专辑介绍

Sevendust 的前身叫 Crawlspace，成军于 1995 年，1997 年起改名并发行同名专辑【Sevendust】。他们在 1999 年推出【Home】专辑时，音乐电视频道上强力放送著 Sevendust 跟英国重摇滚 Skunk Anansie 的光头黑人暴女主唱 Skin 所合唱的《Licking Cream》，音乐录像带拍得酷劲，而歌曲本身的旋律性、编曲演奏的煽动性和两个黑人密合而又轮流突出的“男女对唱”，都让我再三为之惊艳，当下对 Sevendust 发表过的作品展开追寻，并陆续收齐后续的新专辑。

对于 Sevendust，有一点始终让我觉得有些奇怪。那就是他们在外插花的单歌，似乎极少资源回收放在自己的专辑里，譬如在 WWF（那时还没改名为 WWE）美式摔角明星出场主题曲合辑【Forceable Entry】里的《Break The Wall》、为电影【The Scorpion King（魔蝎大帝）】原声带所献唱的《Corrected》都是。而在电影【Scream 3（惊声尖叫３）】电影原声带中的《Fall》、以“摇滚、金属／饶舌、嘻哈的混种格斗”为出发点的概念性合辑【LOUD ROCK】里跟 Xzibit 互轧的《What U See Is What U Get》这两首歌在我心目中都是与《Licking Cream》相比毫不逊色的一等一精彩杰作，一样都是“货物出门概不退换”。也许是因为他们特别想强调“量身订制”的意义，或是非常注重专辑的概念的“统一性与整体性”，这一点我不得而知，但我必须说，如果不是因为在《Licking Cream》之后又听见《Fall》，感受到 Sevendust 有别于时下多数只重视融入嘻哈节奏加上金属音墙表象所谓 nu-metal 团优异的旋律谱写能力，也许从来并非纯正金属迷的我就不会对 Sevendust 这个团产生高度兴趣了。

Sevendust are back with their seventh studio album, Chapter VII: Hope & Sorrow, produced by Sean Groove, Morgan Rose & John Connolly. The release will be their second on the band's wholly owned record label, 7Bros. Records under Warner Music Group's Asylum/Independent Label Group.
For the first time since Animosity (2001), the band has collaborated with outside artists, including Chris Daughtry and members of Alterbridge. First single, 'Prodigal Son', will be impacting Active and Mainstream Rock radio on February 10th, with a video soon to follow. Sevendust will be touring in support of the album throughout the year.
The March 2007 release of Alpha, the bands sixth studio album and first on 7Bros. Records, saw Sevendust equal their highest Billboard album ranking of their career with a first week debut at #14 on the Billboard Top 200, selling 42,398 copies. With even more radio hits packed into the new album, Sevendust looks forward to continuing to raise the bar.
