Sevendust, with Shawn Grove as producer/engineer once again, released their sixth studio album Alpha on March 6, 2007 via Warner-affiliated Asylum Records . It debuted at No. 14 in the US, the band’s highest chart position at that point, and went on to sell over 42,000 copies in its first week on sale. Alpha contained the album’s preceding internet track ” Deathstar “, in addition to ” Driven ” (which peaked in the top 10 of the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart). Alpha was the band’s second album featuring Mayo on rhythm guitar and the first with him as part of the writing process. The band headlined a 57-date tour in early 2007 with Diecast , Invitro, and Red .
