Formed in 1994 by bassist Vince Hornsby, drummer Morgan Rose and guitarist John Connolly.After their first demo, lead vocalist Lajon Witherspoon and guitarist Clint Lowery joined the group. Following a few name changes, the members settled on the name Sevendust and released their self-titled debut album on April 15, 1997.The self-titled album sold 311 copies its first week.However, through touring and TVT support, the album gained charting success through Billboard and earned gold certification. Since formation, Sevendust has released nine studio albums, earned additional charting success and gold sales certifications. Their eighth studio album, titled Cold Day Memory, was released on April 20, 2010. They have also re-released their self-titled album as Sevendust: Definitive Edition which contains five new tracks and a DVD.Their latest effort, Time Travelers & Bonfires, was released on April 15, 2014.

Album:

Home is the second studio album by American rock band Sevendust, released on August 24, 1999 through TVT Records. The album appeared on the Billboard 200, remained there for fourteen weeks and peaked at 19 on September 11, 1999.Home was certified gold on May 18, 2000 through the Recording Industry Association of America.The album features thirteen tracks on the United States release and sixteen tracks on the Japan release, with two tracks featuring artists outside of Sevendust.Three singles were released from the album, two of which appeared on the mainstream and modern Billboard charts."Waffle" is used in the 2001 Down to Earth film and "Denial" is used in the 2001 ATV Offroad Fury video game.Two years after releasing a promising debut, Sevendust hit the studio to record Home which many consider to be their magnum opus. Home is Sevendust’s best selling record and for good rhyme and reason. While the music itself isn’t instrumentally or lyrically amazing, they developed a fresh batch of catchy songs that one can listen to when the mood hits right.Sevendust’s overall mood on Home is that of a murky, brash and dramatic record. Of course, there are those nu-metal cliché moments of angst on the record, but that shouldn’t be too much of a problem to steer away listeners. They use it well and not in a whiny way a la Korn or Limp Bizkit. The music sounds tight and focused and that is what makes this record so good and a definitive album for nu-metal fans. The opening track, Home hits hard and rightfully so. The song is propelled forward by down tuned, chugging guitars from left to right and Lajon Witherspoon’s strong delivery of vocals. The song gives you a lot of adrenaline and as mentioned before, the members of Sevendust are by no means virtuoso’s on their instruments, but they get the job done, after all Sevendust’s music doesn’t call for fast as lighting guitar solo’s or complex drum patterns. The main focal point of their music is the melody and the overall atmosphere.After a booming opening track, the listener is left eagerly anticipating for what is going to come next. Denial, Sevendust’s lead single off Home is a nice paced alternative metal song. Lajon’s vocals on this track once again are spectacular, they add a lot to the essence to the soundscape that Sevendust create all together. The song is produced well and all the members add good input to the structure of the song. Headtrip and Reconnect are also good tracks that incorporate that post-grunge feeling. They are good tracks, but don’t add an impact like Home and Denial did. They do however keep the constant flow of the mood that was set at the beginning of the record.The next few tracks are some of the best on the record. The oddly named, Waffle is a great tune with awe-inspiring vocals by Lajon and a great performance by drummer, Morgan Rose. The verses are slow paced while the pre-chorus is a thundering delivery of vocals and chugging guitar. Clint Lowery, lead guitarist and writer, did a great job on this song as well. It is an excellent song that is fed into the listener’s ears, and into their head. Waffle is a song you’ll have on repeat for awhile. Rumble Fish is more of a fast paced rocker song with great input from all members. The song starts off with a nice palm muted guitar chord. The vocals sound very, how should I say, angry and frustrated but that makes the song a bit more memorable in my opinion.Another single off Home, and an awesomely great one at that, Licking Cream is perhaps the standout track that Home offers. Licking Cream features guest vocals from female singer, Skin, who is formally from the British rock band, Skunk Anansie. Lajon and Skin, rule the track with their brilliant vocal performances and is the reason why this track is so memorable. The last track, Bender features highly influential vocalist, Chino Moreno from the Deftones. The song itself is a good (not great) way to end the album. Moreno and Witherspoon’s vocals harmonize beautifully in the choruses and Chino adds a bit more belligerence to the song. This song would have done better being placed earlier in the album, but it gets the job done closing the album.On Home, one thing constantly stands out and that is Lajon Witherspoon’s vocal performance. He is truly the most talented member of Sevendust and vitally exhibits his gift as a vocalist throughout Home. Some of tracks might lack musicianship since they are so simplistic and bland, and there are some bad tracks on here but Lajon manages to keep Sevendust interesting throughout the record on most of the tracks. This might draw people away that are looking for a breathtaking performance with promising guitars and bass lines and drums, but Sevendust manages okay in this aspect. There are tracks that are nothing more than filler such as Insecure, an unimpressive instrumental that is used as a crossing gap to the next track and the outrageously short, Grasshopper. If you are looking for murky music that is unique in its own way from their peers and with a hell of singer, you need not be disappointed, Sevendust’s sophomore effort, Home is a must for you.
