Description

Shinedown's highly anticipated third album, "The Sound Of Madness," opens with lead single "Devour." Its heavy onslaught of ripping guitars and relentless drums would not sound out of place on a Guitar Hero soundtrack. Of the album, frontman Brent Smith says "in the seven years of this thing called Shinedown, I've seen a lot of different things - what we've all gone through on teh road, things in our personal lives or witnessed firsthand through the fans that we've made and the relationships we've built with our audience." Their face-melting rock comes as no surprise, considering that the band hails from sultry Jacksonville, Florida.
