Request A ShowSeether supported their new album 'The Surface Seems So Far' on a co-headlining tour with Skillet.
Seether collaborated with Gavin Rossdale of Bush on a brand-new version of their song 'What Would You Do?'.
Poison the Parish was released through singer Shaun Morgan's brand new imprint, Canine Riot Records.
The band gained the attention of American record label Wind-Up Records, who suggested they change their name and signed them.
Their eighth studio album, 'Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum,' was released through Fantasy Records.
Seether originated in May 1999 in Pretoria, South Africa, initially performing under the name Saron Gas. The band’s debut album, “Fragile,” was released in October 2000 through Johannesburg-based independent label Musketeer Records. Despite the local music scene’s focus on pop and indigenous music, the band gained recognition, leading to an offer from the American record label Wind-up Records. Upon signing, they rebranded as Seether to avoid confusion with sarin gas. Shaun Morgan, the lead vocalist and guitarist, is the sole remaining founding member, with bassist Dale Stewart joining in January 2000 and drummer John Humphrey in 2003.
Seether achieved mainstream success in 2002 with their first official album, “Disclaimer,” which featured the US Active Rock number one single “Fine Again.” This success continued to build in 2004 with “Broken,” a collaboration featuring Amy Lee of Evanescence, which peaked at number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100. The band has since accumulated multiple number one hits on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, including “Remedy,” “Fake It,” and “Country Song.” Their discography includes nine studio albums, with “The Surface Seems So Far” released in 2024, demonstrating their ongoing presence and evolution in the rock landscape.
Throughout their career, Seether has toured extensively both independently and in support of other prominent bands such as Staind, Three Days Grace, and Nickelback. Key album releases like “Karma and Effect” (2005) and “Holding Onto Strings Better Left to Fray” (2011) have consistently performed well on charts, with the latter reaching number 2 on the US Billboard 200. The band has also diversified its musical output with various EPs and compilation albums, including “Seether: 2002-2013,” which brought together hits, unreleased material, and new tracks, highlighting their enduring impact and consistent musical output.
