Seether<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday, September 21<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wind Creek Event Center<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rock music stalwarts\u00a0Seether,\u00a0<\/strong>known for their authentic and electrifying live show, are set to unleash their ninth studio album,\u00a0The Surface Seems So Far<\/em><\/strong>, this September and will be hitting the road on a co-headlining tour with\u00a0Skillet<\/strong>\u00a0in its support. The\u00a018-date fall outing<\/strong>\u00a0stops locally in\u00a0Bethlehem\u00a0<\/strong>on\u00a0Saturday, September 21\u00a0<\/strong>at\u00a0Wind Creek Event Center.\u00a0<\/strong>Tickets are on sale now; visit\u00a0www.seether.com<\/a>\u00a0for details.<\/p>\n

The Surface Seems So Far,\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>due out\u00a0September 20th<\/sup>\u00a0<\/strong>via\u00a0Fantasy Records<\/strong>, continues\u00a0Seether\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0legacy as champions of raw emotion in a landscape dominated by fleeting trends and manufactured sounds. The quartet recently introduced the unapologetically aggressive\u00a011-track<\/strong>\u00a0collection\u00a0<\/strong>with the release of the blistering album opener\u00a0\u201c<\/strong>Judas Mind<\/strong><\/a>,\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0which is quickly impacting rock radio and rising up Billboard\u2019s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, currently in the Top 20.<\/p>\n

Known for their enduring anthems like\u00a0\u201cBroken,\u201d \u201cFake It\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0\u201cWords as Weapons,\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0Seether<\/strong>\u00a0returns with\u00a0The Surface Seems So Far<\/em><\/strong>,\u00a0<\/em>showcasing their trademark blend of aggression and introspection. The track list for the new album \u2013 the follow-up to 2020\u2019s\u00a0Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum<\/em>, which boasted\u00a0three No. 1 hits<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 sets the tone for an honest and exhilarating journey through themes of melancholy (“Regret”<\/strong>), self-reflection (“Same Mistakes”<\/strong>), and raw emotion (“Dead on the Vine”<\/strong>), with catchy hooks and driving bombast emphasizing its many twists and turns. Adding to Seether\u2019s impressive catalog, frontman, guitarist and songwriter\u00a0Shaun<\/strong>\u00a0Morgan\u00a0<\/strong>and his bandmates \u2013\u00a0Dale Stewart<\/strong>\u00a0(bass),\u00a0John Humphrey<\/strong>\u00a0(drums), and\u00a0Corey Lowery<\/strong>\u00a0(guitar) \u2013 sound alternately confident and confessional, full of vitriol and vulnerability throughout\u00a0The<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Surface Seems So Far<\/strong><\/em>, which\u00a0Morgan produced<\/strong>\u00a0with veteran producer\u00a0Matt Hyde<\/strong>\u00a0(Deftones, Slayer) as engineer and mixer.<\/p>\n

With five gold and platinum albums and two dozen\u00a0Billboard\u00a0<\/em>Rock Airplay Top 10 hits including 20 No. 1s at U.S. radio throughout a career spanning over two decades,\u00a0Seether<\/strong>\u00a0is as vibrant and relevant as ever. Hailing from South Africa,\u00a0Shaun Morgan<\/strong>\u00a0proudly draws inspiration from his grunge and hard rock roots, crafting a unique sonic identity that propelled the band\u2019s 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\u00a0The Surface Seems So Far<\/em><\/strong>, which promises to captivate both loyal fans and newcomers alike with its blend of memorable hooks, driving rhythms, and unapologetic rock spirit.<\/p>\n
