Sevendust has officially finished tracking their new studio album, according to singer Lajon Witherspoon and guitarist Clint Lowery. The album is tentatively set for an early 2026 release through Napalm Records. As with past efforts, the band recorded with producer Michael “Elvis” Baskette (known for his work with Alter Bridge and Slash) at Studio Barbarosa in Gotha, Florida.
Lowery wrote on Instagram:
“I got so caught up at home I forgot to post my end of studio picture. Seeing the other guys finishing up their parts and going home reminded me. First off…thanks to God ALL mighty. My family who I sacrifice time away from during the writing and tracking of this. My amazing bandmates @morgan7d @ljspoon @jmc7d @thevinniehornsby for giving me some of the best memories of my life. The killer production team….the complete monster squad…. @elvisliberace @1f_jef @joshuasaldate for taking things to the highest level demanding perfection or our closet effort. 4 records in a row and all amazing experiences. Can’t wait to hear @elvisliberace mix this bad boy up. So grateful. See yall on tour very soon! Ps: @janusmusicmgmt thank you”
Sevendust is celebrating its 30th anniversary by looking both forward and backward. The band recently completed writing sessions for the follow-up to 2023’s Truth Killer at the farmhouse of singer Lajon Witherspoon and his wife Ashley. While working on new material, the band will also embark on the exclusive “Southside Double-Wide: Acoustic Live” tour this fall, celebrating the 21st anniversary of their acoustic album. The intimate trek kicks off on November 14 in Columbia, Missouri, and runs through December 12 in San Antonio, Texas, featuring stripped-down versions of tracks like “Black,” “Beautiful,” and “Angel’s Son.”
