Biography

(2005 – present)

Dark New Day is an American alternative metal band, that was formed in 2005 by Clint Lowery from Sevendust, Brett Hesla from Virgos Merlot, Corey Lowery from Stereomud and Stuck Mojo, Troy McLawhorn from Doubledrive and Will Hunt of Skrape and Evanescence. The Lowery Brothers and McLawhorn were also in the band Still Rain together.

The band’s debut album was released on 14th of June, 2005, entitled Twelve Year Silence.

The single “Brother” ranked 7th on the US Mainstream Rock chart.

In 2008 Clint Lowery left the band to re-join Sevendust, and Troy McLawhorn departed to join Seether (he and Will Hunt have since joined Evanescence). The band added BC Kochmit from Switched on guitar for touring purposes and singer Brett Hestla would also take the task of rhythm guitarist.

In 2009 following unofficial word that Dark New Day had disbanded, Clint Lowery cleared the air informing fans that Warner Bros. had dropped Dark New Day from the record label and that the new tracks (recorded with producer Dave Bendeth) may never be release to the public. Part of the difficulty with the band releasing this material by their own means was that Warner Brothers owned the exclusive rights to some of the tracks.

Despite the complications with Warner Brothers, Dark New Day would eventually release their unreleased material in the Fall of 2011 (digitally, via iTunes) in the form of 2 compilation albums, both albums released simultaneously. The first of the two albums, Hail Mary featured the ‘Bendeth’ produced tracks, while the other B-Sides was comprised mainly of unrefined demo tracks.
