1. The Seer is a progressive death metal band from Newcastle. Present in The Seer's music are elements from many of the various subgenres within metal, with several songs containing orchestral arrangements as well.
The band was founded in 2006 by Ryan Huthnance (Mortal Sin, Kindred, Chrome Bison) as a solo project, with the intention of creating much more aurally complex and intense than that which he had played in previous bands. Over the course of 2006 and 2007, at least 20 songs were written for the debut album “Prologue”, of which 10 were chosen for the final tracklisting.
As is evident on “Prologue”, The Seer draws from a wealth of influences, from the raw energy of thrash and death metal, to the much more refined and grandiose elements of classical music. On top of the cacophony of blast-beats and growled vocals, extremely melodic and tasteful, yet still face-melting solos are also present to complete the package.
In 2008, the album was recorded, mixed and mastered at Ryan’s home studio “Emissary Studios”, but the final product was deemed to be unsatisfactory - and thus “Prologue” was re-recorded from late 2008 into early 2009. In mid-2009, Ryan was contacted through Myspace by Ben Rommell (ex-Grim Demise), who offered his services as a second guitarist. This offer was the catalyst for The Seer’s evolution into a live act. Enlisting the services of close friends Allan Swaffield (ex-SoulTremor, Chrome Bison) on bass, and Pete Downtong (Viral Millennium, ex-Kindred) on drums, the band was now complete.
With these new members, the songs changed to suit each new member's personal style, so 5 of the tracks from the original "Prologue" CD were chosen to be re-recorded yet again for an EP of the same title - resulting in them sounding bigger and better than ever.
After several local shows, the band chose to continue without Pete, and found a replacement in Luke Cook (Mortal Sin, ex-Killrazer, ex-Vaticide), who then chose to leave the band after only a few months. Ben was then replaced by Rohan Macdonald (ex-Soultremor), and Luke was replaced by Mark Van Tongeren (The Paradox Unseen)
With the “Prologue” EP only representing The Seer in it’s embryonic stages, and with all the band members being in their early to mid-20’s, the band can only go upwards from here. With a fully functional line-up and a completed EP, The Seer have their sights set on main support slots, and eventually, the world stage.

Away from Here
The Seer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On coal black ground
My eyes don't dare
To take a look around
Tryin' hard not
To slow down now
The tortuous path
I feel the presence of someone
Of something close to me
Then I hear the demons call
And I stumble and I fall
And I can't get away from here
They tear me over to their side
Where they're dancing in the light
And I can't get away from here
A dark moon hides
Behind the trees
The cold wind takes
Away my memories
A chill crawls deep
Under my skin
A sea of shades
I am sinking in
The Seer's song Away From Here has a hauntingly beautiful quality to it, with lyrics that paint a vivid picture of someone lost and vulnerable in a bleak landscape. The singer describes their naked feet on "coal black ground," a symbol of the desolate and barren environment around them. They are afraid to look around, to face the horror of what lies in this desolation. The path ahead of them is "tortuous," indicating that it is difficult and winding, with no clear way out.
As they move forward, the singer senses the presence of something or someone nearby, but it is not clear what this presence is. Suddenly, they hear the "demons call," and they stumble and fall. These demons seem to be a metaphor for the singer's inner demons or fears, which drag them down and make it impossible to escape from this desolate place.
The second half of the song describes the singer's experience of sinking into a "sea of shades," the cold wind taking away their memories. They are lost and alone, with no clear way out of this dark and haunting place.
Overall, the song speaks to anyone who has ever felt lost and alone, struggling to escape from the grip of their inner demons. It is a powerful and moving meditation on the human condition, and the struggle to survive in an often-cruel world.

My naked feet
I am without protection
On coal black ground
My surroundings are dark and gloomy
My eyes don't dare
I am afraid
To take a look around
My fear is overwhelming
Tryin' hard not
I am fighting with determination to
To slow down now
continue moving forward at all costs
The tortuous path
The journey I am on is difficult
Always the same somehow
I have been here before and nothing has changed
I feel the presence of someone
I sense the presence of an unknown being
Of something close to me
This being is near me
Then I hear the demons call
The evil within me is calling out
And I stumble and I fall
I am weakened and can no longer keep going
And I can't get away from here
I am trapped in this dark place
They tear me over to their side
The evil takes full control over me
Where they're dancing in the light
The evil takes pleasure in my fear and weakness
And I can't get away from here
I am still trapped and cannot escape
A dark moon hides
The world around me is dark and scary
Behind the trees
I am surrounded by danger
The cold wind takes
The environment is actively working against me
Away my memories
My past self seems to be disappearing
A chill crawls deep
I feel as if death is around the corner
Under my skin
The fear is consuming me from within
A sea of shades
I am surrounded by darkness and despair
I am sinking in
I am giving in to my fear and accepting defeat

I'm really thankful for coming across you last night. I felt it was time to really try and get training in my seer gift that people have repeatedly prophesied over me...the enemy has tried to make me feel isolated by it but it is a true gift and I have been praying lately for God to help me describe what I see..I am greatly moved by your knowledge and desire to help others. Thank you!!!

Awesome, cool, are there not that many seers? I'd really like to know. Wow, there's a lot to know. I am betting the reason seers have so many problems throughout their life in the natural and have had so many attacks is because the stupid enemy wanted to take their sight off of the spirit realm and keep their eyes on the natural....that makes sense.

I want Jesus so much...
I believe I fell away from the faith when I was younger and the bible said those who fall away can't be restored to repentance. I've tried to repent of grievous sins I committed and believe the Holy Spirit is not active in me due to lack of conviction and not sure if I'm "in Christ". I don't know if I have Jesus or if only the wrath of God is on me. I have tried desperately to get back to God the past 3 months and have gotten nowhere. I rejected the faith and left for awhile when I was younger. Then commited horrible habitual sins for 20 years without repenting. I don't feel I have the Holy Spirit and not sure if I ever truly did. I repented and turned away from my sins and have been going to church and praying but still feel strong condemnation every night for the past 3 months. I wish I could get a message from Jesus 😥
