Shinedown - Sound Of MadnessShinedown – Sound Of Madness

Shinedown are on their way to becoming massive in the UK, they need to thank Disturbed for bringing them over to the UK on their UK tour during October 2008 as that was the first the majority of the UK had heard of Shinedown despite the success they have been enjoying in America for some time now, anyway they went down a storm at the Disturbed shows and have been teasing their new found UK fans ever since then with the release of massive free download packs of different songs and the official single release of their debut UK single ‘Devour’ which was simply amazing.

The band are now back in America after just completing a small tour of the UK but it seems like they pretty much have their next few months planned with the release of their next single ‘Sound Of Madness’ on the 23rd February and then the album of the same name on the 2nd March.

‘Sound Of Madness’ is an heavy yet melodic rock track, that’s going to get peoples feet and whole body’s moving in the pit at the bands gigs and the dance floors of many rock clubs across the world, the song has a bit of a rap-rock feel about it, kind of similar to the nu-metal style music of bands such as P.O.D and even Seether and overall the song is massive sounding and makes me want to get hold of the new Shinedown album even more.

After the success of their debut UK single release ‘devour’, and their sold out mini UK tour it’s pretty much guaranteed that 2009 is going to be a big year for Shinedown, the new single ‘Sound Of Madness’ is going to expand their profile and once the album of the same name is released in just over an month you can expect Shinedown madness to be unleashed across the UK and this to be there second home with tours and festival appearances in sight.

5/5
