Scotty "Bunz Of" Steele of Spokane, Washington's Rock 94 1/2 radio station recently conducted an interview with drummer Morgan Rose of Atlanta's SEVENDUST. The chat is now available for streaming in two parts below.

SEVENDUST recently entered Groovemaster Studios in Chicago, Illinois with producer Johnny K (DISTURBED, STAIND, MACHINE HEAD) to begin recording its new album for an early 2010 release.

Prior to hooking up with Johnny K for the new album recording sessions, SEVENDUST spent time writing and recording demos with Corey Lowery (former member of DARK NEW DAY, STEREOMUD and STUCK MOJO and brother of SEVENDUST guitarist Clint Lowery) engineering.

Regarding the band's producer choice and new material, SEVENDUST said in a statement, "We've enjoyed [Johnny K's] work over the years and believe he is the guy for the job.

"This record is VERY important and we have some of the best songs going into this process than we ever have.

"We read [the fans'] comments [online] and we believe [they] will not be disappointed. We still have a ways to go but we hope to have [the new CD] out by spring next year."

SEVENDUST released a very limited-edition box set in November 2008 entitled "Packaged Goods". Each five-disc set was personally autographed by the entire band. The box set included SEVENDUST's 2005 release "Next", 2007's "Alpha", 2007's "Retrospective 2" (CD + DVD), and 2008's "Chapter VII: Hope & Sorrow".

SEVENDUST's last album, "Chapter VII: Hope and Sorrow" (7Bros/Asylum), came out in April 2008. The CD sold 25,000 copies in the United States during its first week of release to land at position No. 19 on The Billboard 200 chart.
