Biography

Positive, emo-tinged metal with a strong Christian subtext, Seemless is something of a Massachusetts metalcore supergroup. Formed in 2003 by singer and lyricist Jesse David Leach following his abrupt departure from the Boston-based metal act Killswitch Engage, Seemless adds guitarist Pete Cortese (also briefly in Killswitch Engage, as well as Medium and Overcast), bassist Jeff Fultz, and drummer Derek Kerswill (formerly of Shadows Fall, Medium, and, somewhat incongruously, the re-formed lineup of 1980s Christian metal act Stryper). Largely dropping the post-hardcore aspects of the members' previous bands, Seemless goes for a more traditional metal sound heavily influenced by both old-school metal of the Black Sabbath generation and grunge-era stars like Soundgarden and Alice in Chains, leavened by Leach's generally affirmative lyrical stance. Signing to the local alt-metal label Losing Face Records in 2004, the band released their self-titled debut later that year. Positive reviews and a growing live rep caused the larger indie Equal Vision Records to pick up Seemless and reissue their debut album in early 2005. The group's second album, What Have We Become, followed in the fall of 2006. ~ Stewart Mason, All Music Guide

Seemless was an American rock supergroup formed by ex-Shadows Fall drummer Derek Kerswill, ex-Killswitch Engage vocalist Jesse Leach, and ex-Overcast and ex -Killswitch Engage guitarist Pete Cortese.

Formed in 2002 following Leach's departure from Killswitch Engage, Seemless was signed to Equal Vision Records, and released their first self-titled LP. They toured extensively over the next year, quickly making a mark on the rock/metal scene with their mixture of soul and blues elements. After the release of their last album, What Have We Become, the band has toured with Nonpoint, Trivium, In Flames, Soil, Fu Manchu, Lacuna Coil, and several others.

Hiatus

In early 2009, Seemless announced that the band has gone on a hiatus. Derek Kerswill has joined Unearth, while Jeff Fultz and Pete Cortese have concentrated on their new band Bloodwitch. Jesse Leach has started several projects, including a new band called The Empire Shall Fall, and a new album recorded with Killswitch Engage guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz entitled Times Of Grace.

Breakup

On June 29, 2009, the band posted the following bulletin on their official MySpace page:

"Seemless has officially announced that they are parting ways.

Sources close to the band say that you can only keep beating a dead horse for so long before you finally realize "Hey dude....this horse is already dead!"

They will play their last and final show where it all started:

The Lucky Dog 89 Green St. Worcester, MA 01462

Saturday September 12th, 2009

Official line-up coming soon, with advance tickets on sale next week. Special guests, friends and family will be in the house so be sure to get tix early.

More info COMING SOON!

To all who supported and appreciated what Seemless did..... the collective 6 former and present members of the band can't thank you enough for all the memories."

—Seemless

The show was a great success, and Seemless has been on an indefinite hiatus since then.
