October 2025 — The extreme metal community is being called to rally behind one of its own. Serge Streltsov , founder and frontman of Selfgod (ex-Necrophagia), recently suffered a devastating apartment fire that destroyed nearly everything he owned. Serge made it out alive, but his home and possessions—including his music gear, personal memorabilia, and lifelong collection of horror and metal treasures—were lost to smoke, fire, and water damage.

A GoFundMe has been launched by his girlfriend, Sara, to help Serge recover from the loss and rebuild his life. Every dollar donated goes directly toward essentials, cleaning, and recovery costs, giving him a foundation to move forward after this tragedy.

“Serge’s apartment caught fire while he was asleep less than ten feet from where the blaze started,” Sara wrote. “He escaped with nothing but a T-shirt, jeans, and socks. His home was declared a Major Fire Loss by the Red Cross. We’re taking it one step at a time, doing everything we can to move forward and rebuild some sense of normalcy.”

This tragedy comes just as Serge prepares to release Selfgod’s new album, Left Hand Pagan , dropping October 31, 2025 via Veles Records . The timing couldn’t be more bittersweet: an artist rising to new creative heights now faces the hardest fight of his life outside the studio.

Left Hand Pagan —produced, mixed, and mastered by Scott Elliot of Chernobyl Audio —is a brutal and ritualistic slab of black/death metal that captures the essence of struggle, transformation, and spiritual rebellion. The album stands as proof of Serge’s unbreakable spirit and his devotion to the dark arts of extreme music.

For fans of Behemoth, Belphegor, and Hate , the record delivers relentless riffs, suffocating atmosphere, and an intensity born from lived pain and perseverance. Pre-ordering the album directly supports Serge as he rebuilds, both personally and creatively.

This is a time for the global metal community to step up and show that we take care of our own. Whether it’s a donation, a share, or grabbing a pre-order, every bit helps .
