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.

Fast Car
The Seer Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Down in the town the bars
Are full of drunks
I hear their laughter

Sit on a ragged bed
Flickering lights
Make me nervous

The nighttrain's passing by
And shakes the walls
Don't get used to this

I know the time has come
I know the time has come now

To take a fast car and then get away from here
To find my place in a promised land
I won't be a helpless fool who's tired and troubled
I won't dream my life away now
I'll be gone when tomorrow comes

I've tried to see the best to fool myself
To love what I hated

In this misty world of black and white
I am the grey

Overall Meaning

The Seer's "Fast Car" is a poignant and introspective song that reflects on the desire for escape and a better life. The opening lines paint a picture of a stereotypical small town, where the bars are full of drunks and laughter echoes through the streets. The following lines describe the singer's physical surroundings, sitting on a ragged bed in a flickering light that makes them nervous. The passing of a night train shakes the walls, emphasizing the instability and transience of the singer's existence.

However, instead of surrendering to a hopeless existence, the singer knows that the time has come to take action. The chorus is the heart of the song, with the singer announcing their intent to leave and find their place in a promised land. They refuse to be a helpless fool who is tired and troubled, leaving their dreams behind. While they have tried to see the best in their situation, they realize that they cannot continue to deceive themselves. Ultimately, they see themselves as the grey area in a misty world of black and white - neither good nor bad, but searching for something better.

One of the most interesting facts about "Fast Car" is that it was written and performed by Tracy Chapman, an American singer-songwriter who achieved widespread acclaim in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The song was her breakout hit, reaching the top 10 in multiple countries and earning her a Grammy nomination for Record of the Year. Chapman has since become an icon in the music industry, known for her powerful voice and socially conscious lyrics.

Down in the town the bars
The bars in the town are full of drunken people

Are full of drunks
There are a lot of people in the bars who are drunk

I hear their laughter
I can hear their laughter from where I am

Sit on a ragged bed
I am sitting on a bed that is old and worn out

Flickering lights
The lights are flickering, which is making me feel uneasy

Make me nervous
The flickering lights are making me feel anxious and worried

The nighttrain's passing by
A train is passing by outside

And shakes the walls
The train is causing the walls to shake

Don't get used to this
I don't want to get used to this uncomfortable and unsettling environment

I know the time has come
I realize that the time has come for me to make a change

I know the time has come now
I am aware that the time for change is now
