This Alternative-Metal outfit was originally formed in Pretoria, SOUTH
AFRICA, in 1999, under the name of Saron Gas by singer+guitarist Shaun
Morgan and bass player Dale Stewart. The two recorded an album with occasional
drummer in their homeland and subsequently they were picked up by New
York's Wind-up Records; the band then bolstered its line-up by recruiting
lead guitarist Pat Callahan and drummer Kevin Soffera.
In the summer of 2002 Seether issued their American debut full-length
disc, "Disclaimer"; it cracked The Billboard Top 200 chart while
the first single, "Fine Again", peaked at #3 and #6 on The Mainstream
and The Modern Rock charts respectively. "Driven Under" entered
the top 20 on the same charts and the third single cut, "Gasoline",
made top 40 on the Active Rock list. The band spent most of 2003 on the
road playing nearly 300 shows; by the fall, Soffera was replaced by new
drummer, John Humphrey.
In early 2004 Seether with Amy Lee of Evanescence
contributed the song "Broken" to the soundtrack "The Punisher:
The Album", the magnificent ballad hit #4 on The Modern Rock Tracks,
peaked at #9 on The Mainstream Rock chart and smashed into the top 20
of The Billboard Hot 100. During this time the band released "Disclaimer
II", a repackaging of the breakthrough debut with 8 extra songs plus
a bonus DVD, the set rose to #53 on The Billboard Top 200 chart.
Seether long-awaited second album, "Karma And Effect", was released
in May 2005, it includes the smash single "Remedy" which hit
#1 on The Mainstream Rock chart and #5 on The Modern Rock Tracks; the
follow-up single, "Truth", peaked at #8 on the Active Rock chart
while the CD climbed into the top 10 of The Billboard 200 Sales chart.
The final single, "The Gift ", also grabbed a #8 spot on The
Hot Mainstream Rock chart.
In October 2007, the South African based band released "Finding
Beauty In Negative Spaces", their first studio record in two years.
The new album is the band's first work as a three-piece following the
departure of Pat Callahan in June 2006; the set features the Rock radio
smash "Fake It".
