Check out my backstage interview with Sevendust at Blaze Bash 2010 Sevendust is a hard rock band from Atlanta, Georgia. To date the band has released eight studio albums and sold millions of records worldwide. Their latest album Cold Day Memory was released in 2010 and is their most successful album to date. It all started back in 1997 when the band released their self titled debut, selling a mere 311 copies in its first week. But through contact touring and support from an independent record label, the album was eventually certified Gold. Their newfound success earned Sevendust a spot opening at Dynamo Open Air and Ozzfest 1998. Hype began to surround the act as they prepared to release their second album Home & Animosity in 1999. The album peaked at #19 on the Billboard 200 and earned the band yet more exposure on shows like Late Night With Conan O’Brien and a performance at Woodstock 1999. Over the next few years Sevendust toured with established acts like Korn, Godsmack, Creed, Kid Rock, Limp Bizkit, Disturbed and even metal gods Metallica. The band released their third album Animosity, which also went Gold. Sevendust even appeared on The David Letterman show, continuing their seemingly unending success. In 2004 however Sevendust went through a difficult time as a band. Clint Lowery, the band’s guitarist, announced that he was leaving the band. Sevendust continued without him, releasing the album Next to moderate success. Unfortunately, the band’s record label …

I met Lajon and Morgan at the BFD years ago back when Home came out. Really down to earth guys. Lajon was so nice and said I’m not his friend, but his brother and instead of shaking my hand he grasped it in a brotherly way. Morgan was on the phone with Rayna and he said to her, “i gotta go a fan is waiting to see me.” I asked him where Coal chamber was because they were supposed to play that show and he responded with, “Dez is a fucking dick.” LOL!

Clint took a liking to my stepmom at a concert and started throwin’ drum sticks at her after the show. She got none of them; shes a terrible catch.

sevendust is easily in my top 20 metal bands; great balance between heaviness and melody, great vocalist, great everything. and best of all, they have been together for so long making music together, so they are great guys and friends as well as great musicians. a shame they arent very well known

“Give me your most brutal, angry face.” They smile lol.
