Seether release a new single “Illusion”

As they prepare to release their ninth studio album “The Surface Seems So Far” next month, rock titans Seether have released their atmospheric new single “Illusion.” Press Here to listen and here to watch the lyrics video.

“Illusion” follows the album’s Top 10 rocksingle “Judas Mind,” which has quickly made an impact at radio where it’s currently #7 on both the Mediabase Active Rock chart and the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, as it targets another chart-topper for Seether. Press Here To listen to “Judas Mind” and watch the official music video.

‘Illusion’ is one of the highlights for me on this album. With its hypnotic opening riff chugging away like industrial machinery, the haunting melodies in the chorus and the all-out intensity of the bridge, I feel this song is a step forward for us whilst simultaneously being Seether through and through. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do.

Seether recently celebrated another impressive milestone in their decades-long career when Pandora awarded the band with a Billionaire Plaque, commemorating over 4 billion career streams on the platform. The band was surprised with the plaque at their Sirius XM Octane session in Nashville by Pandora’s Director of Music Programming Chris Patyk. Press Here to watch the live performance of “Judas Mind” from the Octane session.

Due out September 20th via Fantasy Records, “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. The 11-track collection, produced by frontman and songwriter Shaun Morgan with veteran producer Matt Hyde (Deftones, Slayer) as engineer and mixer, is an honest and exhilarating journey through themes of melancholy, self-reflection, and emotion, with catchy hooks and driving bombast emphasizing its many twists and turns. Adding 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. Press Here to pre-save/pre-order “The Surface Seems So Far”.

Seether will support the release of “The Surface Seems So Far” on the road this fall on an 18-date co-headlining tour with Skillet as well as festival appearances at Louder Than Life and Aftershock, bringing their authentic and electrifying live show across the U.S. See below for full list of upcoming tour dates.

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. 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 “The Surface Seems So Far”, which promises to captivate both loyal fans and newcomers alike with its blend of memorable hooks, driving rhythms, and unapologetic rock spirit.
