Have you ever seen the small bubbles rising towards the surface of water just before it boils, or the darkness reflected in the rippling waves of the sea before the storm? Seethings means just that, and it describes the music perfectly. Seethings is the calm before the storm, the whisper before the scream, the tremor before the eruption.
Vocalist Lawrence, drummer Simon and guitarist Dennis started playing together in the fall of 1994 in various constellations. In the spring of 1995 they decided to make a stronger effort and put more time into their music. The name of the new band was Forcefeed, and they gigged extensively, finally cementing the right line-up. At the time their aggressive vocals, chugging guitar riffs and anger-laden lyrics put them firmly in the Nu-Metal genre.
It was when Lawrence landed the job as assistant engineer at producer Daniel Bergstrand’s (Meshuggah, Strapping Young Lad, Misery Loves Co.) Dugout Studio that the band got their first break. Their first real demo was recorded in Dugout Studios, and because Bergstrand liked their music he put down a lot of free time and energy on the recording, which resulted in an albumquality demo. Before Forcefeed had a chance to shop around for a deal a small Swedish label offered to release it as an EP. The band accepted, hoping that the exposure from the release might lead to a deal with another, bigger label. Unfortunately things didn’t work out as well as they had hoped, and it took a whole year before the EP made its way to the record stores. Problems with record labels is an all too often reaccuring theme in the music business, but sometimes it makes the band that much stronger.
By the time the EP was released the band had matured considerably and wanted to stretch the boundaries of their music. They withdrew for a year to gather strength and write new songs. During this time the band recruited a new guitarist and started walking down a new musical path. While the core of aggression remained from Forcefeed, melody and elegance had been introduced to a greater degree, and the decision was made to start afresh. On New Year’s Eve 2001 the new band was christened Seethings. The year 2001 has seen Seethings play several gigs, including a tour of Switzerland and France without the backing of a record label, write new songs and construct a web page. A full length album has also been recorded, with Daniel Bergstrand and Örjan Örnkloo of Misery Loves Co. fame. This album is ready to be revealed to the world. Prepare yourself for the calm before the storm...
