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.

The Seer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The curse of immortality, makes these depths seem boundless
Timeless tides flow over me, as I lay below the surface
Soon the world will forget me, but still I wait
I await redemption, release from my grave
My resting place, my sanctuary, alone I watch the ages pass
Biding my time until mankind has died
I await redemption, release from my grave
The endless ocean above me, maintains the constant silence
My time will come again, when I will rise
I have transcended mortality, I have abandoned morality
The waves roll over me eternally, for I will find no peace
I await redemption, release from my grave
In "Timeless," the lyrics convey the perspective of a being who has been cursed with immortality, causing them to view their existence as an endless, torturous state of insanity. The perpetual winds of eternity drive the singer to the point of madness, as they lay beneath the surface, forgotten by the world above. They long for redemption and release from their grave, their resting place, which has become their sanctuary in solitude.
The singer patiently waits for mankind to perish, anticipating the moment when they will once again claim ownership over the earth. The constant silence of the endless ocean above them reflects the isolation and emptiness they feel in their immortal state. They believe they have transcended mortality and discarded morality, no longer bound by the constraints of humanity. However, despite their elevated status, they find no peace as the waves of time continue to roll over them endlessly.
