Animosity by Sevendust
Animosity is an album by Sevendust, released in 2001. 4 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 15 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Praise”, on 9 lists with a best position of #34.
Animosity, Sevendust's third album, came out on TVT on November 13, 2001, and the Atlanta five-piece sound like they're trying to put a fist through the speakers. The band co-produced with a crew that included Ben Grosse, and the formula is theirs alone: Clint Lowery and John Connolly's guitars grinding like heavy machinery, Vinnie Hornsby and Morgan Rose locking into a rolling, bruising groove, and Lajon Witherspoon soaring over the top with a soul singer's voice where you'd expect a bark.
"Praise" is the headbanger, "Crucified" and "Live Again" keep the pressure on, and "Angel's Son" drops the armour, a tribute to Snot singer Lynn Strait, who died in a car accident in 1998. All four singles charted, and the record went gold by March 2002.
