Former SEVENDUST Guitarist Says He Was 'Thrilled' About His Replacement

February 25, 2005

Former SEVENDUST/current DARK NEW DAY guitarist Clint Lowery has issued a statement explaining his departure from SEVENDUST and expressing his enthusiasm for his new project. The statement reads as follows:

"First I'd like to thank everyone for their comments and support. It means a lot to everyone in the band and we appreciate it deeply. I'd like to give everyone some DARK NEW DAY updates and also comment on my departure from SEVENDUST.

"I'm happy to say that we're getting ready to start rehearsals in March for our first tour. We plan on posting the progress of rehearsals on the myspace site and the official DARK NEW DAY web site when it's finished. I'm very excited about the artwork that's being done by Paul Bauda for our record '12 Year Silence' that is slated to be released in June. And for those that don't know the members of DARK NEW DAY have known each other most of our lives and to be doing this together is time something we've wanted for a long. I realize that some of you might have been friends and fans of the previous bands we've been apart of over the years, so we hope that you enjoy DARK NEW DAY and embrace it with an open mind. I feel that touring is the best way to connect with people and if you pay for a show you should get a show and I speak for everyone in the band when I say we'll do everything we can to give you what you deserve.

"I know that some of you had questions and concerns about my departure from SEVENDUST. First, I'd like to say that I respect and love everyone in that band and have been through too much and bled too much over the years to ever feel any differently PERIOD! When the DARK NEW DAY project came to be I had full intentions on recording on the new SEVENDUST record. But because of the attention, focus, and dedication it takes to exist in both entities, and both bands deserve, it was decided that SEVENDUST and I end our musical ties. I wish them nothing but the best and was thrilled to hear Sonny Mayo [ex-SNOT, AMEN] was hired on. I cannot and will not speak on their behalf on their feelings toward me. I'd like to express my gratitude to the SEVENDUST fans for all of your support over the years and hope that you continue to support both SEVENDUST and DARK NEW DAY."
