Seether looks for 'Beauty' on late-year headlining run

South African rock group Seether heads out on the road this week to build steam behind the its new studio release, "Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces."

The alt-rockers, now Los Angeles-based, kick things off tomorrow night (11/6) in Tupelo, MS, the first of seven dates with alt-metal outfit Three Days Grace on hand for opening chores. The 29-city trek stretches to the middle of December and a Dec. 15 co-headlining show in suburban Dallas with Avenged Sevenfold. All dates are included below.

"Finding Beauty," which hit stores Oct. 23, is Seether's follow-up to 2005's "Karma and Effect." The band worked with well-known rock producer Howard Benson (My Chemical Romance, Daughtry) on the set.

"I love working with Howard Benson," Seether frontman Shaun Morgan said in the band's online biography. "He's amazing at what he does. It's the first time in my life that I allowed myself to trust a producer. In the past, we've had some that seemed to have an ulterior motive, whereas with Howard he'd tell me what his motive was at the outset. He's an honest guy from Philadelphia.

"When he takes the raw material away and he comes back with it and it's polished, I almost always think he's done an amazing job. Of course the songs start with me. But it's very much teamwork. And he can bring a song to a different place."
