SEVENDUST guitarist John Connolly has confirmed that the band will take part in the upcoming Rockstar Energy Mayhem tour, which will play around 30 Live Nation amphitheaters in North America during July and August. The trek will be co-headlined by SLIPKNOT and DISTURBED, with MASTODON and FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH also expected to appear on the bill, alongside a number of yet-to-be-announced acts.

Connolly revealed SEVENDUST's participation in the trek during a live webcast from the Dean Guitars booth at at this year's winter NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) show, which was held at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California.

Agreed with Curor anything off the I Monarch album is a great place to start.

Their debut and sophomore record are pretty much even with eachother.

I'm pretty selective with my death metal because so much of it is very samey. Hate Eternal take the standard up a peg though. New album Feb 19th too! I 've been hanging on to a gift card from Xmas just for the new HE.
