Sevendust releases music video for “Superficial Drug”

Author Hernan Osuna - 25.7.2023

With their latest single “Everything moving up the Active Rock radio charts and just three days until their new LP is available worldwide, Grammy Award-nominated band Sevendust is releasing another piece of music from “Truth Killer” – the group’s 14th studio album and first via Napalm Records.

Superficial Drug” is an introspective rocker that showcases the band’s dynamic approach to melody – something that has always been the backbone of Sevendust’s signature sound.

The US outfit – Lajon Witherspoon, Clint Lowery, John Connolly, Vince Hornsby and Morgan Rose – reunited with director J.T. Ibanez (P.O.D., Loveless, Orianthi) for the third time to create visuals to support “Truth Killer”·. The video features the group performing as cloaked figures representing “superficial drugs” try and overtake the band.

From the introspective opening of “I Might Let The Devil Win” to the classic Sevendust sound of “Fence,” the twelve songs on “Truth Killer” demonstrate that the band sounds as relevant today as they did on their 1997 self-titled debut. “Truth Killer,” “Everything” and “Holy Water” combine elements of the classic Sevendust sound with modern updates, pointing their lyrical lens at the world today and showcasing the musical diversity that has won the band a legion of loyal fans.

“Truth Killer” arrives in full Friday, July 28. It’s the 14th Sevendust album and the follow-up to 2020’s “Blood & Stone”. You can pre-order it here.

The band will be touring in support of “Truth Killer” throughout the summer and fall, including dates with Static-X as well as Alter Bridge and Mammoth WVH.
