Truly experiencing the power of rock music together.  This year, we’ve gathered artists from across the rock spectrum to bring the most dynamic Carnival of Madness to date.  Come join us.”

Shinedown’s latest single, “State Of My Head,” has been yet another milestone for the American rock band, topping charts and reaching the #1 spot at Mainstream Rock Outlets nationwide.  This single has become the band’s 10^th single to top the chart.  The album itself, titled, “Threat to Survival” (2015), is Shinedown’s fifth studio album and first new release in three years.  “Threat to Survival” has scaled the Billboard 200, arriving at the #5 spot overall while debuting the top of Billboard’s “Rock Albums” and “Top Hard Rock Albums” lists.  “State of My Head” is accompanied in Shinedown’s extensive list of well-known hits by the band’s hit-singles “Devour”, “The Crow & The Butterfly”, “Enemies”, “Fly From The Inside”, “Second Chance”, “The Sound of Madness”, and “If You Only Knew”.  Other Shinedown albums include platinum album, “Leave a Whisper” (2003), gold album, “Us and Them” (2005), “The Sound of Madness” (2008), and “Amaryllis” (2012).
