Sevendust throw a curveball by introducing Blood & Stone to the world with a haunting, hypnotic, and hard-hitting cover of Soundgarden’s “The Day I Tried To Live.” It preserves the spirit of the original while bringing a sense of stark soul. Instead of getting tapped out, they got even better.” With those guys being so prepared, the writing was seamless. It had already started to take shape very early. “John had just done a bunch of writing for Projected, and Clint had just recorded his solo album, so they were both in writing mode,” recalls Morgan. Fresh from All I See Is War and respective solo outings, Clint and John literally fired on all cylinders. ” Energized by a particularly prolific period, Sevendust reconvened at Studio Barbarosa with Michael “Elvis” Baskette during late 2019. Along the way, they sold out countless shows around the globe and lit up iconic festivals such as Sonic Temple, Woodstock, OZZfest, and Shiprocked! 2018’s All I See Is War earned some of the best reviews of the group’s career as Associated Press claimed, “The band does what it wants and deserves as many ears as possible.

This band means more to me now than it ever did, because we built something really special and still put on a show worthy of being in the game.” We find a way to work through everything. However, music has been our way of leaning on each other through all of it. “We’ve been beaten down to the ground, left on the verge of bankruptcy, and robbed blind by people who were supposed to be taking care of us. “At this point, we’ve gone through all of the shit you can imagine,” Morgan remarks. Not only do they stand strong together, but they also come out swinging as a raw, real, and relevant force. The GRAMMY ® Award-nominated Atlanta quintet-Lajon Witherspoon, Clint Lowery, John Connolly, Vince Hornsby, and Morgan Rose -weather anything the world throws at them as a unit. Maintaining an unspoken, yet unbreakable bond for nearly three decades, Sevendust drew strength from one another on their thirteenth full-length and second release for Rise Records, Blood & Stone. Under any and all circumstances, brothers depend on each other. ![]()
