Seether is a South African rock band formed in Pretoria in 1999.
Seether has been described as post-grunge, alternative metal, hard rock, and alternative rock. Their early work has been characterized as nu metal.
The band is heavily influenced by American grunge, such as Nirvana and Alice in Chains. 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." Seether have also been influenced by Deftones and Nine Inch Nails. Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum, in particular, takes heavy influence from the bands A Perfect Circle and Deftones.
