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.

Man in the Mirror
The Seer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the days without a start
Weird hours that last eternities
All the one way streets
That lead to their beginning
To bring the same old stories back
The man in the mirror whispers my name
No one else will
The man in the mirror whispers my name
For your life no one else will
No one else will take the blame
We will jump over hills
We will break down the barriers
I'll take you on a long long ride
I'm the one you can count on
I'm the day and the night
I'll be with you on the other side
The man...
The man...
The Seer's song Man In The Mirror talks about life experiences that feel endless and never-ending. The lyrics describe the strange hours that feel like they last forever, the one-way streets that lead to the same old stories, and the days without a clear beginning, which eventually lead to the man in the mirror whispering the singer's name. The message conveyed in the song is that life can feel like a never-ending ride, but there is always someone you can count on, and that someone is yourself. The man in the mirror can be interpreted as a symbol of self-reflection, inner strength and grit. No one else can take responsibility and make the changes necessary to live a fulfilling life except for oneself.
The song also talks about breaking barriers, jumping over hills and taking the listener on a long ride. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for life's challenges where one must overcome obstacles, face fears and persist in the face of adversity to reach the other side. The Seer's message is that we should trust ourselves, for we have the strength and perseverance to overcome any obstacle, and no one else will take the blame or responsibility for our lives except for ourselves.
