Seether "Poison the Parish" Debuts High Amid Press Praise

SEETHER’S POISON THE PARISH DEBUTS AT #14
ON BILLBOARD ALBUM CHART

Lead Single “Let You Down” is #1 at Rock Radio For Second Consecutive Week

New Album Generating Rave Reviews

SEETHER’s new album Poison the Parish has blasted out of the gate, landing at #14 on Billboard’s Top 200 albums chart after selling more than 31,000 copies in the U.S. this past week.

The record also debuted at #8 on the Billboard Current Albums chart, which measures physical sales and digital downloads. Poison the Parish, the multi-platinum selling band’s seventh studio LP, was released on May 12, 2017 through frontman Shaun Morgan’s newly launched Canine Riot Records via Fantasy Records.

For the second consecutive week, lead single “Let You Down” is #1 at rock radio across the U.S. — it’s the thirteenth chart-topper of the band’s illustrious career.

Previously, the band shared “Stoke the Fire,” via Revolver, as well as “Nothing Left,” with an exclusive Q+A at Billboard, and “Count Me Out.”

Poison the Parish, recorded at Blackbird Studio in Nashville, Tennessee, marks the first album produced entirely by Morgan. Perhaps the heaviest and most expressive collection they’ve ever released, the album is earning their best notices in years.

“In a time when it’s easy to tune out all the monotonous rock, Seether’s Poison the Parish proves the South African outfit still grooves, crushes and rocks harder than all.” — Revolver

“A return to the darker and heavier style of music that Seether built their name upon.”— Alternative Press

“Heavier and more powerful than anything released in recent memory by the band, Poison the Parish brings the band back to their glory days.”— New Noise

“Poison the Parish is the kind of album that deserves to shoot to the forefront of pop culture. Seether are three real dudes, rocking real instruments, and writing real songs. This is just the poison we need out there. Drink it down.” — All Axess

“…a sonic journey unlike their contemporaries or their former selves.” — Cryptic Rock

Morgan’s recent in-depth and revealing profile at Psychology Today is also a must-read.

Seether (Shaun Morgan, vocals/guitar; Dale Stewart, bass/vocals; John Humphrey, drums) have embarked on the first leg of the Poison the Parish World Tour, which includes headline shows and festival appearances in North America and Europe.

Every ticket purchase comes with a physical copy of Poison the Parish. Additionally, a portion of all tickets sold for the Poison the Parish World Tour will benefit the Rise Above Fund, which is a subset of Suicide Awareness Voices of Education, the largest suicide prevention organization in the country, and the band’s partner on the Rise Above Fest.

Now in its fifth year, the Rise Above Fest has expanded to two days in 2017 — Saturday, July 22, and Sunday, July 23 at Darling’s Waterfront Park in Bangor, Maine. Performers include Seether, Korn, Shinedown, Stone Sour, Skillet, Halestorm, Falling in Reverse, and more.
