Seether Information Continued
Seether went on a non-stop touring route in hopes of boosting sales and name
recognition after Disclaimer was released. Upon completing the tour, the band had
planned to go into the studio and record their sophomore release. However, they were instead
tapped to support Evanescence on a worldwide tour that postponed their recording plans by
almost a year. On this tour, Seether reworked the acoustic ballad "Broken" into an
electric ballad and had Amy Lee of Evanescence share vocal duties with lead singer Shaun
Morgan during live performances. Inspired by the positive reaction the duet got on the road and
perhaps fueled by a budding romance between Lee and Morgan, the band headed into the
studio and quickly recorded an alternate version of "Broken" with Lee on vocals. The song,
along with a new song titled "Sold Me", was featured on the soundtrack for the 2004 film The
Punisher and was massively successful, bringing Seether fame in the US, the UK and
Australia in particular. Later in 2004, in an attempt to calm fans who were demanding a second
album, the band released Disclaimer II, an alternate version of the original album with
many of the songs remixed or re-recorded as well as eight extra tracks, two of which were the
tracks off The Punisher soundtrack.
