{"product_id":"seether-poison-the-parlp-ex-vinyl","title":"Seether - POISON THE PAR(LP\/EX ((Vinyl))","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the most enduring acts to come out of the post-grunge boom of the early 2000s, South Africa's Seether have managed to remain true to their Nirvana\/Soundgarden-loving roots while maintaining just enough forward-thinking momentum to stay relevant. Poison the Parish is the band's seventh studio long-player, and their first to be issued via frontman Shaun Morgan's label imprint Canine Riot Records -- he also handles all of the production duties. A much beefier affair than 2014's perfectly meaty but slick corporate Isolate and Medicate, the 12-track set -- there is also a deluxe edition that adds three more cuts -- is by far the group's heaviest outing to date, but Seether have always leaned harder on the alt-rock side of the post-grunge spectrum, so as per usual, all of that might is tempered by hooks aplenty. Opener \"Stoke the Fire\" does just what its title implies, delivering slow burn grooves and a circuitous lead melody that falls somewhere between Alice in Chains and Load-era Metallica. Follow-up \"Betray and Degrade\" fares even better on the earworm front, as does the stripped-down lead single \"Let You Down,\" but things start to bleed together as the LP reaches its mid-section, with competent, yet largely forgettable midtempo offerings like \"Against the Wall\" and \"Let Me Heal\" hitting the breaks on what was initially a pretty wild ride. Luckily, things pick up again with the punishing \"Nothing Left\" and the unabashedly Nevermind-esque \"Count Me Out\" -- the brooding, acoustic-led closer \"Sell My Soul\" gets by on mood alone. Poison the Parish doesn't deviate too far from the structural blueprints of prior outings, but it's hardly the work of a band just going through the motions. By attaining autonomy, Seether seems to have rediscovered their vitality. ~ James Christopher Monger\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Release Date: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57453877133656,"sku":"XW6739-RTR4-00","price":4.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/ateliervinyls.com\/products\/seether-poison-the-parlp-ex-vinyl","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
