Shinedown are now signed to Roadrunner Records in the UK - and all territories excluding the USA (where they remain with Atlantic). Their forthcoming new album ’Amaryllis’ will hit stores and digital retailers on March 26, 2012.

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.” 

 

The album was recorded at Rob Cavallo’s Lighning Sound Studio outside of Hollywood. Cavallo previously collaborated with the band on 2008’s ‘The Sound Of Madness’.
