FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – August 3, 2020 – Music trade publication Billboard has recognized SEETHER’s founding member/frontman/lyricist Shaun Morgan with the release of its latest hard rock charts, published August 1.

 

Morgan claims the #1 spot on the Hard Rock Songwriters Chart as well as the #2 spot on the Hard Rock Producers Chart as two new singles he penned and produced climb up the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart. “Dangerous” (released June 24) rises to the #10 placement (boosted by 1.9 million airplay audience impressions) while “Bruised And Bloodied” (released July 17) debuts in the #15 spot.

 

It’s the first time Morgan tops the Hard Rock Songwriters chart. Over a two-decade career, SEETHER has in total enjoyed six No. 1s—and 22 Top 10s—on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Songs chart as well as three leaders on the Hard Rock Albums chart.

 

Both “Dangerous” and “Bruised And Bloodied” are from SEETHER’s new album Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum (“If You Want Peace, Prepare For War”) — their first new album in three years — due August 28th2020 via Fantasy Records.

 

 

 

Early reviews have given unanimous praise for the album, saying:

 

“‘Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum’ displays a raw honesty and wealth of musicality that fuses its finer moments straight onto your DNA … SEETHER continue to craft beautifully tormented anthems tailored to disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed.”

—Metal Wani (8/10 overall score)

 

“This is possibly one of the best albums that 2020 will be able to deliver … balanced with great lyrics and an impressive sound.”

—Summa Inferno (5/5 flames)

 

“Even with the high praise received from their last album, Poison The Parish, they may have outdone themselves.”

—Screamer Magazine

 

Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum is SEETHER’s eighth studio album and was produced by Morgan and engineered and mixed by Matt Hyde (Deftones, AFI) in Nashville from December 2019 through January 2020. The album features 13 new tracks, a primal mix of euphoria and misery, undoubtedly some of the strongest material of SEETHER’s illustrious career.

 

The band is joined on the album by newest member, Corey Lowery (ex-guitarist/vocalist for Saint Asonia and Stuck Mojo), Morgan’s friend of 16 years, who also assistant-engineered the album. “Corey has a lot of experience and is an inspiring guitarist as well; he’s the older brother I’ve always wanted,” Morgan says. SEETHER’s rock-solid rhythm section is bassist and founding member Dale Stewart, and drummer John Humphrey (who joined in 2003).

 

Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum will be available in CD, vinyl and digital download formats. Pre-order it HERE  For special offers and exclusive merchandise, visit SEETHER’s online store HERE
