The video arrives as <a href=\"https:\/\/shinedown.lnk.to\/planetzerosingle\">&#8220;Planet Zero&#8221;<\/a> hits #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay Chart this week. The explosive single, the title track from the band\u2019s seventh studio album out April 22 on Atlantic Records, is Shinedown\u2019s 17<sup>th<\/sup> #1 and sixth consecutive chart-topper, breaking a new record for the most #1s in the 40-year history of the chart.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><em>Directed by Charles De Meyer, the video brings to life a glimpse of a dystopian future (complete with a menacing A.I. character named Cyren from the album\u2019s interludes who we hear at the end of the music video) that warns of the dangerous dehumanizing consequences of cancel culture run rampant.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><em>On Planet Zero, Shinedown is serving up an incisive look at some of society\u2019s most critical issues, including the increasingly toxic division among those of differing ideologies, the need for honesty in our public discourse, and the corrosive effects of social media and cancel culture on mental health and humanity. The \u201cPlanet Zero\u201d single rings the alarm with a cautionary warning that if we shut each other down, we risk losing empathy, respect for one another, and our ability to communicate and unify in a way that leads to actual progress and understanding.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><em>\u201cWe wanted the first visual of \u2018Planet Zero\u2019 to be unlike anything we have done previously. We chose to work with visionary director Charles De Meyer. We did not want a traditional music video feel &#8211; we wanted avant-garde, thought-provoking and surreal. Make no mistake, there is a message in the visual, a warning of what is to come, if society does not wake up, and demand the truth be told. Welcome to PLANET ZERO\u2026,\u201d says Brent Smith.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><em>Pre-order Planet Zero <a href=\"http:\/\/shinedown.lnk.to\/planetzero\">HERE<\/a>.

While a raw ferocity fuels much of Planet Zero on tracks like \u201cThe Saints of Violence and Innuendo,\u201d \u201cNo Sleep Tonight,\u201d and \u201cAmerica Burning,\u201d there is also hope, triumph, and reminders that we all need one another on songs like \u201cDaylight,\u201d \u201cDysfunctional You,\u201d and \u201cA Symptom of Being Human.\u201d \u00a0After all, it is the band\u2019s\u00a0impassioned striving for unity\u00a0that\u00a0has long been at the heart of their creative output and deeply informed the making of\u00a0Planet Zero.\u00a0Not only a driving force for their songwriting,\u00a0their\u00a0humanitarian\u00a0outlook\u00a0led Shinedown to be one of the first artists to fundraise for non-profit humanitarian aid organization\u00a0Direct Relief\u00a0in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, raising more than $400,000 with their \u201cAtlas Falls\u201d relief effort.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><em>Shinedown will kick off The Revolution\u2019s Live Tour beginning April 1, propelled by the undeniable power of front man\u00a0Brent Smith\u2019s voice and their biggest stage production yet.\u00a0 Following this April and May run with special guests The Pretty Reckless and DIAMANTE, Shinedown will head to Daytona Beach for Welcome To Rockville 2022 where they\u2019ll headline Saturday, May 21 alongside Guns N\u2019 Roses and Rise Against.
