South African rockers Seether are continuing to burn a trail of commercial success across the American charts and airwaves. Currently the trio has their first two singles from latest release, Holding Onto Strings Better Left to Fray, sitting comfortably in the Top 15 of the Active Rock charts. As things stand they are the only band to hold such an honor. The debut single “Country Song” racked up more weeks at No. 1 than any other release this year, with 11, and has also amassed more airplay than any other Active Rock hit in 2011. This achievement has been backed-up with latest release “Tonight” climbing into the number 14 position having been released four weeks ago.

“When we started hearing from our fans they wanted to see us back on UPROAR this year, we thought, last year was a blast so let’s do it again. The fans are crazy and the bands kick ass,” says Avenged Sevenfold frontman M. Shadows. “We’re spending the first half of summer playing some big European festivals so we’re going to be ready to get back home and play America’s top rock festival.”
Avenged Sevenfold, who recently headlined the 2011 Revolver Golden Gods, are featured in the new issue of Revolver which highlights this year’s awards show. Avenged Sevenfold won three of the four fan-voted awards they were nominated for. Buy the issue here.
