“Finally The Surface Seems So Far is out!” shares bassist Dale Stewart. “I feel this album is a big step forward for us, there’s a maturity to the music. It’s still very much Seether though. We’re really proud of the new record and I hope our fans enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it.”

The Surface Seems So Far is an unapologetically aggressive record that continues the band’s legacy as champions of raw emotion while showcasing their trademark blend of aggression and introspection. Produced by frontman and songwriter Shaun Morgan with veteran producer Matt Hyde (Deftones, Slayer) as engineer and mixer, the new album is an honest and exhilarating journey through themes of melancholy (‘Regret’), self-reflection (‘Same Mistakes’), and emotion (‘Dead on the Vine’), with catchy hooks and driving bombast emphasizing its many twists and turns. Songs like the chunky but atmospheric Illusion,” released as a focus track in August, and the pulsating ‘Lost All Control’ are massive additions to Seether’s impressive catalog. Morgan and his bandmates – Dale Stewart (bass), John Humphrey (drums), and Corey Lowery (guitar) – sound alternately confident and confessional, full of vitriol and vulnerability throughout The Surface Seems So Far, the follow-up to 2020’s Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum, which boasted three No. 1 hits. Track listing for The Surface Seems So Far is below.

Seether, known for their authentic and electrifying live show, is supporting The Surface Seems So Far on a co-headlining tour with Skillet that kicked off earlier this week.

With five gold and platinum albums and two dozen Billboard Rock Airplay Top 10 hits including 20 No. 1s at U.S. radio (including their anthems ‘Broken,’ ‘Fake It’ and ‘Words as Weapons’) throughout a career spanning over two decades, Seether is as vibrant and relevant as ever. Hailing from South Africa, Shaun Morgan proudly draws inspiration from his grunge and hard rock roots, crafting a unique sonic identity that propelled the band’s Gold-certified American debut and continues to resonate deeply with fans worldwide.
