Seether
Saturday, September 21
Wind Creek Event Center
Rock music stalwarts Seether, known for their authentic and electrifying live show, are set to unleash their ninth studio album, The Surface Seems So Far, this September and will be hitting the road on a co-headlining tour with Skillet in its support. The 18-date fall outing stops locally in Bethlehem on Saturday, September 21 at Wind Creek Event Center. Tickets are on sale now; visit www.seether.com for details.
The Surface Seems So Far, due out September 20th via Fantasy Records, continues Seether’s legacy as champions of raw emotion in a landscape dominated by fleeting trends and manufactured sounds. The quartet recently introduced the unapologetically aggressive 11-track collection with the release of the blistering album opener “Judas Mind,” which is quickly impacting rock radio and rising up Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, currently in the Top 20.
Known for their enduring anthems like “Broken,” “Fake It” and “Words as Weapons,” Seether returns with The Surface Seems So Far, showcasing their trademark blend of aggression and introspection. The track list for the new album – the follow-up to 2020’s Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum, which boasted three No. 1 hits – sets the tone for an honest and exhilarating journey through themes of melancholy (“Regret”), self-reflection (“Same Mistakes”), and raw emotion (“Dead on the Vine”), with catchy hooks and driving bombast emphasizing its many twists and turns. Adding to Seether’s impressive catalog, frontman, guitarist and songwriter Shaun Morgan and his bandmates – Dale Stewart (bass), John Humphrey (drums), and Corey Lowery (guitar) – sound alternately confident and confessional, full of vitriol and vulnerability throughout The Surface Seems So Far, which Morgan produced with veteran producer Matt Hyde (Deftones, Slayer) as engineer and mixer.
With five gold and platinum albums and two dozen Billboard Rock Airplay Top 10 hits including 20 No. 1s at U.S. radio throughout a career spanning over two decades, Seether is as vibrant and relevant as ever. Hailing from South Africa, Shaun Morgan proudly draws inspiration from his grunge and hard rock roots, crafting a unique sonic identity that propelled the band’s Gold-certified American debut and continues to resonate deeply with fans worldwide. The rock quartet, who also founded the annual Rise Above Fest for nearly ten years to raise awareness for suicide prevention and mental illness, remains a beacon of integrity on The Surface Seems So Far, which promises to captivate both loyal fans and newcomers alike with its blend of memorable hooks, driving rhythms, and unapologetic rock spirit.
