At time of writing, Not Today is the bands latest single, and while it has a bit more of a subdued intro than the other songs here, as soon as Lajons vocals barricade their way into your cerebellum, theres a barrier for quality the band just never fail to hit. In an age where everyone from Trivium to Bring Me The Horizon are forgoing their past scream-heavy identities in favour of tapping into wider audiences, its awesome to hear Sevendust push songs that feature some suitably affronting verse-vocals and crushing breakdowns alongside the bits youll be humming later that day.

If theres one thing you can always point to Sevendust for, its delivering a crunchy early 2000s vocal style alongside a soaring and incredibly uplifting chorus.

This factors into a great section at the close of the song thats emblematic of this, and its something that makes you very glad he returned back in 2013.
