Never really considered them a metal band honestly or cared to listen to them, but back in 2004 I had a friend who had an extra ticket so I went to go check em out live and...... They blew me the fuck away! I was very impressed seeing them 20 yrs ago. Their vocalist can WAIL onstage and has a very dynamic range in performance, total crowd control and stage presence, they KILLED it live so I give mad respect to this band even though its def not my cup of tea genre wise
Sevendust are one of the best bands to come out of the whole nu metal or alternative metal movement of the 90’s. Nearly every album they’ve put out has been good and this one’s no exception. I think that this new album is their best since Kill the Flaw.
This band rarely misses! This album is a huge step up from Blood & Stone a couple years back!
Messenger has one of the most powerful messages I have heard. Let The Devil Win is definitely written by Clint as it rings of his solo work. With his struggles with addiction it hits home as his expression (should hear him tell the story of him being detained in a Slovakia Prison that got him to get clean). I have seen them over 20 times and are my sons favorite band. Also the low growls are Morgan and the higher ones are usually Clint. Quick story about introducing them to a friend. He heard the Animosity album and said he sounded like he may have been in drum corps when younger. It was a compliment because no one really plays that way.
4 minutes into your video and, Wow! You guys REALLY breakdown 7D's music to a T. Great job so far... And as I continue to the end, it is perhaps the BEST video describing Sevendust I've seen. I'd like to add to anyone who hasn't seen this band live, their albums don't do justice to their live performances. They sound WAY heavier and way louder. Choreography among the guys is crazy to see how they don't miss a note. And let's not mention the most hardcore fans (as I am). Sevendust is a true gem of the genre. Thank you for this excellent depiction. Phenomenal job.
Sevendust fans should be happy with this album. Very consistent band. Their 14th release??
Great review, man really enjoying this as I enjoy everything they put out. By the second listen I was already singing some choruses.
This album is shaping up to be one of my favorites from Sevendust. Really riff-oriented. In some ways even riffier and better than Home. And the melodies are great, as usual. To me, this is a pretty original album. I can't really compare it to any other Sevendust record. It's its own experience and entity. The lyrics are some of the best as well.
To me, the reason I'm still a fan of 7D is because they are not sell outs. They keep writing according to their root sound which are LJ vocal, heavy tuned guitars, crazy morgan drums, bass, solos, growl, scream, backing vocals. They might sound radio friendly nowadays but still u can headbang to every track just like headbanging to their debut album (or previous album).
Thanks for this. Appreciate the in depth discussion. I'm a sucker for those softer ones you called mid tier though. Can't help it!
If you sample from all of their albums, you could absolutely make a death metal album. Especially between "alpha" and "black out the sun" . Best song ever is "murderbar"
When you talk about a locked in sound. You are definitely right. When Clint left they went heavy for 3-4 albums. So the melodic sound is definitely Clints influence. But yes, this album is not in the top 5. Blood and Stone was better. But I prefer the melodic sound. My top 5 in order.
I wonder if Korn is the only band with that Traditional distinct Nu - Metal sound to still keep that same sound almost 30 years later.
Your typical Sevendust album, like your comparison with CC, you can't expect much variation but it's always solid. I do love the first track though, really beautiful, then again I can listen to Lajon sing the phone book !😁
I love Sevendust. With them, Shinedown, Alter Bridge, Fire from the Gods, I have all of their albums from the first.
Hard to go wrong with Sevendust. It's so cool that they're still out there doing it and turning in great records. Agreed, I'd like to hear them spread their wings a bit, but they know how to write hooky riffs, big choruses, and you're never going to go wrong with Lajon's voice. They deserve to be a lot bigger than they are.
I remember when Sevendust first came out. And I kinda liked them at the time but at that time I was into so many other groups and into alot of heavier groups. I wasn't really into NuMetal much at all. But that being said I did however get into them in 2005 with their NEXT album. which I truly love and believe in my opinion it's one of their greatest albums to date. And since then it's been hit or miss with the later albums now. I will be definitely check ing this one out for a few listens before I decide to actually buy it. Over the past few years because of this fucked up government and the fucked up economy. I have to be more selective with my album buying nowadays.😔but I thank you guys for another great album review. Keep up the great work fellas and take care.🙂🤘🍺
Always had a soft spot for them. The first 3 records were bangers back in the day. Lajon is a beast of a singer. Id say Alpha is one of their heavier albums if you like the more metal side of em.
I've only heard their first two albums. I loved "Home" back in the day. Solid album.
You guys basically nailed the Sevendust sound. This one is different in it’s more of a stand out than the past few albums. Lajon is shining on this thing and the production is great. The opening track, No Revolution, Holy Water, Leave Hell Behind (can’t escape) and Fence are terrific. Consistent band, so strong after all these years. I’ve been there since the late 90s.
