Shinedown are set to release single ‘Devour’ (review) on November 17 (digital November 10) via Atlantic Records. The track is taken from forthcoming album ‘The Sound Of Madness’, produced by multiple Grammy Award-winner Rob Cavallo, which will be released in March 2009 (it debuted at number 8 on the Billboard 200 in June). The band will also be returning to the UK (live review and photos) in January following a storming run of dates with Disturbed this month.

The Jacksonville, Florida-based fivesome exploded onto the US rock scene in 2003 with their RIAA platinum-certified breakthrough debut, ‘Leave A Whisper’. 2005 saw the release of sophomore album ‘Us and Them’, the RIAA gold-certified record that yielded the blockbusting single ‘Save Me’ – a track which dominated the airwaves holding down the number one spot in the mainstream rock charts for a stunning twelve consecutive weeks. The success of ‘Save Me’ was followed by two further Top 5 hits – ‘Heroes’ and ‘I Dare You.’ An introductory four track download is available for free now at SHINEDOWN It features ‘Fly From The Inside’ their debut single taken from album ‘Leave A Whisper’, the aforementioned ‘Save Me’ and two tracks from forthcoming album ‘Sound Of Madness’; ‘Cyanide Sweet’ and ‘Sound Of Madness’.

From the start, Shinedown have proven to be true road warriors, touring non-stop to bring their hard-edged rock ‘n’ roll to fans across the US. The band has performed countless headline dates, and shared stages with the likes of Seether, Van Halen, 3 Doors Down, Rob Zombie, and Godsmack. They recently wowed UK audiences supporting Disturbed on their October Tour. They will be back in the UK early next year. Confirmed Dates so far are as follows:
Wed 21 Jan 2009 London Underworld
Thu 22 Jan 2009 Manchester Academy
Fri 23 Jan 2009 Glasgow King Tuts
Sun 25 Jan 2009 Birmingham Barfly
