Editor's note

Sevendust's heavy riffs and melodic vocals

An Atlanta band that's kept a core lineup through decades of touring and studio work.

For a good sense of their sound, try 'Face To Face' or 'Licking Cream'. Lajon Witherspoon's voice and the group's rhythmic punch have defined them across albums.

They've put out a steady run of albums since the late '90s, with several landing in the Billboard 200's Top 20. Songs like 'Angel's Son' show their mix of heavy riffs and melodic vocals, and they've toured with acts like Metallica and Aerosmith. Their 2003 track 'Praise' drew attention for lyrics some listeners found provocative.

Sevendust formed in Atlanta in 1994 and released their self-titled debut in 1997 after heavy touring. Bassist Vince Hornsby died in a 2002 car accident, and the band took time off before returning with Chris Doliber. They've released over a dozen studio records since, including 'Animosity' in 2001.
