Ngabe umhlaba ngabe uzwe izingoma eziculayo ezinethalente nezinhle ngendlela emangalisayo iBroken and Remedy ukube, eseyingane, uSean Morgan wayengawuthandanga umsebenzi weqembu lehlelo i-NIRVANA futhi wazinqumela ukuthi uzoba umculi opholile ofanayo?
Iphupho langena empilweni yomfana oneminyaka engu-12 ubudala futhi lamhola. USean wafunda ukudlala isiginci futhi wabaleka ekhaya ukuze anqobe umhlaba. Ngemva kweminyaka engu-21, lapho "i-arsenal" yebhendi yakhe ye-rock isivele inama-albhamu ambalwa "egolide" kanye "ne-platinum", wafaka inguqulo yekhava yengoma yeBhokisi Elibunjwe Ngenhliziyo ohlelweni lokusebenza.
Ukudala iqembu le-Seether
Indawo okwazalelwa kuyo leli qembu le-post-grunge rock yiPretoria (Ningizimu Afrika). Igama lokuqala nguSaron Gas. Ubani owayengacabanga ukuthi ezindaweni lapho izisusa ze-pop nezwe zaziyizintandokazi zezakhamuzi zendawo, kungase kuvele into efanayo, kodwa iqiniso lihlala likhona.
Uhlu lokuqala lweqembu lwaluhlanganisa: uSean Morgan, owaba umholi walo unomphela nomdlali ophambili, uDavid Koho (izigubhu), uTyrone Morris (oshaya ibhesi), uJohan Grayling (umshayi wesiginci).
Ngokusemthethweni, leli qembu lasungulwa ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ngaphambi kwenkulungwane yeminyaka - ngoMeyi 1999. Idethi ethokozisayo, ekuqaleni kwenkulungwane yeminyaka. Ingabe lesi sikhathi saba nomthelela emculweni nasekusungulweni kwabaculi? Akukwazanga ukuzibamba.
I-albhamu yokuqala yeqembu nempumelelo elandelayo
Njengamabhendi amaningi asemasha, iqembu iSaron Gas (kamuva iSeether) laqala ngokudlala emaphathini abafundi nentsha, kuma-nightclub. Kwenzeka kanjani ukuthi abafana baqaphele inkampani yendawo yokuqopha i-Musketeer Records akwaziwa, kodwa umphumela wokujwayelana kwaba yi-albhamu yokuqala ye-Fragile.
Isisho esithi "I-pancake yokuqala inezigaxa" ayizange isebenze. Ngokuphambene nalokho, kwabaqalayo i-albhamu iphumelele kakhulu. Izingoma ezimbili ezithi 69 Tea nethi Fine Again zishaye amashadi kazwelonke ngesikhathi esisodwa.
Phakathi nalesi sikhathi, ukuguqulwa kokuqala okuyingxenye kokuqanjwa kwenzeka eqenjini. UGreyling noMorris bahamba. Umdlali we-bass wathathelwa indawo uDale Stewart, ilungu elisha lebhendi. Iqembu le-Saron Gas laqala ukudlala njengabathathu.
Shintsha igama leqembu
Umculo osindayo, kodwa ngesikhathi esifanayo womculo we-rocker waluthwa futhi ungabadedeli abalaleli. Leli qembu labonwa kwelinye izwekazi. Ilebuli yaseMelika ethi Wind-Up Records inikeze leli qembu inkontileka ezuzisayo. Bekuyimpumelelo nethuba lekusasa!
Abafana, ngaphandle kokungabaza, bavumelana ngokushesha nazo zonke izimo, kuhlanganise nokuqamba kabusha iqembu. Abamele ilebula bathole igama lokuqala elithi Saron Gas livusa inkanuko kakhulu futhi linolaka. Yayihlotshaniswa negama legesi yobuthi yezempi, amaNazi ayesolwa ngokuyisebenzisa eMpini Yezwe II.
Ukusukela esandleni sakhe esilula leli qembu elaziwa ngokuthi i-Seether (igama laseBrithani elingasasetshenziswa lethuluzi elibilayo) akwaziwa. Umlando uthule kulokhu. Bathi abafana bagqugquzelwe ukuthi bathathe leli gama ngeqembu elilodwa laseMelika i-Veruca Salt enegama elifanayo elithi Seether.
Impilo yomphakathi kanye ne-albhamu entsha ka-Sizer
Impilo yokudala neyomuntu siqu yabaculi yathuthukiswa ngo-2002. Laba bafana bakhiphe i-EP futhi bakwazi ukuvela komunye wemikhosi emikhulu yaminyaka yonke yensimbi i-Ozzfest, base bevalwa estudiyo ukuze baqophe i-albhamu enzima yobude obugcwele ethi Disclaimer.
Umculi wesigubhu uDavid Koho ushiye iqembu, indawo yakhe yathathwa kafushane uJohn Freese kwase kuba nguNick Oshiro.
Ingoma encane yezingoma emsebenzini we-Seether
Ngemva kokuqopha i-albhamu, ibhendi yaqala ukuvakasha e-US unyaka wonke. Ngaso leso sikhathi, u-Sean Morgan wayethandana no-Amy Lee, umculi weqembu i-Evanescence. Laba bashadikazi bagcina bengahlukani.
Ngemuva kokuqeda ukuvakasha kwabo, abaculi bahambe nohambo oluhlanganyelwe no-Evanescence. Cishe akufanelekile ukukhuluma ngokuthi yini ebangele lesi sinyathelo.
I-Tandem ne-Evanescence nokuhlukana
Inyunyana yokudala nothando no-Amy Lee yondle futhi yamgcwalisa u-Sean. I-ballad Broken, abayenze njenge-duet, yafinyelela kwabangama-20 baseMelika futhi yazwakala kufilimu ethi The Punisher.
Ngaso leso sikhathi, abaculi bayilungise kahle i-albhamu yabo yokuqala ethi Disclaimer futhi bayikhipha kabusha ngo-2004 ngaphansi kwegama elithi Disclaimer II. Futhi impumelelo! I-albhamu yahamba nge-platinum, kodwa injabulo kulo mhlaba iyinyoni yesipoki.
Ibhendi ishiye uJohn Humphrey (izigubhu) noPat Callahan (isiginci). Ubuhlobo bukaSean no-Amy baphela ngokuhlukana, uSean wabe esezitika ngotshwala. Kwabe sekuba nomtholampilo wokuhlunyeleliswa kwezimilo, ukushona kabuhlungu komfowabo. U-frontman kaSeether wayenobunzima, kodwa akazange aphule.
Izinsuku zeviki zokudala zeqembu
I-albhamu ethi Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces, ekhishwe ngo-2007, yangena kwabayishumi abaphambili beBillboard kusukela ekuqaleni.
Entwasahlobo ka-2010, kwaba nohambo oluyimpumelelo olwaqhubeka kwaze kwaba sehlobo. Bese kuba nomsebenzi ojulile we-studio kanye nengoma entsha ehlanyayo i-Fur Cue, esekelwe isitayela seqembu, enye iculo elithi No Resolution, elizojabulisa abalandeli ekugcineni, ingoma ethi Country Song (inhlanganisela yezwe kanye nedwala elinolaka) khululiwe.
Umsindo we-Country Song awunawo nhlobo uhlobo lomsebenzi wangaphambilini ka-Seether, kodwa ingoma eyodwa isibe yingoma yeqembu eyaziwa kakhulu. Kubonakala sengathi lokhu akubakhathazi abaculi ngokwabo noma abalandeli babo abaningi.
USean unesiqiniseko sokuthi usenento azoyikhuluma emhlabeni. Abafana abesabi "ukudlala" nokuhlola umsindo, futhi kubonakala sengathi "isiqeshana" esisha se-hypnotic, esinobudlova futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo umculo kaMorgan onesigqi esijulile nesithambile awukude.
