Hopefully you’ve snapped out of the shock from the recently announced Slayer tour with Lamb Of God and Behemoth since I have another one to share with you. This one is a more Alternative Hard Rock in nature but still really solid stuff. I’m talking about none other than Seether who will be heading to many locations with Letters From The Fire and Kaleido as support. Read on.
The Press Release:
SEETHER ANNOUNCE U.S. TOUR DATES IN SUPPORT OF POISON THE PARISH – NEW ALBUM OUT MAY 12
Seether (Shaun Morgan — vocals/guitar, Dale Stewart — bass/vocals, and John Humphrey — drums) have revealed details for the Poison the Parish World Tour, which includes headline shows and major festival appearances throughout the spring and summer of 2017. The extensive touring plans come in support of Poison the Parish, their recently announced seventh studio album, set for release via Canine Riot Records on May 12, 2017.
Tickets go on sale Friday, March 3 at 10AM local time. Every ticket order will include a physical copy of Poison the Parish. Ticket and VIP package information can be found at here. 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, Rise Above Fest has expanded to two days, Saturday, July 22 and Sunday, July 23, 2017 at Darling’s Waterfront Park in Bangor, Maine. Performers include Korn, Shinedown, Stone Sour, Skillet, Halestorm, Falling in Reverse and more. For RAF tickets and information, visit Rise Above Fest.
Guitarist Clint Lowery of Sevendust will augment the band’s line-up throughout the upcoming trek, adding his signature axe-work to Seether’s new songs and deep repertoire.
Support acts for the tour include:
Letters From the Fire (May 2 through May 27; July 16 through August 20)
Through Fire (June 1 through June 7)
Kaleido (May 2 through June 10)
Big Story (from July 16 through August 20).
“Goddamn, it’s good to be back!,” says Morgan. “We spent the better part of a year writing and recording Poison the Parish, and now it’s time to get out there and play that fucker to the fans. We’ve been working on some upgrades to the production and the live sound, which includes welcoming our brother, Clint Lowery (from fucking Sevendust!) into the fold to help us thicken up that live sound experience.
“We want this tour to be exciting and different — a departure from what people expect from us, while retaining the qualities that make us unique, in order to entertain the fans. It’s going to be loud, heavy, old school Seether with a couple of twists thrown in to keep things exciting.”
Recorded at Blackbird Studio in Nashville, Tennessee, Poison the Parish marks the first album produced in its entirety by Morgan and is also the first release on Canine Riot Records, his new label imprint via Concord Records. The album’s epic lead single “Let You Down,” premiered last week; listen to it here. Watch the track’s beautifully shot, horror-inspired video here. Morgan captured Seether in what is surely one of the heaviest and most emotionally pure efforts of the band’s illustrious career. This is Seether at their very best — a gripping and self-assured affirmation of a quintessential hard rock band in peak form. Seether’s 2017 international tour dates will be announced soon.
Kaleido’s Christina Chriss Adds: “We’re very excited to be joining Seether’s Poison The Parish Tour this May & June. Our debut full length EXPERIENCE drops May 19th, and we’re looking forward to hitting the road with Seether, Letters From The Fire & Through Fire !!”

PiercingMetal Thoughts: I’ve only ever seen Seether once in concert but I really enjoyed that time and wish that this tour was hitting my immediate region. The bottom line is that this is a high recommendation from me because it also features some hot, but still slightly underground acts like Letters From The Fire and Kaleido – both of which I have seen and think are doing some top drawer stuff for their fans. They are both going to get the musical party started nice and early so please don’t miss out. Let me know what you readers think of this tour down in those comments below.
