Shinedown singer Brent Smith and guitarist Zack Myers have not one, but two new albums coming out soon.

Smith & Myer's "Volume 1" will be released Oct. 9 and "Volume 2" comes out October 23.

For the first time, the duo are releasing original music, along with a selection of covers.

One of the covers is their version of Billie Eilish's "Bad Guy", and they recently shared a music video for the song.

What do you think of Smith & Myers take on "Bad Guy"?

Check out the video of their original song "Not Mad Enough" below.

Accoridng to Loudwire, Brent Smith says of their upcoming albums:

We've spent a great deal of time and energy making sure this project is completely authentic. The main reason Smith & Myers exists has to do with the fans. A project that was born from multiple requests over the years has now evolved into its true identity. Make no mistake - it's about the songs, it's about the story, and above all it's about the message."

Zack Myers adds,

"It was an odd time to make a record at the beginning of a global pandemic, but the state of the world is reflected in the art we made on this album. It was some of the most creative times I've ever had as a musician or a songwriter. For the covers, we felt that we should approach them as a duo as if we had written the song modern day. With the originals, Brent and I had never discussed some of this subject matter before and we dug so deep while also touching on a world that's rapidly changing around us the last eight months. We felt it would be disingenuous not to touch on social issues we ALL face as humans. We put a lot into this album and we truly hope you enjoy listening to it."
