While there is no album release date yet, they've been saying early 2010. More importantly though, they've been posting videos nearly everyday for over a month now with studio footage of them goofing around as well as videos of them tracking. Some of this stuff sounds really promising. This the first album with Clint Lowery back in the fold (he went to Dark New Day and played with Korn for a little while). This is also the first album for which Sevendust has used an outside producer since Clint left. The producer is Johnny K, best known for his work producing the first three Disturbed albums as well as the most recent records from Staind, Finder Eleven, 3 Doors Down, Soil, and both records from Plain White T's. All the studio footage can be seen at Sevendust's youtube channel: www.youtube.com/user/officialsevendust?blend=2&ob=4

I hope they pick something more representative of their signature sound than "Prodigal Son" off the last album. Then again, with Clint back in the writing process, the songs should naturally have that signature Sevendust stamp that the last three albums have comparatively lacked.

Alpha didn't lack. I mean, it was the best album I've heard since Seasons.

Oh I'm not trying to say that their three most recent albums have been worse, so much as I'm trying to say that to my ears, Clint Lowery is a huge part of the sound that I associate with Sevendust. The new studio clips they have on their youtube channel feel more like Sevendust to me than the last few albums. Dark New Day felt more like Sevendust to me than Sonny Mayo era Sevendust...instrumentally at least.

recording of the album is complete. I wonder what the album will sound like. Maybe with Clint back, it could sound like one of their first albums

Maybe with Clint back, it could sound like one of their first albums I think with Clint it's more likely to sound closer to Animosity or Seasons than anything earlier. I think of their post-Clint output as being throwbacks to their first albums because of the inclination toward heaviness. I think with Clint back, there will more of a balance with melody and polish.

i miss their first album sound. but animosity was solid too. since seasons, most of their radio singles seem to follow the same formula and feel a bit weak.
i will say, however, that face to face is one of their best songs.

Ooo we should play a game like with Mudvayne - The New Game where we guess the single simply based on the track names and tracklist. I'll guess "Last Breath" though I think some of the other titles would be more interesting standouts. I just have a feeling "Last Breath" is gonna be the song with the polished money chorus.

Clint Lowery himself was on fellow Georgian Corey Smith's guest list the other night. He never showed up, though. Why Clint Lowery was even in town, I have no idea.

I bet "Splinter" will be the first track they leak on their myspace, while intending to release a different first single. It's just like what they did with "Pieces"/"Ugly" and "Deathstar"/"Driven." They said that their intention is to leak a track any day now and then choose a single in early February.

^Cool I found sources to back you up so I'm changing the thread title. They've changed their mind before so we'll see. Last time it looked like "Scapegoat" was gonna be the first single. And for awhile we thought "Pieces" and "Deathstar" were singles rather than teasers. Given this is being called a single I'll change the title, but this may just be another teaser track.

Well "Pieces" was a single but it ended up being the third one instead of the first. Just to be specific.

^True. I did mean lead single. And Sevendust's third singles haven't gotten much love from radio since "Face To Face". "Inside" off their last album was their most successful third single in awhile. Oh wait, Alpha didn't even have a third single despite the relative success of "Driven". I guess "Beg To Differ" killed that album's momentum.

Here's a video of Justin Walden the Programmer playing the intro of "Unraveling." www.youtube.com/watch?v=dByIh7Bv1xIIt starts at 1:08. As he's working on the programming, the electronics are fairly high in this rough mix, but I'd say this sounds very promising as a first single, and if it's the song I think it is from the other videos, it may have a pretty money chorus as well.

And they apparently played a new Nonpoint song instead.

"Unraveling" was finally played on Sirius Octane at 5:30. In the meantime, they've posted an album track called "Forever Dead" on their myspace. It's a lot heavier than the single will be. www.myspace.com/sevendust

I don't know...I still haven't heard it. I have a feeling I'll like it better than "Forever Dead" though. I liked the studio teaser videos that had parts of "Unraveling" in them better than the "Forever Dead" studio teaser. Actually, "Forever Dead" was my least favorite among the studio videos, and it's still pretty good, so I have high hopes for the rest of the album.

"Unraveling" www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipHQpXL1ffMI think this could do some damage at active rock. Probably nothing more than "Driven", but this sounds like it would have been huge 6 or 7 years ago. It's got a bit of a Linkin Park vibe to it. As far as Sevendust songs go, It's most similar to "Broken Down", which had it been the first single off 'Seasons' I believe would have been their most successful single to date. We'll see.
