Amaryllis (Shinedown album)

Amaryllis is the fourth studio album by American rock band Shinedown. It was announced on January 3, 2012, the same day as the first single, "Bully," was released, for release on March 27, with pre-orders opening on January 17.[13] A music video for the song "Unity" was released on March 12.[14] An e-book about the making of Amaryllis, titled For Your Sake: Inside the Making of Amaryllis, was released concurrently with the album.[15]

The album was recorded at Lightning Sound Studios, Ocean Way Recording, No Excuses Studios and Capitol Studios, and was produced by Rob Cavallo, who also produced the band's previous album, The Sound of Madness.[13] Amaryllis was released on Atlantic Records in the United States[16] and via Roadrunner elsewhere.[17]

Speaking about the album, Shinedown singer Brent Smith said that "During the recording [of Amaryllis], the vision of what Shinedown is and where it's going became completely clear. Amaryllis is the manifestation of that vision, the centerpiece of what Shinedown is. It reflects on everything we've done and where we're heading. It's a message of empowerment, perseverance, and inspiration that I think speaks to fans that have been with us since the beginning as well as those who are just learning about who we are and what we're about."[13] "Adrenaline" served as the official theme song to WWE's Extreme Rules (2012).[18] The album's second single, "Unity", was released on May 15.[19] The album's third single, "Enemies" was used as the theme song to WWE Raw from July 25, 2016, to January 22, 2018.[20]

The album was certified Gold by both the RIAA and Music Canada, and Silver by the British Phonographic Industry.
