Shinedown have announced the release of their much-anticipated new album. Threat To Survival – the US multi-platinum certified rock band’s first new album in three years.

"Threat To Survival refers to that primal instinct in all of us that determines how we respond to crisis and conflict – the idea of ‘fight or flight’ and the choices we make in any given situation,” explains Shinedown frontman Brent Smith. “This album represents those deciding moments for us as a band. It’s a collection of scenarios that made us who we are, and is, by far, the most autobiographical album we’ve created to date.”

Threat To Survival follows 2012’s US gold certified Amaryllis. The album – which includes the #1 US rock radio smash, Cut The Cord. Cut The Cord - produced by Shinedown’s own Eric Bass - arrived last month and fast ascended to #1 at US Active Rock radio. The single’s immediate success continues a record-setting streak in which every one of the 19 singles released over Shinedown’s decade-plus career has ascended to the upper regions of the US radio charts – a feat that no other rock band has achieved.
