In October 2009, Sevendust began recording a new album at Groovemaster Studios in Chicago, Illinois with producer Johnny K, who had produced other albums for successful rock acts such as Disturbed, Staind, Finger Eleven, and 3 Doors Down. Clint Lowery's brother Corey Lowery (ex-Stereomud & Dark New Day, currently of Eye Empire) also aided the band in their recording process. The band re-launched their official website with a new design to promote the album. Stepping out of the box from regular recording sessions the band showed the fans how the album was created, with virtually every step of the process being chronicled through a series of video blogs, which were posted on the revamped official site and accompanying YouTube channel. These near-daily "vlogs" that the band posted on the site consisted of updates on the progress of the new album, as well as footage of the band mates living in the new "house" in which they were recording from.
Guitarist Clint Lowery, who rejoined Sevendust in March 2008, commented, "This record personally has been one of the most difficult, but most rewarding records I've ever worked on. I put a lot of pressure on myself to contribute good material to the guys after being gone for last three records and that helped me focus more than I ever had." Added Witherspoon, "I feel this album shows new growth for the band. We're very happy to have Clint back and are looking forward for everyone hearing the magic that's made when we're all together!"[3]
On January 20, 2010, drummer Morgan Rose revealed to Scotty "Bunz Of" Steele of Spokane, Washington's Rock 94 1/2 radio station that the band's forthcoming album will be titled Cold Day Memory.[4]
On December 22, 2009, the band announced that the tracking for the album was complete, and it is currently in the mixing process for an April 2010 release. They are taking a break and performed a few concerts in late December 2009 and a few in early to late January 2010.
On January 31, 2010, Sevendust posted this on their official website: "It's getting close to time to previewing a new song for all of you. Keep an eye out this week and next for a new song that we will post for everyone that has been waiting. We wanted to release a preview to the hardcore fans that have been with us, and give you a taste of what's to come. Still putting together the final touches, but the second the song is ready we'll have it up for all to hear. We want you to have something fresh to listen to to gear up for the new tour coming in February."
The track "Forever Dead" was made available for streaming on the band's official MySpace page and Youtube account on February 5, 2010. That same day, "Unraveling" made its debut on Sirius XM's Octane station.
