Theory of a Deadman & Sevendust

With Return to Dust

Theory Of A Deadman have blazed their own path as one of the most unapologetic forces in the rockworld today with several multi-platinum hits, albums and sold out shows worldwide. Combining witty, candid songwriting with incontrovertible riffs and melodic choruses, the Canadian band–comprised of Tyler Connolly, Dean Back, Dave Brenner and Joe Dandeneau–has transcended the zeitgeist, persistingas a multi-faceted rock powerhouse. Including hits like the fan favorite “Santa Monica"; the gold-certified “All Or Nothing"; the platinum-certified “Hate My Life” and “Bitch Came Back"; the double-platinum “Not Meant To Be"–the quartet has notched twelve songs in the Top 10 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart with four of those being #1s, the set staples “Bad Girlfriend,” “Lowlife,” “History Of Violence” & “Rx (Medicate).” The latter being the biggest smash of their career thus far, garnering them a nomination for “Rock Song of the Year” at the iHeartRadio Music Awards. The band has logged two Top 10 debuts on the Billboard Top 200, four Top 5 debuts on Billboard’s Canadian Albums Chart, nominated for five Juno Awards, and has earned high praise from American Songwriter, Billboard, and Classic Rock Magazine and various other publications. Now, the foursome once again deliver a triumphin their latest studio effort, Funeral Songs, Vol 1–the first part of two EPs, undeniably anthemic andundeniably rock and roll including the songs “Barricade” and “Winnebago (Lay Low)” with much more to come.

For over three decades, Sevendust have made countless fans feel a part of something special. The group’s community isn’t passive. Members of the “7D Army” make a very active commitment to being part of this family—as evinced by sold-out shows worldwide and innumerable tattoos of the band’s logo and lyrics. Since 1994, the iconic Atlanta quintet have quietly built a legacy without parallel, encompassing sales of nearly eight million albums, a GRAMMY® Award nomination for“Best Metal Performance,” three Top 15 entries on the Billboard 200, hundreds of millions of streams, and the fierce loyalty of millions of listeners in every corner of the globe. Along the way, they’ve shined as an outlier equally comfortable on tracks with either members of Deftones, Creed, and Peripheryor Xzibit and Daughtry. V13 spotlighted it with a cover story, Consequence hailed the music as“hard-hitting,” and Guitar World marveled at how, “more than 25 years after releasing their gold-selling self-titled debut, Sevendust’s music still has plenty of bite. ”Speaking to their longevity, they notably notched their biggest radio success to date with “Everything” in 2024, netting a career-high entry on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. However, the guys really delivered for their die hard base with 2026’s ONE [Napalm Records]. Sevendust’s 15th full-length LP forges ten simultaneously lean and gut-punching tracks out of gargantuan riffs, seismic grooves, and signature soul-stirring hooks. Rallying together around a common goal as band mates and brothers, Lajon Witherspoon [vocals], Clint Lowery [lead guitar, backing vocals], John Connolly [rhythm guitar, backing vocals], Vince Hornsby [bass], and Morgan Rose [drums] have crafted a body of work that both day-one devotees and new fans alike canhold onto forever.

Every ending sparks a new beginning. Return to Dust embodies the sound of shedding the weight of the past while embracing the promise of tomorrow. The Los Angeles-based quartet—Matty Bielawski [guitar, vocals], Graham Stanush [bass, vocals], Sebastian Gonzalez [guitar], and London Hudson [drums]—brings a fresh perspective to alternative rock.The band settled in Los Angeles to record with producer Jim Kaufman [Everclear, Danny Worsnop, NightRiots, Helmet]. 2024 saw them unveil their independent self-titled full-length debut, Return To Dust, including standout single “Belly Up” which rose through the Active Rock chart and was praised by Distorted. Soundas “a grungy, punky thrill ride,” while Revolver applauded the group’s “Alice In Chains-inspired form of modern-day grunge.” In the aftermath, they litup the stages at major festivals like Inkarceration, Welcome To Rockville, and Sonic Temple and joined rock legends Chevelle and Sevendust as support on tour. Signing to LAVARecords/Republic Records with more music on the horizon, the group is poised to stand at the forefront of the next generation of rock music, beginning with their 2025 EP Speak Like The Dead
