Seether is a post-grunge band, formed in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1999. It consist of Shaun Morgan,
Dale Stewart, John Humphrey and Troy McLawhorn. Seether got it’s start as Saron Gas in Johannesburg Africa. As Saron Gas, the band released its first album, Fragile on Musketeer Records, in 2000 in South Africa. Upon achieving success on the South African Singles Chart, Wind-up Records took an interest in Saron Gas and signed them to the label. The band was asked to change their name due to Saron Gas being a homophone of sarin gas, a deadly nerve agent discovered (but never used in war) by Nazi Germany during World War II. The band changed its name to Seether in honor of Veruca Salt’s song titled, "Seether". In 2002, they released their debut album, Disclaimer. "Fine Again," "Driven Under," and "Gasoline" were released as singles off the album . On May 24, 2005, Seether released their sophomore album, Karma and Effect. Upon release, the album debuted in the top 10 in many countries around the world and the first single "Remedy" held the top spot on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. On October 23, 2007, they released Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces. In support of the album, the band has toured with Three Days Grace, Finger Eleven, Breaking Benjamin, 3 Doors Down, Skillet, Red, Papa Roach, Flyleaf, Econoline Crush, Nickelback, and Staind. Three singles, "Fake It", "Rise Above This", and "Breakdown" have been released from the album with all three being top 10 singles, the former two reaching the top position on several Billboard charts.
