A month on from their main stage triumph at Download, Shinedown are back with new music.
The band have just unveiled new single Killing Fields, which vocalist Brent Smith explains is very much up for interpretation: “Killing Fields is not a song that has one specific meaning,” he says. “The subject matter in this song cannot be prioritised to one specific opinion. The audience is the boss, and they should have the freedom to interpret it the way they hear it, feel it, and experience it.
“What I will say is that the song is meant to push you, to inspire you to think for yourself, and ask questions… We all know we are living in complicated times… The true question is, how will you respond?
“So without further ado… Welcome to the Killing Fields.”
