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.

Wasteland
The Seer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The air is thick with the stench of decay
The walls are stained with blood
And the floors are flooded with waste
The acid rains will come, and wash away the blood
This nuclear winter will claim, the lives of those who still remain
A funeral dirge for humankind
Signs of life anew, show through the blackened soil
The cycle of death and rebirth begins again
The acid rains will come, and wash away the blood
This nuclear winter will claim, the lives of those who still remain
The Seer's song "Wasteland" speaks of a post-apocalyptic world where the environment has been destroyed by a nuclear winter. The song starts with the description of the silence in the streets, and the sour smell of something decaying. The walls are covered in blood, and the floors are flooded with waste. The whole environment seems to have been destroyed. The singer then narrates about the acid rain and how it will come to wash away the blood, and the nuclear winter will take away the remaining lives.
The song has a rather bleak and dark undertone. It suggests that humankind has destroyed the world they once knew and now there is nothing left to live for. However, the singer then talks about the cycle of life, how through the blackened soil, new signs of life are emerging, and that it is the cycle of death and rebirth that begins anew. It is almost like there is a glimmer of hope in the darkness.
Overall, the song is a powerful message about the consequences of human actions and how we must protect our environment before it is too late.
