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.

Prayer
The Seer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who are convinced they live under their own sun
So distant from the rest of the world
Self-satisfied it's enough to make you sick
Your prayer won't reach me Your prayer won't teach me how to live
What to take and what to give
If you get it in the neck better give in
Nothing is unbearable for you
No reason to doubt the things the old ones say
Your prayer won't reach me Your prayer won't teach me how to live
What to take and what to give
What to take and what to give
What to take and what to give
Your prayer
Your prayer
Your prayer
Your prayer won't reach me
Your prayer won't teach me
Won't reach me
Won't teach me
The Seer's Song Prayer is a critique of those who are detached from society, disconnected from the problems of the world, and who believe they live under their own sun. The lyrics suggest that those living in isolation are self-satisfied, and their behavior is enough to make others feel ill. The prayer of the isolated ones won't teach nor reach the world. The song suggests that they have no idea about how to live, what to take or give. The people around them are struggling, yet the isolated ones brush off the pain and suffering of the world as nothing. The lyrics imply that the isolated ones have no basis for their beliefs as they haven't experienced the real world.
The song also highlights the importance of empathy and understanding in society. It implies that we cannot exist in a vacuum but must engage with the world and its problems. The song suggests that empathy and understanding are key elements that can enable people to serve others in the community. It suggests that faith alone without deeds is not enough; one must act to create change.
