Threat to Survival is an album by Shinedown, released in 2015. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 10 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Cut the Cord”, on 6 lists with a best position of #9.
Threat to Survival, Shinedown's fifth album, came out on Atlantic on September 18, 2015, after Amaryllis. Rob Cavallo produced it, recording at Ocean Way, and the Jacksonville band's settled lineup of singer Brent Smith, guitarist Zach Myers, bassist Eric Bass and drummer Barry Kerch comes out swinging.
It's arena rock with the muscle flexed and the hooks sharpened: stomping riffs, gang-shout choruses and Smith's big, raw voice pushed right to the front. "Black Cadillac" was put out as a teaser before release, then "Cut the Cord", "State of My Head", "Asking for It" and "How Did You Love" followed as singles, keeping them on rock radio, where Shinedown have made a habit of topping the charts. The album went gold in the US in February 2018.
