Seether was formed in Pretoria, South Africa, in 1999 under the name Saron Gas. The band, known for its post-grunge and alternative metal sound, changed its name to Seether in 2002 to avoid confusion with the lethal gas known for its use in World War I. This name change coincided with their first major label release to avoid potential cultural sensitivities and marketing issues as they entered the international market. Over the years, Seether has released several albums and achieved considerable success, including hits like “Broken,” “Remedy,” and “Fake It.” Their albums have garnered critical and commercial success, making them a staple on U.S. rock charts and securing them positions in the Billboard Top 200. The band has gone through several lineup changes throughout its career, impacting their sound and dynamics.
