Shaun Morgan is their vocalist, lead guitarist, and lyricist.
Dale Stewart is their bass player and does backup vocals.
Kevin Soffera is their percussionest. (drums)
Pat Callahan is their backup guitarist.
"My words will be here when I'm gone"... lyrics from one of their number one songs, "Sympathetic."
They originated in South Africa. They were extremely popular there, which is amazing because Africa is based mainly on a pop/rock culture.
They made their first debut in Africa with the song Fragile. It was one of the best selling titles of the year.
As they headed over to America, their smash hit was Disclaimer.
The group formed in 1999 and originally called themselves Saron Gas, but after finding out what it meant, they quickly changed their name to Seether.
Morgan's motivation for his lyrics came from his lack of acceptance growing up. He had a rough childhood while his parents were divorcing and his mother's family didn't like him because his father was English. His family also kept him from listening to rock, and kept him from dressing punk or rock. This made it all the more clear to him that he was meant to be a rock star. He frequently snuck out of the house and practiced with local bands. He came to the point where he decided that either he was to play his music, or not live to see other people live out the dream that he had. He picked up his guitar, and didn't look at the gun again.
Disclaimer (which was produced by Jay Baumgardner, who also was a producer for Papa Roach and Drowning Pool) offers a view of what life was like when he was growing up.
Morgan feels that his lyrics are just away to get out all of his pent up emotions that have been boiling inside of him since his bleek childhood.
Morgan is currently dating the lead singer of Evanescence, Amy Lee. No tellin if the other band members are hitched or not, so go for it while you can ladies!
Capturing Americas attention for the first time was when Seether went on the Ozzfest Tour, and by winning many people over with their sad, gloomy, and desperate lyrics that spin with a mad array of music. They're definately a band worth checking out.
