Seether have announced their eighth studio album, The Surface Seems So Far, arriving September 20th. The lead single “Judas Mind” can be streamed now.
The news comes just a day after Seether announced a co-headlining US tour with Skillet (get tickets here). The trek is set to kick off just prior to the release of the new album on September 17th in Asheville, North Carolina. In addition, Seether are also set to make festival appearances at Louder Than Life and Aftershock.
The first tease of the LP, “Judas Mind,” is a surging post-grunge track that juxtaposes muted, melodic verses with raging choruses. The clean and potent production is a credit to studio vet Matt Hyde (Deftones, Slayer), who engineered and mixed the album alongside Seether frontman Shaun Morgan, who served as producer.
“‘Judas Mind’ is a song about reaching an understanding that there are bad actors in our lives that are trying to force an outcome for us that we don’t see as our destiny,” stated Morgan. “It’s about rising up against people who have a vision for you that you don’t share.”
The Surface Seems So Far can be pre-ordered in multiple vinyl colorways, on CD, and digitally via Fantasy Records.
