Lead vocalist and guitarist Shaun Morgan is the band's longest serving member, bassist Dale Stewart joined shortly after formation while drummer John Humphrey joined them for the band's second album. Since 2018, the band has been employing second guitarist Corey Lowery. Several notable guitarists like Corey's brother Clint and Troy McLawhorn have toured or recorded with the band, however, Shaun has recorded most guitar parts for the band's records.

"I think the old record company used to pick songs that were far more radio-friendly and far more digestible by an audience [as singles]."
Welcome back.
"Both the band and patrons alike are sweaty and smiling like idiots from a show that broke expectations."
"Those people that ran those organisations got seen for the kind of people they were, got exposed for their less than stellar work ethic."
The South African rock outfit will head down in support of their new album 'Isolate And Medicate'
"I basically just felt pretty much alone" - Seether's Shaun Morgan.

South African metal outfit Seether took an extended 'break' in 2009 before coming back and recording their fifth, and most successful, studio album "Holding Onto Strings Better Left To Fray". After spending the better part of 2011 getting back on the road and touring for the album, Seether are set to head down to Australia early next year. Singer Shaun Morgan took some time out to chat with Kill Your Stereo about the upcoming tour, their return to Australia and his band's latest album.
