Seediq Bale is ChthoniC's fourth studio album, and the first to receive full promotion and release outside of Asia. It was positively reviewed by several websites and magazines, and boosted them into several popular magazines such as Terrorizer, as well as onto the lineups for both Ozzfest and Wacken Open Air. The album featured session drummer Reno Kiilerich, formerly of Dimmu Borgir, and Sandee Chen Shan-Ni, a Taiwanese singer, on female backing vocals. The English language versions of the album fail to mention these members. The English language version includes three video tracks at the beginning of the disc: "Indigenous Laceration", "Quasi Putrefaction" and "Bloody Gaya Fulfilled".
