Musical style and influences

[change | change source]

Seether has been described as post-grunge,[2] alternative metal,[3] hard rock,[4][5] and alternative rock.[6][7][8] Their early work has been characterized as nu metal.[9][10][11]

The band is heavily influenced by American grunge, such as Nirvana[12] and Alice in Chains.[12] AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote "Seether's lead singer/songwriter, Shaun Morgan, is an unabashed, unapologetic worshiper of Kurt Cobain, using Nirvana's sound as a template for Seether."[13] Seether have also been influenced by Deftones[12] and Nine Inch Nails.[12] Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum, in particular, takes heavy influence from the bands A Perfect Circle and Deftones.[14]
