Re-teaming with The Sound of Madness producer Rob Cavallo (Green
Day, My Chemical Romance, Kid Rock) Shinedown presents its fourth
full-length album - the bruising, unapologetic, and totally kinetic
Amaryllis. Amaryllis, with unflinchingly honest, unrepentant songs
like first single "Bully" and "I'm Not All Right, " as well as the
deeply moving "Miracle" and the soulful love song "I'll Follow You,
" delivers on its mission statement throughout its 12 tracks. From
a thematic standpoint, Amaryllis is a record about vulnerability.
It reveals the bruises and scars, but also their healing. "It's not
a record for the faint of heart, " Smith admits. "Every single song
makes a statement. I was looking for the kind of emotion that made
every hair on the back of my neck stand on end. Because of that, I
feel in my heart and soul that this album is a game changer for our
band." Six songs on Amaryllis feature a 30-piece orchestra,
including "I'm Not All Right" - Shinedown's first-ever song to
incorporate horns, which drive home the manic intensity of its
subject matter. Another highlight is "Bully, " which finds Smith
addressing the tormentor in question in the strongest possible
terms. "Amaryllis is probably the most rock and roll album we've
ever made, " Smith says. "We've always been a rock band, and I
didn't want to lose sight of that. I told everyone the album had to
do three things: It had to show sophistication in the songwriting,
it had to show musical growth within the band, and I had to push
myself to go places lyrically that I had never gone before. "
