Rock music stalwarts Seether are set to unleash their ninth studio album, “The Surface Seems So Far”, this fall, continuing their legacy as champions of raw emotion in a landscape dominated by fleeting trends and manufactured sounds.
Now the band has released their atmospheric new single “Illusion,” accompanied by a lyric video. Watch it below.
“‘Illusion’ is one of the highlights for me on this album,” shares bassist Dale Stewart. “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.”

Known for their enduring anthems like “Broken”, “Fake It” and “Words As Weapons”, Seether returns with “The Surface Seems So Far”, showcasing their trademark blend of aggression and introspection. The track list for the new album — the follow-up to 2020’s “Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum”, which boasted three No. 1 hits — sets the tone for 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.
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”, which Morgan produced with veteran producer Matt Hyde as engineer and mixer.

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 the SiriusXM Nashville studios by Pandora’s Director of Music Programming Chris Patyk.

Seether, known for their authentic and electrifying live show, will support the release of “The Surface Seems So Far” on the road this fall on a co-headlining tour with Skillet. The 18-date outing launches September 17 in Asheville and will travel across the U.S. stopping in such cities as Baltimore, Boston, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Kansas City, St. Louis, Houston, Dallas, Albuquerque, Denver, Omaha, and more before wrapping October 20 in Minneapolis. Seether is also set to perform at Louder Than Life and Aftershock festivals during the fall tour.
