“This was always the vision for us…to bring ‘Eviscerate‘ and ‘Mend‘ to the stage the way their story was meant to unfold. In three cities, we’ll be performing both albums in full, back to back. Everywhere else, we’ll present a special set that blends the strongest moments from each record into one cohesive experience. After eighteen months off the road, we’re returning with our most ambitious show yet, grounded in gratitude and driven by a renewed fire. We can’t wait to share this chapter with everyone who’s been waiting for it.”

Shinedown have premiered a new video for their new song “Searchlight.” You can check that out below:
Vocalist Brent Smith said the following about the single:
“‘Searchlight‘ is a song about owning your true feelings. It’s an awakening of the soul. Lyrically it is a coming-of-age story that celebrates the moment you decide to go out into the world, and find your purpose. Musically it is an homage to all the music our parents, and grandparents brought us up on. It is a love letter to Americana, Rhythm and Blues, Bluegrass, Outlaw Country, and of course Rock ‘n’ Roll. The creative process for this song was quite a journey, and we hope all the ‘Fans/Family’ feel that authenticity in every note, and every word.”
He also added the following about the video:
“We needed the video to be artistic, but also to showcase a visual epiphany. This was our very first time working with director, Andrew Donoho, and to his credit, there was a different treatment in the beginning, to which I asked, ‘could we think a bit more outside the box?’ (You will understand the reference when you see the video.) Andrew did not miss a beat and told me and the band absolutely, let’s find something that is true to the song and also represents the band in the most honest way possible. In our opinion, he was able to capture the essence of the song, by using practical effects, and smart camera work. We hope everybody enjoys the video as much as we enjoyed making it.”
