Shinedown have announced the much-anticipated release of their new album 'Amaryllis', which is to arrive in stores and at all digital retailers on March 26th, 2012.
Shinedown will give fans the first chance to hear recordings from 'Amaryllis', with new single, 'Bully' – coming to radio soon! The track is Shinedown’s first new music since all six singles from 2008’s 'The Sound Of Madness' hit Number One on the US Rock Radio Chart.
Shinedown frontman Brent Smith comments, “I’ve always seen Shinedown as its own entity – this living thing that’s been growing and developing and evolving over the past 10 years. During the recording, the vision of what Shinedown is and where it’s going became completely clear.
‘Amaryllis’ is the manifestation of that vision, the centerpiece of what Shinedown is. It reflects on everything we’ve done and where we’re heading. It’s a message of empowerment, perseverance, and inspiration that I think speaks to fans that have been with us since the beginning as well as those who are just learning about who we are and what we’re about. I can’t wait for the world to hear it.”
'Amaryllis' sees Shinedown joining forces once more with multiple Grammy Award-winning producer Rob Cavallo (Kid Rock, Green Day), who previously collaborated with the band on 'The Sound Of Madness.' That album proved Shinedown’s mainstream breakthrough, debuting at Number Eight on the Billboard 200 before spending 120 consecutive weeks on the chart.
Shinedown return to the UK for a handful of headline dates in February, with Halestorm supporting.
