Rock goliaths Shinedown have announced they will be releasing their new studio album EI8HT on May 29th via Atlantic Records and have released huge new song “Safe And Sound.”
The release follows a landmark year that saw four major singles unveiled which are included on the album – three #1 US radio hits: “Three Six Five“, “Dance, Kid, Dance,” and “Killing Fields” – along with “Searchlight“, which the band debuted at the iconic Grand Ole Opry and continues to climb at US radio. The 18-track album balances arena-sized rock with deeply introspective, relatable lyrics, delivering something for everyone and reaffirming Shinedown’s identity as a band for everyone.
In addition, Shinedown have announced their massive Dance Kid Dance Act II World Tour, taking the band to 11 countries across 53 dates, including stops throughout North America, the United Kingdom, and Europe so far.
On the new album, upcoming world tour, and working with longtime bandmate & producer of the record Eric Bass, frontman Brent Smith says: “This album is over a year in the making. Without question as a band we pushed ourselves like never before. Especially when it comes to Eric. Myself, Zach, and Barry are so honoured to create, and work with such an extraordinary producer, engineer, mixer, songwriter, musician, performer, and band mate. We are so excited to finally announce our 8th studio album titled EI8HT alongside our Dance Kid Dance Act ll World Tour.”
He continues, describing new song “Safe And Sound”: “Safe And Sound is about reminding the competition what they are dealing with one by one.”
