Harris -- Sevendust built a legacy out of records and stages left soaked in blood, sweat, and tears. There's no question the heavy metal group will demonstrate that same hard-hitting passion when they visit the Island Resort & Casino for two shows Feb. 25 and 26.
Sevendust's nu-metal sounds include plenty of hard-hitting metal, as well as some more melody-driven hard rock.
The Grammy Award-nominated Atlanta quintet consists of Lajon Witherspoon, lead vocals; Clint Lowery, lead guitar, backing vocals; John Connolly, rhythm guitar, backing vocals; Vince Hornsby, bass; and Morgan Rose, drums.
Since their formation in 1994, they delivered three classic gold-certified albums--"Sevendust" in 1997, "Home" in 1999, and "Animosity" in 2001--and sold upwards of 3 million records worldwide.
"Seasons," 2003; "Cold Day Memory," 2010; and "Kill The Flaw," 2015; each bowed in the Top 15 of the Billboard Top 200. The latter's lead single, "Thank You," received a nomination in the category of "Best Metal Performance" at the 2016 Grammy Awards, representing a career first.
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."
Their latest album, "Blood & Stone," was released in 2020. From the bludgeoning "Love" to the delicate delivery of "Kill Me," Blood & Stone highlights the scope of Sevendust's signature style.
"When we do anything, it's real, and it's from the heart," Witherspoon said. "We mean every word we write."
"We have the most loyal base of supporters I've ever seen," Rose added. "They've been here for so long. We delivered a solid record. We're a blue-collar band and we're going to grind it all the way out."
