Sevendust are back and hitting hard. The Grammy-nominated metal veterans have released “Threshold,” the latest single from their forthcoming 15th studio album ‘One’, arriving May 1 via Napalm Records. Built on the band’s signature blend of heavy grooves and melodic intensity, the track finds frontman Lajon Witherspoon delivering raw, emotionally charged vocals aimed squarely at anyone who pushes others to their breaking point. It’s a punishing and urgent piece of work, exactly what you want from a band three decades deep with nothing left to prove.
The accompanying claymation video picks up where the band’s previous clip for “Fence” left off, with animator Ollie Jones returning to continue the storyline. This time, a greedy music agent pressures a management team to dig up the decayed members of Sevendust and send them back on tour. Reanimated and back under his control, the band’s fate is left hanging at the video’s end. It’s darkly funny, visually inventive, and perfectly matched to the song’s themes of manipulation and resistance. The band’s first single, “Is This The Real You,” released in January and directed by Paul Ribera, has already racked up over 1.3 million views, building real momentum heading into the album’s release.
‘One’ spans the full range of what Sevendust does best, from the driving title track through the atmospheric vocal outro of “Misdirection,” with tracks like “We Won” sitting confidently alongside the band’s most iconic material. Nearly 30 years in, their creative engine hasn’t slowed down one bit.
