Sevendust to release CD/DVD and on tour

December 11, 2007 will see Sevendust open the vault on a three year ride beginning in early January 2005 with the making of the album Next, right up to the present with the release of Retrospective 2; a dual disc CD/DVD pack. Retrospective 2 will feature 6 live cuts and 3 brand new studio tracks on the CD and almost 2 hours of video footage on the DVD. The dual disc is the second release on Sevendust's own 7 Bros. Records in conjunction with Warner Music Group's Independent Label Group.
The collection includes videos from the hits, "Ugly" and "Driven," the fury of one of rocks premier live performers captured on the tracks "Hero," "Silence," "Clueless" and "Alpha." But that's not all, embodied here are rare clips forever on display such as the unique Orlando question and answer event on the eve of the release of the record Alpha, the New Years Eve video of "The Rim," and as a special bonus, a comical episode of "Pete the A&R Guy" and what he has to say about the state of the Dust. This DVD and companion CD pack includes new audio tracks, "Losing You" and "Sleeper," making this keepsake packaging a must for every Sevendust fan.

Sevendust, in conjunction with Ticketmaster, is offering a ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME additional purchase option to the typical concert experience for their upcoming "Ladies Get Out Of Jail Free Tour." Purchasers can obtain a 'Premium Package' containing a concert ticket to the event, DVD & Compact Disc or digital download of Sevendust's new album Retrospective 2 delivered to their home on or just after the official retail release date of Tuesday, December 11, 2007. In addition, the package will contain a commemorative autographed poster, plus gain entrance to the Retrospective 2 Audio/Visual Event held an hour and a half prior to the scheduled door time.
The Retrospective 2 Audio/Visual Event includes exclusive listening session of THREE brand new studio tracks, exclusive live concert footage, the video for the new single "Beg to Differ," video outtakes from a day in the life of Sevendust spanning the last four years, plus a question and answer session with the members of Sevendust themselves!

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 Top 200 selling 42,398 copies. The press heralded Alpha as a return to form for the band as the Associated Press raved "Sevendust has been reborn on Alpha" and Guitar World gloated that "Sevendust go for the jugular, creating vicious thrash-based songs that surge and sway as they pummel." Revolver ran a 5 page retrospective feature on the band, saying "With the punishing Alpha, Sevendust hope to recapture the fury- and flavor- of their prime." Alpha also saw Sevendust re-appear on the Active Rock radio charts as "Driven" was a top 10 smash.

In celebration of the success of Alpha, Sevendust announces the official release of Alpha outside of the US and Canada, Monday November 12, 2007. The offering will contain the original 12 tracks plus the bonus track "The Rim" along with a brand new studio track entitled, "Abuse Me."
