Biography

Atlanta, Georgia (1994 – present)

Sevendust is an American / 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.

    I was personally floored by Black Out The Sun. The songs actually differ from one another.

    New album is solid, nothing particularly new but it's nice and chunky.

    New album makes a really good first impression song-wise. The only thing i particularly don't like is the production. Drums are terribly over compressed and make it very dull sounding overall.

    I love the 'Dust, but it seems like they've reached their peak . I had high hopes for the new album, and it just doesn't offer anything new. Oh well though. Not like I'll stop listening to them just because I am disappointed in the new album. Still the best live band out there.

    BOTS is probably the best album they've done with Clint. Yeah you read that correctly. Still prefer Alpha and Hope & Sorrow personally.

    BOTS is fucking killer! love it. The Dust have never steered me wrong, personally. On the first spin, i found it to have a few fillers but after the 2nd spin i'm finding myself enjoying the album as a whole. Fav track would have to be the title track and there's some great moments on this album. For example - The album opener, the thrashy verse in Till Death is really sweet and i really dig the chorus in Murder Bar. Also, for those of you who kept up to date with the making of the album clips, you all will know the intro riff of - Faithless, all too well ;)
