Zonaria is a melodic death metal band from Umeå, Sweden, formerly known as Seal Precious. The band is currently signed to Century Media Records.
Formed in 2001 by Simon Berglund, Christoffer Vikström, and Mikael Hammarberg, the band originally went under the name Seal Precious. Initially the band's style was power metal, with clean vocals. Several line-up changes prevented the band from recording, but after 2003, with the addition of second guitarist, Emil Nyström, and the band's name changed to Zonaria, they spent two years playing gigs in and around Umeå before recording and releasing, in 2005, what would be Evolution Overdose.
In the spring of 2006, Zonaria recorded the CD single "Rendered in Vain" (and later shot a video for it). After that, Zonaria toured outside of Sweden, opening for Finnish black metal band Impaled Nazarene on a European tour. In October, Zonaria announced they had signed a record deal with Swedmetal Records to release "Rendered in Vain"; later, the song was included in the video game The Darkness.

Swore to serve Evil in
The race against Man
By the will of justice
And this merciful God
The ascension to
The darkness is the
True path of human nature
Born lifeless then
Consumed by grace
To be the puppet on
The string of the damned
Command your forces
Descend upon the weak
Claim your victory
The Earth turns to dust
At war with the dead
Rape
Triumph
Justice
Will never be told
Love
Hate
The war turns cold
Lead me into the dark of night
And make my name last forever
Some things are
Better left untold
At war with the inferior
Strike down on the innocent
