Amaryllis will be heralded by the eagerly awaited new single, ‘Bully’ which is available for purchase at all digital retailers now
Shinedown frontman Brent Smith explains: “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 Grammy Award-winning producer Rob Cavallo (Kid Rock, Green Day), who previously collaborated with the band on 2008’s record-breaking The Sound of Madness, the album which proved Shinedown’s mainstream breakthrough and made rock music history, with each of its six singles reaching #1 on the airplay chart. Among them are such hits as ‘Diamond Eyes (Boom-Lay Boom-Lay Boom)’, ‘Devour’ and the double-platinum certified crossover smash, ‘Second Chance’ – all of which rose to the top of the airplay charts, marking a genuinely stunning streak of rock radio classics.
