It’s hard to believe, but the post-grunge bands of the early-2000s are becoming, well, classic. Bands such as Seether have been making music for more than two decades at this point, and some even call their music “dad rock.” That’s depressing, but what’s not depressing is that Seether have announced a new album, “The Surface Seems So Far.”
Seether: New Album, ‘The Surface Seems So Far’
Shaun Morgan and Seether will release their ninth studio album, “The Surface Seems So Far,” this fall. In advance of the album, which will drop on Sept. 20 via Fantasy Records, Seether have also released the first single off the album, the heavy “Judas Mind.” A press release describes the new album as “unapologetically aggressive,” so expect some heavy-hitters.
“‘Judas Mind’ is a song about reaching an understanding that there are bad actors in our lives that are trying to force an outcome for us that we don’t see as our destiny,” Morgan said in a statement. “It’s about rising up against people who have a vision for you that you don’t share.” That’s a really good theme and something to which many people can relate. Who hasn’t felt, at some point in their life, like someone was trying to force their vision on them?
As for the rest of “The Surface Seems So Far,” which marks the band’s follow-up to 2020’s “Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum,” expect “an honest and exhilarating journey through themes of melancholy (“Regret”), self-reflection (“Same Mistakes”), and raw emotion (“Dead on the Vine”), with catchy hooks and driving bombast emphasizing its many twists and turns.” Band members “sound alternately confident and confessional, full of vitriol and vulnerability throughout The Surface Seems So Far, which Morgan produced with veteran producer Matt Hyde (Deftones, Slayer) as engineer and mixer.”
Seether will also take these new songs on the road this fall on a co-headlining tour with Skillet. The 18-date tour will set off Sept. 17 in Asheville and close out Oct. 20 in Minneapolis. Seether will also make appearances at Louder Than Life and Aftershock Festival this fall.
