Atlanta, Georgia (1994 – present)
Sevendust is an American alternative metal band from Atlanta, Georgia. The band was formed in 1994 by bassist Vince Hornsby, drummer Morgan Rose and guitarist John Connolly. After their first demo, lead vocalist Lajon Witherspoon and guitarist Clint Lowery joined the group. Following a few name changes, the members settled on the name Sevendust and released their self-titled debut, Sevendust, on April 15, 1997.
The self-titled debut sold 311 copies its first week. However, through touring, and Tvt support, the album gained charting success through Billboard and earned gold certification.
Bassist Vince Hornsby joined drummer Morgan Rose in 1994, in a band called Snake Nation. John Connolly, a drummer, left his current band and joined Snake Nation as a guitarist. They recorded their first demo. Not happy with vocals, however, Snake Nation spent a year searching for a new singer before finding Lajon Witherspoon. Six months passed, Clint Lowery joined the band and they renamed themselves Rumblefish.
Rumblefish was short-lived, however, because they found another band with the same name. They renamed themselves Crawlspace, and released My Ruin on the Mortal Kombat soundtrack album entitled More Kombat through TVT Records in 1996. Shortly after, another band named Crawlspace sent notice that they wanted $50,000 for the rights to their name. Rather than purchase the rights, the band members chose to rename themselves Sevendust.

Hope & Sorrow is up there as one of my favourite 7D albums with Animosity and Seasons. I think it's very underrated among fans, probably because it was more in the direction of an alternative rock sound and the one that it followed was possibly their heaviest (Alpha), so I guess I understand how it disappointed some fans.

I mean old Sevendust mainly is more straight-forward (especially Home, written and tracked in a month... debut they were finding their sound and experimenting) (Animosity was getting bigger sounding and trippier. Probably is one of my all-time favorite albums). I just think theres more detours on the last 2 records but i LIKE that they're venturing out and not just doing a chug-riff, slow build into super melodic soaring LJ chorus like they kind of were doing w/o Clint on Next and Alpha. It started getting redundant, the last 2 records are something different as will be the case on the next one. John told me Hope & Sorrow was a pain in the ass to write (I know it's a "Sonny" record) but I think it was actually one of their best to date and Cold Day Memory is strong all the way through too. Great comeback for Clint and if they do decide to call it a day after 1 more then I just hope they go all out on this last record... I will always love the band members and support their projects...

Old Sevendust was so much better. Animosity, Sevendust and Home are the best. [2] I agree with this to a certain extent but I enjoy the new music too, I just prefer the old 7D tunes.

Or how about this: just listen to 7D's awesome tunes, and stop the bitching. Pretty much all their albums are great, so feck off already.
