Sevendust History

Sevendust is an American heavy metal band that has been a notable name in the industry since the 1990s. Known for their high energy performances and unique sound, they have consistently drawn large crowds and created a strong and loyal fan base around the world.

Formed in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1994, the band comprises members Lajon Witherspoon, Clint Lowery, Vince Hornsby, Morgan Rose and John Connolly. Their journey began as "Crawlspace," but a name change was in order after a group with the same name threatened to sue. They decided upon "Sevendust," a name inspired by a popular pesticide brand and a reflection of their gritty, intense style of music.

Sevendust's live shows have always been a major part of their success. Known for their vigorous stage presence, their live performances are often described as intense and passionate. Each member of the band brings a different energy to the stage, and together, they create an unforgettable experience for their fans. The band has performed at some of the biggest concert venues globally, and their live shows are renowned for their energy and connection with the audience.

Throughout their career, Sevendust has released twelve studio albums and received a Grammy nomination. Their early success began with their self-titled debut album "Sevendust," which was released in 1997. But their breakthrough came with the third album, "Animosity," which debuted at number 28 on the Billboard 200. It was this album that secured their place as one of the most popular heavy metal bands in the USA.

Sevendust's concerts are characterized by hard-hitting performances blended with powerful guitar riffs, moving lyrics and a passion that engages the audience.

Sevendust has also been part of several high-profile music festivals, such as "Download Festival" in the UK and the "Soundwave Festival" in Australia, highlighting their international appeal.

In 2020, despite the challenges presented by the global pandemic, Sevendust didn't disappoint their fans. They hosted a live streaming event, "Sevendust: Live In Your Living Room,” where they performed their album "Animosity" in its entirety.
