Shinedown, who have sold several million albums worldwide over the last decade are joining up with Roadrunner on a worldwide basis for everywhere on the planet except the US of A, where they remain on their longtime home Atlantic Records.

Amaryllis will hit the shelves (both physical and digital) on March 26th 2012. The first single from Amaryllis will be entitled Bully, which has just been released and you can check it out below.
