GRAMMY® Award–nominated metal icons SEVENDUST return with their  powerful new single “Is This The Real You.” The track showcases the unmistakable sound that has propelled the band to the top of rock radio throughout their career. The band announced their first taste of the new year, a week after the announcement of their upcoming 15th studio album, ONE.

SEVENDUST once again delivers a driving, emotionally charged anthem that blends aggression, melody, and authenticity. “Is This The Real You” is available now on all digital streaming platforms.

 SEVENDUST guitarist John Connolly explains.“It was as honest, natural, and pure as any song can be. If you really want to know what Sevendust sounds like in 2026, ‘Is This The Real You?’ gives you a good idea,” 

The accompanying music video, directed by Paul Ribera, further highlights SEVENDUST's ability to captivate through striking visuals. The animated clip follows a sharply dressed character who possesses the power to compel people into actions they wouldn’t normally take. As the story unfolds, each character is confronted with a hidden side of themselves, mirroring Witherspoon’s haunting chorus question: “Is this the real you?” The video transitions panel by panel with dramatic zooms, building toward a dark, devilish finale.

About SEVENDUST:
Comprised of Lajon Witherspoon (vocals), Clint Lowery (guitar), John Connolly (guitar), Vince Hornsby (bass), and Morgan Rose (drums), SEVENDUST has made countless fans feel a part of something special. For over three decades, the group’s community hasn’t been passive. Members of the “7D Army” make a strong commitment to being part of this family, as evidenced by sold-out shows worldwide and innumerable tattoos of the band’s logo and lyrics. Since 1994, the iconic Atlanta quintet have quietly built a legacy, encompassing sales of nearly eight million albums, a GRAMMY® Award nomination for “Best Metal Performance,” three Top 15 entries on the Billboard 200, hundreds of millions of streams, and the fierce loyalty of millions of listeners in every corner of the globe. Along the way, they’ve shone as an outlier equally comfortable on tracks with members of Deftones, Creed, and Periphery to Xzibit and Daughtry.

 ONE proves why SEVENDUST remain a vital force nearly three decades into their career. From the driving opening riff of the title track “One” to the dreamy, atmospheric vocal outro of “Misdirection,” the album takes listeners on an emotional journey that only SEVENDUST can deliver. Tracks such as “Unbreakable” and “We Won” stand confidently alongside the band’s most iconic material.

ONE arrives May 1st via Napalm Records, and the album is available for pre-order now.

  CoverArtwork Courtesy of San Pr Words Written by Anselm Anderson Today marks the final chapter of an emphatic trilogy by British Metalcore Heavyweights , Virtue in Vain .
