Sevendust has had a brutal grip on eardrums since 1997, when their debut self-titled LP hit stores via TVT Records and propelled them into the spotlight of the metal world. Refusing to rest on their initial success, the Atlanta quintet has stayed extremely busy since then, releasing seven more albums and touring nonstop, including slots with Metallica, Korn and Kid Rock (plus countless festival appearances).

This one’s for our clients (and anyone else who might find this amazing). We can’t take credit for coming up with this list, but we loved it so much we had to share it. Just don’t take it too seriously:
