About
Seether are a South African rock band founded in 1999 in Pretoria, Gauteng. The band originally performed under the name Saron Gas until 2002 when they changed it to Seether to avoid confusion with the deadly nerve agent sarin gas. Lead vocalist and guitarist Shaun Morgan is the band's only remaining original member. Bassist Dale Stewart joined a year after formation, while drummer John Humphrey joined them for the band's second album. Since 2018, the band has been employing second guitarist Corey Lowery. Several notable guitarists such as Corey's brother Clint and Troy McLawhorn have toured or recorded with the band; however, Morgan has recorded most guitar parts for the band's records.
Seether gained mainstream popularity in 2002 with their US Active Rock number one single "Fine Again". Their success was sustained in 2004 with the single "Broken", which peaked at number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100. They have experienced continued success with many number one hits on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, such as "Remedy", "Fake It", "Country Song", "Tonight", "Words as Weapons", "Let You Down", "Dangerous", "Bruised and Bloodied", and "Wasteland". The band has released nine studio albums; their most recent, The Surface Seems So Far, was released in 2024.

Dale Stewart (né le 30 novembre 1979 à Irene en Afrique du Sud) est le bassiste du groupe de grunge Seether.
En 1999, il rencontre Shaun Morgan et David Cohoe avec qui il va former dans un premier temps le groupe Saron Gas, qui deviendra Seether en 2002. Jusqu'à Karma And Effect, album paru en 2005, la basse de Dale Stewart est restée assez secondaire au niveau sonore du fait de la présence imposante des guitares de Shaun Morgan et Pat Callahan (qui a d'ailleurs quitté le groupe en 2006). Mais sur l'album Finding Beauty In Negative Spaces d'octobre 2007, on entend nettement plus la basse qui possède un réel rôle mélodique comme sur des titres tels que « Fake It » ou « No Jesus Christ ». Cependant, Dale Stewart reste un bassiste très carré et ne s'aventure pas dans des arpèges compliqués, il préfère suivre les lignes de guitare de Shaun en gardant un rythme parfait.
Dale Stewart joue parfois de la guitare au sein de Seether, notamment dans le live acoustique One Cold Night enregistré en 2005, sur le titre Broken.
