Seether
Jul 11, 2011

In a career that's spanned nearly a decade, the power trio of Shaun Morgan, bassist Dale Stewart and drummer John Humphrey that is collectively known as Seether has toured the globe on the strength of five Gold and Platinum-selling albums: steadily growing a devoted fan base while continually pushing creative boundaries. Seether breaks new ground again with its fifth studio LP, Holding onto Strings Better Left to Fray released on May 17, 2011 which debuted #2 on the Billboard 200 in the U.S.
"Holding onto Strings Better Left to Fray" further expands on the dynamic musical growth curve heard on Seether's 2007 release, "Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces", while maintaining a sonic imprint that is undeniably Seether. Not only does Seether branch out stylistically on the album's first single, "Country Song" which blends a cheerful, aurally addictive hook with the band's signature searing guitar work, but the singer's striking new vocal approach is audible from the album's exhilarating lead track, "No Resolution."
Morgan explains, "On this album, I didn't scream very much, because that's not what I wanted to do. For some of the songs, the sentiment behind the lyric wasn't angry, therefore to sing it in an angry way didn't make any sense to me. The gritty stuff is easy to do, but it also feels really great to convey emotionally, through my voice, what I'm trying to say, instead of just being a one trick pony."
Their single "Country Song," is currently rising up the charts and the band is set to play on the main stage for the 2011 Rockstar Uproar Festival along with Avenged Sevenfold and Three Days Grace.
