Devour (3:48)
From Devour and 6 other releases
“Devour” is a song recorded and performed by the hard rock band Shinedown. The song was released as the first single in promotion of the band’s third studio album, The Sound of Madness. The track landed online and at multi-format rock radio outlets nationwide on May 5th. As has been the case with other new singles by bands such as Disturbed, Theory of a Deadman, and Seether, “Devour” is so far Shinedown’s fastest rising single to date, reaching the top five of the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in four weeks.
In a No. 1 countdown interview, vocalist Brent Smith said that the single was “a letter to the President,” and that it is about Smith’s distaste towards George W. Bush. It is currently the band’s second most successful single, with “Second Chance” being the first. It is their second #1 song on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.
The music video to “Devour” is set in a music studio for most of the video, where the band is performing the song, with various stunts being shown throughout the video. At points during the video, the rail track in which the camera rolls on in order to get some of the shots going around the band and the dancers are visible.
At the beginning of the video, it shows the band setting up their instruments with periodic shots of a flag with Shinedown’s previous “S” logo that was on their Leave a Whisper album before cutting to the performance in the warehouse. These shots also join the other elements of the video during the bridge.
