SEVENDUST



With their 15th studio album "ONE" arriving 1st May, GRAMMY® Award–nominated metal icons SEVENDUST return with a powerful new single, 'Threshold'. Comprised of Lajon Witherspoon (vocals), Clint Lowery (guitar), John Connolly (guitar), Vince Hornsby (bass), and Morgan Rose (drums), the band once again deliver a driving, emotionally charged track primed to become a centrepiece of their live set.


'Threshold' highlights SEVENDUST’s signature blend of heavy grooves and melodic intensity, paired with motivational lyricism. Witherspoon channels raw emotion as he addresses those who push others to their breaking point: “You want another piece of me, don’t ya? To break apart so you get what you wanted?” Poised to stand among the standout moments of the band’s three-decade career, 'Threshold' is available now on all digital streaming platforms.


The accompanying music video marks the return of animator Ollie Jones and continues the storyline introduced in the band’s video for 'Fence'. In the new chapter, a greedy music agent pressures a management team to exhume the decayed members of SEVENDUST and send them back on tour. Reanimated using the same mysterious substance that first brought them back, the band embarks on a run designed to line the agent’s pockets. The video ends with the band under his full control and what happens next is anyone’s guess.





Building on their unmistakable sound while continuing to evolve, "ONE" proves why SEVENDUST remain a vital force nearly three decades into their career. From the driving opening riff of the title track 'One' to the dreamy, atmospheric vocal outro of 'Misdirection', the album takes listeners on an emotional journey that only SEVENDUST can deliver. Tracks such as 'One' and 'We Won' stand confidently alongside the band’s most iconic material, reinforcing their legacy while pushing their sound forward.


The album’s first single, 'Is This The Real You', was released in January to both fan and critical acclaim. The video—directed by Paul Ribera—has amassed over 1.3 million views in less than six weeks, signalling strong anticipation for the band’s next chapter.


Since forming in 1994, SEVENDUST have become a cornerstone of modern metal, known for their explosive live performances, chart-topping releases, and unwavering commitment to authenticity. With "ONE", the band continues to honour their roots while embracing growth—proving that their creative fire is as fierce and focused as ever. "ONE" arrives 1st May via Napalm Records and the album is available for pre-order in multiple configurations including digital downloads now.
