, Napalm Death, Unleashed, Ensiferum, Ektomorf, etc. ...
