Biography
An American multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer of wide-ranging output, Clint Lowery gained widest recognition for his role as guitarist and backing vocalist in Atlanta hard rock and nu-metal outfit Sevendust, whose heavy riffs paired with melodic hooks delivered substantial sales throughout the late 1990s and 2000s. Beyond that flagship project he has performed with the metal supergroups Dark New Day and Call Me No One, served as touring guitarist for both Korn and Seether, and issued solo recordings under his own name as well as the alias Clint Lowery’s Hello Demons Meet Skeletons.
Lowery entered the world in Jacksonville, Florida, and in 1989 formed Still Rain with vocalist Donnie Hamby, future Evanescence and DoubleDrive guitarist Troy McLawhorn, his brother and future Saint Asonia and Stuck Mojo bassist Corey Lowery, plus future Danzig and Madfly drummer Bevan Davies. He became a member of Sevendust in 1996; the band subsequently issued several albums that reached the top of the charts, three of them—Sevendust (1997), Home (1999), and Animosity (2001)—earning gold certification.
In 2004 Lowery departed the group to join his brother Brett Hestla of Virgos Merlot, former Still Rain colleague Troy McLawhorn, and Skrape’s Will Hunt in the active-rock supergroup Dark New Day, whose debut album Twelve Year Silence appeared the following year. Two years later he joined Korn’s touring lineup as live guitarist, yet his tenure ended after seven months when he was arrested in Slovakia following the destruction of his hotel room. Lowery returned to Sevendust in 2008 and performed on the band’s eighth studio album, Cold Day Memory, which became their highest-charting debut to that point. During the same year he wrote and recorded the introspective six-song EP Chills, issued under the Hello Demons Meet Skeletons banner. Two further EPs followed under that name in 2011, and Dark New Day delivered its second full-length album, New Tradition, in 2012.
Also in 2012 Lowery collaborated with Sevendust drummer Morgan Rose on the album Last Parade, released under the Call Me No One moniker. Dark New Day’s Hail Mary surfaced in 2013, the same year Sevendust put out Black Out the Sun. Lowery maintained a steady release schedule with his primary band, including the 2018 album All I See Is War, and in 2020 he issued his Rise Records solo debut God Bless the Renegades. The record was produced and co-written by Michael “Elvis” Baskette (Slash, Alter Bridge) and featured drumming by Wolfgang Van Halen.
