Shinedown Announce New Album ‘EI8HT’

Shinedown have revealed the details of their long-awaited new album, alongside the dates of a massive world tour.


It’s going to be called ‘EI8HT’ and will be yours on May 29 via Atlantic Records. It serves as the follow-up to 2022’s ‘Planet Zero’ and comprises 18 tracks. They include the previously released  ‘Dance, Kid, Dance’, ‘Three Six Five’, 'Killing Fields' and ‘Searchlight’.

Produced by bassist Eric Bass, it’s very much a family affair, something that frontman Brent Smith is very proud of.

He had this to say about it:

“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.”

The full tracklisting looks like this:

1. At The Bottom
2. Dance, Kid, Dance
3. Burning Down The Disco
4. Three Six Five
5. Young Again
6. Dizzy
7. Imposter
8. Machine Gun
9. Outlaw
10. Safe and Sound
11. Searchlight
12. Bear With Me
13. Deep End
14. Killing Fields
15. Back To The Living
16. Wide Open
17. So Glad That You Asked

The band have also released a new song. That is ‘Safe and Sound’, and it is a sporadic, riff-laden epic. Spiky, soaring and sensationally brash, it showcases the band’s incredible knack for leftfield hard rock in abundance. You can just see the flames bursting around the band as they play this one live.
