Holding Onto Strings Better Left To Fray

Long way to Holding Onto Strings Better Left To Fray

The band Seether was formed in 1999 in the capital of the Republic of South Africa, Pretoria. Little gigs and clubs were step by step substituted by major events and tours with famous musicians, so with time the band became really well-known all over the world. It is worth mentioning that till 2002 the group was called Saron Gas, however in order to avoid analogies with the deadly gas sarin, which was invented during the Second World War, the rockers changed the name into familiar to music lovers nowadays Seether. The band simply conquered listeners with its heavy sound, which did not lack melodiousness though. It is quite tricky to find the place among all the other alternative rock and nu-metal bands, however Seether succeeded. Their records were called-for and never stayed on the shelves for long, while organizers of festivals invited Seether with pleasure. Thus, in 2011 the release of the group’s long-awaited album finally took place – for satisfaction of heavy rock lovers.

Seether’s fifth work

In 2009 in one of interviews, Seether announced that they had started working on their new long play. In spring of 2010 they froze the studio work and went on a tour, but in summer the musicians were back on the studio, full of strength and wishing to finish what they had begun. So, the release of Holding Onto Strings Better Left To Fray finally took place, and we can say with certainty that Seether again took the recording process seriously. The first track Fur Cue immediately gives to understand that the band’s signature style did not disappear at all: we got heavy sound with fast bass drum, low guitar tunes, aggressive bass-guitar and powerful vocals. However musicians are still close with a lyric mood: No Resolution and Here And Now are perfect examples of combination of melodiousness and energetic alternative rock. The fourth composition Country Song will probably become a great surprise for listeners: Seether managed to mix heavy rock with country motives. The result proved to be unusual and interesting. In general, in spite of anything, Holding Onto Strings Better Left To Fray is a unified whole, with fast and slow compositions, with aggression and lyrics. That is a very combination that made Seether so much loved by fans all over the world.
