SEVENDUST will release its 12th studio album, "All I See Is War", on May 11. The follow-up to 2015's "Kill The Flaw" was recorded at Studio Barbarosa in Gotha, Florida with producer Michael "Elvis" Baskette, who has previously worked with ALTER BRIDGE and SLASH, among others.
SEVENDUST's new disc will be the group's first for Rise Records, the Oregon-based metal and hard rock label which was purchased by BMG in 2015.
In a recent interview with "Good Company", SEVENDUST singer Lajon Witherspoon stated about the band's upcoming effort: "We've done so much [more] in 33 days recording this than I've ever done in my life. I sang 14 days in nine days to make up for some time that was lost. But it was because I felt good too, so some days I did two songs a day. And it was an experience working with Elvis and [engineer] Jeff [Moll]. Not to take anything [away] from any other producer, but, for me, it was the best [recording] experience in my life. Maybe it [was] due to me being older and more seasoned with what's going on, but the way that he worked and the things that he knows about music was completely different — I'd never seen anyone [like that] before."
According to Lajon, Baskette had the music for 60 new SEVENDUST songs to choose from prior to the making of the new album. "For me, I felt stronger as a singer — he made me a better singer, working with him," Witherspoon said. He went on to describe his working relationship with Elvis as "a partnership. I hated leaving the house, and I can't wait to do another album with him, and I would like to do it even longer than 33 days," he said.
SEVENDUST will head out on a headline tour this spring in support of "All I See Is War". The trek will kick off on April 20 in Tempe, Arizona and will wrap up at Rockfest in Kansas City, Kansas. The tour will make stops in Austin, Texas; Nashville, Tennessee; Clifton Park, New York and Cincinnati, Ohio, among others. MEMPHIS MAY FIRE, FIRE FROM THE GODS and MADAME MAYHEM will join SEVENDUST on the run.
In 2016, SEVENDUST received its first-ever Grammy nomination after two decades together as a band. "Thank You", the debut single from "Kill The Flaw", got the nod for "Best Metal Performance".
Light the torch, Breaking Benjamin and now sevendust. It’s gonna be a good year for music. Can’t freaking wait !!!
Don’t Forget A Perfect Circle, 4/20
I merely scratched the surface on it all. There’s loads of new stuff coming out this year. I could have listed more .
Man oh man, the hype is real!
It’s gonna good year . Can’t wait for them to all drop🤘
Stan you’re an idiot. What does “It’s gonna good year mean?”
I’m speaking for myself regarding the new music comin in the year. Not speaking for anyone else.
New single “Dirty” is now out there.
Added video.
Holy hell I was not expecting the single to be that good.
Sevendust seems to get better and better with each passing record much like with Breaking Benjamin and many of the other bands I listen to. Can’t wait to add them all to my ever expanding mp3 library .
Ah crap, the video got taken down. :/
It’s up now on YouTube. Somebody posted it up here before it was to be officially released and was probably taken down because of that. But it’s up officially now. I’ve seen it probably 5 times already . I’ll just say sevendust never disappoints
“Not original” came from outta nowhere today.
Here is the link to “Original” on Youtube for those interested:

Enjoy :)
Whoops sorry that’s supposed to say Not Original above. :)
I’ve seen the video a couple times . It’s another good song. Not quite what I was expecting. I guess they all can’t be heavy. Can’t wait hear the rest of the album.
Medicated leaked . So far this shaping up to be a good record very diverse. You got some heavy you got some softer and middle of the road that could go either way. From all that I’ve heard so far. Can’t wait for the rest . Next they seriously need to release a B- side album collection
Holy fuck this album is amazing 🤘
Will there be a deluxe edition?
@Stan Not sure if it will be a deluxe, but there are 2 more tracks called what you are and all I really know https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_I_See_Is_War
Hope they release them here. I’m tired of the other countries getting the good stuff and we’re left with the “standard album”.
Some of the best sevendust music I’ve heard has been exclusive on other countries. I’m tired of tearing the net apart looking for their
Bonus music and that goes for all bands . Not just sevendust
Edit . *** Exclusive IN other countries ***
