Description
Seether: Shaun Morgan (vocals, guitar); Dale Stewart (bass); Nick Oshiro (drums).
Recorded at NRG Recording Services, N. Hollywood, California and Larrabee Studios, Hollywood, California.
Additional personnel: Amy Lee .
A cursory listen to DISCLAIMER reveals a debt to such U.S. heavy rock bands as Papa Roach and Drowning Pool, no great shock since Seether producer Jay Baumgardner had previously worked with both of those bands. The surprising part is that this very American-sounding nu-metal band actually comes from South Africa. Their homeland is where the Dave Matthews Band comparisons abruptly end, though. Seether goes for the time-tested power-trio format that's served hard-hitting rock bands in good stead throughout the decades, from Mountain to Nirvana. Singer, songwriter, and guitarist Shaun Morgan is at the heart of the group's sound, his angst-ridden lyrics and emotive delivery occasionally suggesting the influence of the aforementioned Kurt Cobain-fronted band. Grunge flavoring to the contrary, though, this is a solidly contemporary band whose sheer sonic force puts them directly in the forefront of circa-2002 heavy rock. (Note: DISCLAIMER II features this debut, in addition to eight bonus tracks and a DVD.)
