SEVENDUST has cancelled its participation in this summer's inaugural Rockstar Energy Mayhem tour "due to changes in [the group's] touring schedule," according to a statement released by the band. No further information is currently available.

Rockstar Energy Mayhem is being headlined by SLIPKNOT and DISTURBED, with some of hard music's most influential artists and a plethora of the genre's most exciting young voices completing the bill. The tour is set to kick off July 9 at the White River Amphitheatre in Seattle and will hit 30 cities in the U.S. and Canada between early July and late August.

SEVENDUST will be the featured guests on the nationally syndicated radio show "Rockline", hosted by Bob Coburn, airing Monday, March 17 at 11:30 p.m. EST/8:30 p.m. PST. Fans can talk live with SEVENDUST by calling 800-344-ROCK (7625). To find a station near you or to listen to the show live via the Internet, go to www.rocklineradio.com.

A brand new SEVENDUST song, entitled "Prodigal Son", is available for streaming on the band's MySpace page. The track comes off SEVENDUST's seventh studio album, "Chapter VII: Hope and Sorrow", which is due on April 1. The CD was produced by Sean Groove, Morgan Rose and John Connolly at Tree Sounds Studios in Atlanta, Georgia and will mark SEVENDUST's second release through the band's wholly owned record label, 7Bros. Records under Warner Music Group. The disc features guest appearances by singer Chris Daughtry, ALTER BRIDGE frontman Myles Kennedy and ALTER BRIDGE guitarist Mark Tremonti.

Here is the "Chapter VII: Hope and Sorrow" track listing:

01. Inside
02. Enough
03. Hope (feat. Mark Tremonti)
04. Scapegoat
05. Fear
06. The Past (feat. Chris Daughtry)
07. Prodigal Son
08. Lifeless
09. Sorrow (feat. Miles Kennedy)
10. Contradiction
11. Walk Away

SEVENDUST will travel to Australia in mid-March to open three shows for OZZY OSBOURNE, before coming home to the U.S. for a spring headlining run of its own.

SEVENDUST will open for Ozzy on March 15 in Melbourne, March 18 in Sydney and March 20 in Brisbane.

I'm a little miffed that Sevendust put an American Idol singer on their new album. That upsets me.... even if he handles his vocal lines and lyrics well (which I doubt) it's the principle of the matter.

Yes - my friend already heard the new Sevendust album - he is very disappointed. He WAS a huge fan of 7d, however, and these are his words -"Sevendust is done". I never throught I would hear him say this. I agree - Sevendust has really mellowed. What happened to the type of songs on the self-titled album...it was killer.
