"Amaryllis" was released on Atlantic Records in the United States and via Roadrunner elsewhere. Speaking about the album, Shinedown singer Brent Smith said that "During the recording [of "Amaryllis"], the vision of what Shinedown is and where it's going became completely clear. "Amaryllis" is the manifestation of that vision, the centerpiece of what Shinedown is. It reflects on everything we've done and where we're heading. It's a message of empowerment, perseverance, and inspiration that I think speaks to fans that have been with  us since the beginning as well as those who are just learning about who we are and what we're about." "Adrenaline" served as the official theme song to WWE's Extreme Rules (2012). The album's second single, "Unity", was released on May 15.
