Shinedown have released a video for Attention Attention, the title track of the band's sixth studio album.

"Attention Attention is a warning," frontman Brent Smith told Classic Rock. "It's like your alter ego jumps into the room all of a sudden, and starts messing you with you and pushing you around a little bit."

"As we embark on the next chapter of Attention Attention we arrive in a world with a much different stream of consciousness than the previous four chapters," he adds. "This chapter dubbed 'The Alarm' begs the question: Is reality even real?”

The video for Attention Attention was directed by Bill Yukich, who has previously worked with Beyoncé, Marilyn Manson, Wiz Khalifa, Foo Fighters, Metallica and Nine Inch Nails

Shinedown are currently on tour in the US, supported by Papa Roach, Asking Alexandria, and Savage After Midnight. 

The band return to Europe in November with Alter Bridge, a run that includes six UK shows in the buildup to Christmas, culminating with a date at London's O2 on December 21. Tickets are on sale now
