Spinefarm is a Finnish record label that was founded in 1990 by Riku Pääkkönen. Originally starting as a mailorder and distribution company for rock and metal releases, Spinefarm quickly expanded to release albums from Finnish metal bands. In 2002, Spinefarm became part of Universal Music when Universal Music Oy became the majority shareholder of Spin-Farm Oy, the record company that runs Spinefarm. In 2005, Universal bought the entire company and merged it with Universal Music Oy on December 31st, 2014.

Although founder Riku Pääkkönen left the company in 2011, he continued working on [l532289], a sub-label of Spinefarm. With two regional offices outside of Finland - Spinefarm UK in London and Spinefarm US in New York - they cover other territories through Caroline/Universal Music or local distribution partners.

Known for their expertise in distribution, Spinefarm has been credited under their name for various releases. With their rich history and strong ties to the metal music scene, Spinefarm remains an influential force within the industry.

Seether is a South African post-grunge/alternative metal band that was founded in 1999 in Pretoria under the name "Saron Gas". In 2002, they changed their name to Seether and have since become a prominent force in the rock music scene.

The band consists of *Shaun Morgan* on vocals and guitar, *Dale Stewart* on bass, *John Humphrey* on drums (since 2003), and *Corey Lowery* on guitar (since 2019). Together, they create a powerful sound that blends heavy riffs with emotional lyrics.

Influenced by bands like Crossfade, Shinedown, Staind, and Breaking Benjamin among others, Seether has developed their own unique style. Their music resonates with fans who appreciate raw emotion and hard-hitting melodies.

Let's be honest, most post-album EP releases are semi-lame attempts stuffed with B-sides, retreads and otherwise discarded tracks that weren't good enough to make the cut the first time. But Wasteland - The Purgatory EP, Seether's ravaging new 5-track monster happily turns that notion inside out, upside down and then rips its head off. Featuring three never-before-heard tracks and an alternate take of "Wasteland" (along with the original album version), this collection is proof that these new songs not only could have made the album the first time, one could argue they most certainly should have.Written and produced by Shaun Morgan, engineered by the band's newest member Corey Lowery and mixed once again by Matt Hyde, Wasteland - The Purgatory EP, follows the fall 2020 release of Seether's ninth album, the acclaimed, Si Vis Pacem Para Bellum ("If you want peace, prepare for war.") The album debuted with impressive chart success and has already spawned two rock radio hits, the anthemic, "Dangerous," and hard-hitting "Bruised and Bloodied."The 5-track Wasteland - The Purgatory EP, persuasively demonstrates Seether's under-appreciated dynamism and creative versatility. Seething with dark muscularity, the urgent "What Would You Do?" is a beautiful and cathartic baptism-by-fire get-down that never lets up. With Pixies' undertones and Beatle accents, "Will It Ever End?" is a startling, pandemic appropriate head-trip that like the voice in your head, goes to places unforeseen and unforgiven. And "Feast or Famine," the unholy progeny of AC/DC and Sabbath-era Ozzy - is a Killer, eat or be eaten elegy for the Trump years. The EP is bookended by two versions of "Wasteland," the original album track and a lovely new alternate version that features touches of piano and cello but still retains the original's tormented drive.Wasteland - The Purgatory EP is SEETHER, one of hard rock's most enduring and prolific bands, at the very top of their very productive game.
