Biographie de Theory of a Deadman

Canadian rock/ alternative metal band, Theory Of A Deadman, is originally from Delta, British Columbia, and has been a band since 2001.

The band allegedly caught their big break when Tyler Connolly (vocals/guitar) slipped the band’s demo to Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger, who had just stared 604 Records in 2001. Shortly after, the band, consisting of Tyler Connolly, Tim Hart, Dave Brenner, and Dean Back, were signed, and released their eponymous album in 2002. There was a bit of criticism found in the album, specifically that the band sounded like a carbon copy to their mentor’s band, however with touring and maturation, the band found their own sound. They turned their own sound into an album, entitled “Gasoline” in 2005, followed by a tour with Shinedown and No Address. Later that same year, the band went on a tour with Breaking Benjamin and The Exies. The following year, the band performed a cover version of “Deadly Game” as the theme song for the World Wrestling Entertainment’s No Way Out 2006.

In 2007 Robin Diaz took over as drummer and in 2008 the band released their third album, “Scars and Souveneirs.” By 2009 the album reached certified gold status, and had songs that appeared on various other media as well as tours. In 2011 the band released “The Truth Is…” followed by a co-headlined the Carnival of Madness Tour with After Bridge. Most recently, the band has released “Savages” on 29 July 2014.

Biographie de Sevendust

Sevendust is an American alternative metal band from Atlanta, Georgia. Formed in 1994, the group went through multiple name changes before settling on the name Sevendust and releasing their debut album.

The original members of the band, Lajon Witherspoon, John Connolly, Clint Lowery, Vince Hornsby and Morgan Rose, came together in 1994 and worked constantly on their sound for a few years before releasing any material. In 1996 the band released the track “My Ruin” which was featured on videogame soundtrack, “More Kombat”.

The band’s heavy riffs and thrashing drum lines proved popular with fans and, after extensive touring to support the release of their debut album, “Sevendust”, in 1997, the album was finally certified gold despite only getting to 165 on the US Billboard chart.

With a legion of fans in their corner after their extensive touring for the album “Sevendust”, the band released their second studio album “Home” in 1999, which shot to the number 19 spot in the US Billboard chart. Like it’s predecessor, the album was eventually certified gold.

To widen their audience, the band toured extensively worldwide alongside huge bands such as Metallica, Korn, Limp Bizkit, Nonpoint, Kid Rock and Creed. With this exposure the band achieved their biggest success to date in 2003 with the album “Seasons”, which peaked at the number 14 position on the US Billboard chart. The band’s first top 10 single also came from this album, with “Enemy” hitting the number 10 spot on the US Mainstream Rock chart.

It was seven years before Sevendust was able to outdo the success of “Seasons”. In 2010, the band released “Cold Day Memory” which shot to number 12 on the US Billboard chart. The album’s lead single, “Unravelling” also performed well, getting to number seven on the US Mainstream Rock chart.

When asked to describe their genre of music, Sevendust has struggled to define their style. Instead, they explain that their music has evolved through a number of sub genres including nu metal, heavy metal and rock. Sevendust claim their influences as Twisted Sister, Anthrax and Ministry.

Avis

Canadian rock band Theory of a Deadman were the first act to sign to 604 Records, Chad Kroeger from Nickelback’s record label. The affiliation with Kroeger allowed lead singer Tyler Connolly the opportunity to collaborate with him on numerous occasions. Releasing their debut self-titled album in 2002, the band went straight in at number 4 in the Canadian album charts. Connolly’s raspy and rough vocals give the band a country edge, a distinctive quality now synonymous with TOAD. The success of their debut scored them a Juno Award for New Group of the Year. In 2005 “Gasoline” their second album featured their first number one single “No Surprise”. Having toured with the likes of: Mötley Crüe, Black Stone Cherry, Stone Sour, Alter Bridge and Drowning Pool saw them perfect their performances whilst gaining in popularity with the crowds. Once the band hit the stage they are fully in the zone, met by a sea of screams. Dividing the crowd into male and female, Connolly calls for each to scream to see which side is louder before going into the track “Gentlemen”. The crowd go wild throwing their metal horns in the air as they raise their arms steadily fist-pumping as the red and blue lights dart across the stage. Occasionally Dave Brenner (guitar) and Dean Beck (bass) toss their plectrums into the audience as they scramble to make a catch. Slowing it down, Connolly dedicates “All Or Nothing” to the ladies of the crowd which is met with high pitched screams before the band let the crowd to sing the chorus acapella. Leaving “Bad Girlfriend” and “Lowlife” for the encore goes down a storm as Connolly roams to the front of the stage singing into the crowd as they sing it even louder back. One thing you can be sure of is that Theory of a Deadman know how to put on a blooming good rock show.

Whether a small or big concert hall or festival stage, Sevendust delivers the goods and well at that! The first time I saw 7D, I arrived at a moderate size arena they were playing at just at the tail end of their set. Much to my dismay I also missed an autograph session they held in the lobby after that by a hair's breadth. Since then, however, I saw them rock the afternoon concert stage electric fashion at Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar three years ago. Singer Lajon Witherspoon's voice is nothing short of amazing as his impressive vocal range and style can morph from loud and gravelly to quiet and melodic, making for a great sing-along! Just recently during the end of the first leg of their current tour, they played a more intimate concert, namely an acoustic set at a Knights of Columbus Hall in my home state. It put the music in a whole new perspective and with a catered lunch and open bar, made for a true party atmosphere. Drummer Morgan Rose provided a hypnotic back beat with his bongo drum set and guitarists Clint Lowery and John Connolly along with Vince Hornsby's bass playing created melodies that were nothing short of intricate and infectious. In addition, I was finally able to get closure on a missed meet&greet from four years ago, something I told Witherspoon I had been angling to do since then when I spoke with him after the concert and was gracious about taking a picture with me for posterity as well. A grand day out!
