During a career spanning more than 15 years,
Seether
in an unprecedented way has turned into the band of its generation and genre, but has failed to live up to its full potential so far. Formed in 1999 in
South African
Pretoria, the band has climbed the popularity ladder with its releases, and judging by their vehement diligence, they have plenty of spirit for renewal. This is further corroborated by the trio’s brand new album out on 30 June. The tour promoting the record brings them to Hungary at the end of this year.
Instead of a quick breakthrough and a subsequent speedy burnout, Seether has always believed in slow progress. This is how they gradually turned from a fresh-faced
post-grunge
ensemble into a respected and widely acclaimed act always striving for top quality. They are proud to carry on the heritage of
Nirvana
and the alt-rock of the ‘90s. With heavy, pleasantly scratchy guitar themes and often soulful and passionate melodies in its arsenal, the band has not disappointed with its releases until now: check out Disclaimer, their breakthrough album released in 2002 by the same label representing Creed or Drowning Pool, the hit Broken, recorded in 2004 with the singer of Evanescence, or Holding On To Strings Better Left To Fray, released three years ago, rising as far as no. 2 on the American album charts, and you’ll see. Their conscientious work ethics have paid off so far, proved by the almost five million records they’ve sold and their enthusiastic fan base, many members of which will hopefully show upon 5 December in
Dürer Kert
as well.
