Rock fans across New England and beyond have reason to celebrate this fall as Seether, the internationally acclaimed South African rock band, gears up for the release of their ninth studio album, The Surface Seems So Far, on September 20th. The album’s lead single, “Judas Mind,” has already made waves on the charts, and the band has just released its highly anticipated music video.
The video for “Judas Mind,” directed by David Brodsky of My Good Eye Music Visuals, has quickly become a must-watch for rock enthusiasts, reflecting the raw energy and emotional depth that has become synonymous with Seether’s music. The single has rapidly climbed the charts, currently sitting at No. 7 on the Mediabase Active Rock chart and No. 8 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart. This success follows the band’s rich history of chart-topping hits, reinforcing their reputation as one of rock’s most enduring acts.
The Surface Seems So Far promises to be an unapologetically aggressive and introspective album, produced by Seether’s frontman Shaun Morgan and veteran producer Matt Hyde, known for his work with Deftones and Slayer. The 11-track collection is expected to take listeners on an emotional journey, with themes of melancholy, self-reflection, and raw emotion, all delivered through the band’s signature blend of aggression and melody. Fans can expect the same intensity that has defined Seether’s sound for over two decades, along with new layers of confessional lyrics and powerful instrumentals.
To support the release of The Surface Seems So Far, Seether will embark on an 18-date co-headlining tour with Skillet, bringing their electrifying live performance to cities across the United States. The tour kicks off on September 17th in Asheville, NC, with a highly anticipated stop in Boston, MA, on September 20th at the Roadrunner venue. The tour will also include appearances at major festivals such as Louder Than Life in Louisville, KY, and Aftershock Festival in Sacramento, CA.
With five gold and platinum albums and a legacy of over two dozen Billboard Rock Airplay Top 10 hits, including 20 No. 1 singles, Seether continues to resonate with audiences worldwide. Shaun Morgan, who proudly draws from his grunge and hard rock roots, leads the band in delivering a unique and powerful sonic experience that has captivated fans since their Gold-certified American debut.
Seether’s commitment to their craft and their advocacy for mental health awareness—most notably through their founding of the Rise Above Fest, which ran for nearly a decade to support suicide prevention—further solidifies their standing as a band that is both musically and socially significant.
Tickets for the upcoming tour are on sale now, and with anticipation building for both the tour and the album release, fans are encouraged to secure their spots early. More information on tour dates and ticket availability can be found on Seether’s official website, www.seether.com.
As New England gears up for the fall concert season, Seether’s stop in Boston is sure to be a highlight, offering fans a chance to experience their new music live, just days after the release of The Surface Seems So Far.
