Sevendust & Theory of a Deadman at Marquee Theatre
Sevendust never follow a linear path. Instead, they continue to bulldoze a lane of their own with a proven one-two punch of rumbling grooves, unpredictable riffing, and stirringly soulful vocals unlike anything else in hard rock. As a result, their music connects straight to the heart as evidenced by their full-contact live shows and diehard “family” of fans. It’s why they’ve been around since 1994, tallied global sales of seven million, logged three gold-selling albums, delivered three Top 15 debuts on the Billboard 200, and garnered a GRAMMY® Award nomination in the category of “Best Metal Performance.” They’re the rare force of nature who not only graced the bills of Woodstock and OZZfest, but also Shiprocked! and Sonic Temple and some of the largest stages around the globe. Along the way, they’ve notably collaborated with everyone from members of Deftones, Daughtry, and Staind to Alter Bridge, Periphery, and Xzibit. 2020 saw them deliver one of the most-acclaimed albums of their career with Blood & Stone, which Metal Hammer christened “Sevendust’s best work in years” and Outburn dubbed “everything a Sevendust fan could want.”
However, the Atlanta quintet—Lajon Witherspoon [lead vocals], Clint Lowery [lead guitar, backing vocals], John Connolly [rhythm guitar, backing vocals], Vince Hornsby [bass], and Morgan Rose [drums]—defy expectations yet again on their fourteenth full-length and debut for Napalm Records, Truth Killer.
Theory Of A Deadman have blazed their own path as one of the most unapologetic forces in the rock world today with several multi-platinum hits, albums and sold out shows worldwide. Combining witty, candid songwriting within controvertible riffs and melodic choruses, the Canadian band–comprised of Tyler Connolly, Dean Back, Dave Brenner and Joe Dandeneau–has transcended the zeitgeist, persisting asamulti-faceted rockpowerhouse. 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, these 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 triumph in their latest studio effort, Part 1: Funeral Songs–the first part of two EPs, undeniably anthemic and undeniably rock and roll including the songs “Barricade” and “Winnebago (Lay Low)”.
