Shinedown

April 2, 2018. Shinedown have built their name on rock songs both brutal in power and epic in scope. Now, with their latest album, Shinedown (Brent Smith, Barry Kerch, Eric Bass, and Zach Myers) veer away from that densely layered sonic palette and take a more direct approach. Featuring lead single "Cut the Cord" — a blistering track that shot to #1 on Active Rock radio — Threat to Survival finds the multi-platinum-selling band achieving their most powerful sound ever and offering up their most important album to date."There's always been a certain level of positivity with Shinedown — that's even where our name came from," says Smith. "There's a sense that everything that's bad has a little bit of good to it, just like everything that's good has a little bit of bad. The songs on this album address the reality that we're all going to die at some point and that sometimes the willingness to survive is all you have. It's about holding onto that sheer will to live, and getting through whatever might come your way because the legacy that you leave behind is what will carry you on to your next journey.".
