Sevendust Next CD

Muse - Time Is Running Out (Song)
Now that I’m listening to a bit more of Muse’s music I’m realizing that a lot of it actually isn’t driven by guitar very much at all, and this is quite a contrast to the music which I’m typically accustomed to listening to. Obviously Muse does have guitar parts …

Metallica Death Magnetic
Death Magnetic makes for a nice return to something close to the Metallica of, something that makes me a very happy guy. At times this album can sound a little formulaic, almost like the band doesn’t quite remember what they once were, or how to rediscover that spark. However, …

The Chainsmokers ft. Halsey - Closer (2016 Song)
The Chainsmokers is definitely everyone’s favorite feel-good hitmaker right now.

So did this new Halsey collaboration …
