Similar Stories to 20 Years Later, Metal Band Sevendust Relishes Grammy Nod on Bing News

The quintet from Atlanta is celebrating two decades together this year with its first Grammy nomination. The band finally got the attention of the Recording Academy for last year's "Kill the Flaw," its 11th studio album. The music has elements of classic metal, thrash, southern rock and even some soul, led by the fearsome instrument of Witherspoon's voice, one of the most flexible and exciting in music today. Sevendust hits the road as a headliner this spring starting April 26 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and wrapping up May 28 at the Rocklahoma festival in Pryor, Oklahoma. Though he sang in R&B bands, by high school he was hanging out with the long-haired kids listening to Guns N' Roses and Black Sabbath. Witherspoon says he doesn't see racism at Sevendust gigs these days, but years ago on tour with Slipknot he saw "a couple of knuckleheads" in the mosh pit give the Hitler salute, oblivious to what it meant.
