"Denial" comes off Home, the 1999 Sevendust album on TVT, and it's nu metal at full tilt: John Connolly and Clint Lowery grinding their guitars into a low, heavy churn, Vinnie Hornsby's bass underneath and Morgan Rose pounding away on drums. Lajon Witherspoon handles the lead vocal, riding all that pummeling.
Lowery and Rose wrote the words, the band shares the music credit, and Toby Wright recorded it and produced it with the band before Andy Wallace mixed it into a punishing, polished roar.
