They began recording this new album at the end of January with Pearl Jam and Bruce Springsteen producer, Brendan O'Brien. This new disc follows up their 2011 album, Holding Onto Strings Better Left To Fray. Seether front-man, Shaun Morgan told us that he can't wait for the new album to come out.

"This album I think is very focused, and I think it's very reminiscent of our early stuff, but also having touches of sort of the more melodic side, and I mean, I think there's gonna be some stuff on there that people are gonna be quite surprised by. So I'm really excited for people to hear it."
