“We can’t wait to hit the road with our friends in Static-X and DOPE,” Sevendust frontman Lajon Witherspoon stated. “It has been 24 years since the last time we have shared a stage with those guys. We can’t wait to do it again this Fall and to bring together all of our family members together in one place.”
“We are excited to bring the fans an even bigger and better show than the last one” says Xer0. “We are already building the new production elements and we intend to blow the roofs off of these venues each night.”
“We are beyond thrilled to be touring with Sevendust again” says Static-X guitarist Tony Campos. “They bring one hell of a show each and every night, so this tour is going to be one for the ages.”
“We’re excited to join our friends in Static-X and Dope who we share much history with on tour,” adds Sevendust guitarist Clint Lowery. “I have no doubt that this will be an extremely entertaining and high production run. The bands and the fans have much to look forward to on this one. Do not miss out!”
Sevendust’s upcoming fourteenth studio album Truth Killer arrives on July 28 via Napalm Records. The album was produced by long-time collaborator Michael “Elvis” Baskette (Falling In Reverse, Alter Bridge, Limp Bizkit). The band has revealed two tracks from the record so far – “Fence” and “Everything.” The GRAMMY® Award nominees will be on tour with Alter Bridge in North America in August.
Static-X recently wrapped up their Rise of The Machine Tour. The original lineup of Tony Campos, Koichi Fukuda and Ken Jay backed by frontman Xer0 sold out 37 of their 42 dates on the run, while showcasing the largest stage production that Static-X has ever put together. The band promises that the production on The Truth Killer Tour is going to be even bigger and more impressive this time around.
Continuing to create new music, Static-X announced Project Regeneration: Vol 2 and released the first single from that album – a cover of the Nine Inch Nails classic “Terrible Lie.” The upcoming album is produced by the band’s current vocalist/guitarist Xer0 and mixed/mastered by long-time collaborator Ulrich Wild. The new album is available for pre-order now HERE in various configurations including limited color vinyl, limited shirts, hoodies and more.
