Sathern
Established in late 2006, Sathern finally took form after 3 years of relentless auditioning and various line-up changes that saw the band grow from a one-man project to a fully fledged band, incorporating the energy of fast drums, dual guitars and aggressive bass with the atmosphere of keyboards and a furious vocal attack.

Sathern probably had one goal in mind upon starting the band and that was to dominate. Their music is exceptionally well driven and they are most probably South Africa’s best melodic metal band to date. But just how well will Sathern fare in our Underground Kings competition?
Unfortunately due to the absence of vocals in their material that is available online, we aren’t able to rate them on that, thus costing them a couple of rating points. As for their music, it’s very hard to believe that this is a South African band! Their brilliant instrumental tracks undoubtedly makes up for any points that they have lost. With solid metal rhythm and astounding guitar work mixed in with fairly awesome drumming, Sathern proves that South Africa does indeed have decent metal-driven talent!
