Shinedown

Shinedown was formed in 2001 and the following year the band signed to Atlantic Records. A lightning deal that foreshadowed what was to come. In 2003, their first album, Leave a Whisper, hit the charts. The Americans discovered the quartet's big sound and their gift for grandiloquent flights of fancy, and the album went platinum. This success was no fluke. Two years later, their single Save Me topped the Active Rock charts for 12 weeks in a row.

With their third album, The Sound of Madness, Shinedown have established themselves as the post-grunge rock band the world has been waiting for. Their single, Devour, reached number one on every rock chart when Second Chance reached number seven on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming their biggest hit. Across America, Shinedown resonates as a game opener while their powerful hits rock the radio waves. Gradually, the band reached European ears, with a tour that, for the first time, played at the Nouveau Casino in Paris.

Since their revelation, Shinedown has been making albums and touring. From small European venues, they have moved on to the biggest festivals, with a notable appearance on the main stage of Hellfest 2022. That year, they also released a new rock gem. After Attention Attention, which called for introspection, Planet Zero is a new album in the form of a concept, depicting a world "with zero common sense, zero responsibility, zero tolerance". A cry from the heart that once again makes their guitars roar to the sound of Brent Smith's intense and inimitable voice.
