(press release) Wind-up Records announces the release of Karma And Effect, the new album from Seether, in stores May 24th, 2005. The first single, Remedy shipped to
radio this week and has already been added in heavy rotation to stations across the country. The video for the track, was directed by Dean Karr (Marilyn
Manson, Dave Matthews Band).
The Seether of 2005 is a far different beast than the Seether of 2002. And nowhere is that heard better than on their brand new album, Karma And Effect,
which showcases a band who retains the heaviness and searing emotion of their debut, while gelling into a more fluid and vibrant unit.
Since releasing their debut Disclaimer in fall of 2002, the band has worked relentlessly, playing nearly 300 shows in 2003 alone. All of their hard work was
rewarded as the album went gold, but when 2004 arrived they were ready for something different. The band was all set to cut their second album, when they
unexpectedly had a crossover hit single. Seether had re-recorded their ballad Broken as a duet between frontman Shaun Morgan and Amy Lee of
Evanescence for the soundtrack of the action film The Punisher, and the tune tore up the charts. As it climbed into the Billboard Top 10, the bands first album
was issued in a new, expanded version called Disclaimer II which became the first debut album to ever go gold twice. Suddenly, Seether was in demand all
over the world. They reluctantly scrapped their recording plans and toured Europe in the summer of 2004.
As overdue as they believed they were to get back into the studio before the success of Broken, Seether has a far superior album because of the delay. They
have experienced two gold records, four top 10 radio hits, toured the world together and shared the ups and downs of success. The results have evolved them
as a band and can be found both musically and lyrically on Karma And Effect.
