Shinedown release new song ‘Planet Zero’

SHINEDOWN have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Planet Zero, is the title track from the American rock band’s upcoming new album (the follow-up to 2018’s ATTENTION ATTENTION) which is scheduled to be released in April this year, via Atlantic Records.

Speaking about the new song, frontman Brent Smith says, “if we shut each other down and allow ourselves to be divided by the information we consume and the way we talk to each other, we lose our humanity. When you look outside of your phone, you’ll see there are so many people doing good things and trying to take care of each other. But we’re starting to see parts of society slip into an unknown. Planet Zero was written for all of us. The fact is that we’re all here on this planet no matter what, so it’s time to actually move forward together with empathy, perseverance and strength. With that said….welcome to Planet Zero.”

The upcoming album was produced by the band’s own Eric Bass (who also produced ATTENTION ATTENTION) and recorded at Bass’ newly built Big Animal Studio in South Carolina. The upcoming album intends to match its immersive world-building and takedown of authoritarianism with a deliberately unvarnished sound.
