One is the fifteenth studio album by the American rock band Sevendust. The album was released on May 1, 2026, by Napalm Records. Four songs were showcased from the album ahead of its full release; the lead single "Unbreakable", along with three other promotional songs and singles "Is This the Real You", "Threshold", and "Construct".
Writing and recording One was written during the initial creative sessions for the album, which began in early 2025 at the farmhouse of Lajon Witherspoon and was officially recorded at Studio Barbarosa in Gotha, Florida, in the fall of 2025. It was produced by the band’s longtime collaborator Michael "Elvis" Baskette, who also handled the mixing. The engineering was provided by Jef Moll and Josh Saldate.

Reception
Commercial performance "Unbreakable" peaked at No. 21 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, which continued Sevendust's streak of appearances on the aforementioned chart (dating back to their self-titled debut album). One became the group's first record to miss the Billboard 200 albums chart.
Critical reception Kerrang! praised the album, concluding that "Yes, it's easy to be cynical about bands like Sevendust who essentially offer different takes on the same thing. But when it's this consistent, this unstoppable, it does make you step back and salute the hard-working progenitors, in this case a quintet that have mastered their art.
