Three years have passed since Shinedown released their last studio record. Since the 18th September 2015, Threat To Survival is available worldwide – and is in no way inferior to its predecessor Amaryllis.
The new record is about development. Personal
development. And it is about solidarity. The band’s solidarity is clearly
perceptible and the development cannot be overseen. The record is homogenous
but so much different from everything the band has done before; better.
Especially the focus on rhythm is striking, which can
be found in every single song. With regard to content, the band has gone back
all the way to their very beginning. The songs talk about finding one’s very
own way and becoming the person you really are, about being brave and
developing oneself, about being different. Still, the development of the band
members is clearly visible here. They went through this development, they broke
free from what held them back. The tone is more positive now, more motivating.
Where there was “indecision” in Burning
Bright from the first album Leave A
Whisper, there is now place for clear words and clear sounds.
Threat To
Survival has a noticeable own style which is seen through
consequently, but the record is not at all monotonous. It is possibly the best
record Shinedown released so far.
Within the next days, I will post a review for every song of Threat To Survival - one every day. Stay tuned.
