New Shinedown Single To Be Released Next Week

Get up, it’s time for new Shinedown.

Shinedown announced on social media that they will be releasing the first single off of their upcoming album on Wednesday, January 26. Singer Brent Smith recently said in an interview that the groups upcoming seventh studio album will have more of a stripped-down and raw sound when compared to their other records.

“What we wanted to do with this album was make it just as ferocious as the other records but not utilizing so much of some of the style that we’ve done in the past with layering and layering guitars, adding lots of synth beds, stacking the vocals.”

Smith also spoke on the lyrical themes within the upcoming record, saying that a lot of the inspiration comes from the ongoing pandemic as well as other events that have taken place between now and their most recent 2018 album, Attention Attention.

“Going through everything that the world went through last year, and we wrote the majority of the record last year, and this year, we couldn’t turn a blind eye to everything that was going on. And we talk on this record, and we express on this record — we’re not trying to dance around certain subject matter. We’re trying to be very honest and very real. In a lot of ways, this is a very humanitarian record.”

Shinedown was due to set out on a North American headlining tour at the end of January, but recently had  to postpone the entirety of the tour to COVID-19 restrictions and concerns. Shinedown will be stopping through The Sylvee in Madison on July 14, 2022.
