SHINEDOWN: 'Diamond Eyes (Boom-Lay Boom-Lay Boom)' Video Released

January 5, 2011

"Diamond Eyes (Boom-Lay Boom-Lay Boom)", the new video from Jacksonville, Florida rockers SHINEDOWN, can be viewed below. The song is a digital single, written for the 2010 movie "The Expendables". The song was released on iTunes on June 15, 2010, and to other online retailers on June 21, 2010.

Regarding how the song came about, SHINEDOWN lead singer Brent Smith stated in a 2010 interview, "A few months ago we got a phone call from a very interesting individual. It's not every day that Rambo and Rocky call you at the same time. Sylvester Stallone wanted a song for his new movie, called 'The Expendables'. He said write me something that will personify not only the South, but what rock truly is."

SHINEDOWN issued a deluxe CD/DVD reissue of its 2008 album, "The Sound Of Madness", on November 23, but the band isn't finished putting out DVDs just yet. Brent Smith told The Pulse of Radio that a massive double-disc set documenting both the band's "Carnival Of Madness" tour last summer and its current acoustic run will come out sometime this year. "We're gonna give both the shows at the same time in one package, so you'll have the electric show and you'll also get the acoustic show," he said. "And there will be, you know, another disc involved in that which is just gonna be the last two-and-a-half years, all the behind-the-scenes footage and all the flipcam stuff and, you know, all the places we went all over the world and this, that and the other. We're gonna compile that down to, I'd say, an hour and a half of just bonus material and just features and getting to see, you know, us, what it's like behind the curtain."

A release date for the double DVD has not been confirmed.

The new reissue of "The Sound Of Madness" features limited edition B-sides, alternative versions of several album tracks, and songs previously heard only on movie soundtracks. The DVD portion of the set contains all the music videos from the album, plus live performances filmed in 2009 in Atlanta.
