Grammy Award-nominated rock powerhouse DAUGHTRY has announced a deluxe release of their acclaimed two-part project, 'Shock To The System (Deluxe)'.

This expanded edition brings together the full scope of the band's work, including live recordings that capture the visceral force and catharsis of their latest era.

The deluxe album will arrive on vinyl only on June 5 via Big Machine Rock with three variants available from daughtryofficial.store.

A double LP featuring two limited-edition color variants is widely available, while a glow-in-the-dark signed edition and metallic silver picture-disc are limited to just 250 copies each.

Across the 'Shock To The System' collection, Chris Daughtry channels grief, change, confrontation, and self-reclamation into some of the band's heaviest and most emotionally charged work to date.

From the industrial bite of "Artificial" and the raw release of "Pieces" to the hard-earned resilience of "The Bottom" and the stark vulnerability of "Antidote", 'Shock To The System (Deluxe)' traces the full arc of a person forced to face the wreckage, sit with the aftermath, and find the strength to move through it.

DAUGHTRY first launched this era with "Shock To The System (Part One)", their debut release with Big Machine Rock, which featured their back-to-back No.

1 singles "Artificial" and "Pieces".

The EP marked a heavier, more unguarded creative chapter for the band, pairing amplified production with Chris Daughtry's commanding vocals and an emotional throughline rooted in grief, healing, and the hard-won courage to say the quiet parts out loud.

With "Shock To The System (Part Two)", DAUGHTRY pushed that evolution even further.

The EP arrived as a hard-hitting and deeply personal body of work about the wake-up calls that force real change, featuring "The Seeds", "Divided", "The Day I Die", "The Bottom", "Terrified", "Razor" and "Antidote".

Speaking on the release, Chris previously shared: "This EP is ultimately about facing the things we've ignored within ourselves and confronting the wake-up calls that force us to go deeper.

These songs unlocked something very real, honest, and visceral in me as a writer and as a human being." Now, 'Shock To The System (Deluxe)' presents the complete picture.

The live recordings add another layer, pulling the songs out of the studio and into the charged space between band and audience.

The deluxe album follows a landmark run for DAUGHTRY, including their first-ever No.

1 at Active Rock with "Artificial", another No.

1 with "Pieces", major touring alongside BREAKING BENJAMIN, STAIND, CREED, DISTURBED and SEETHER, and continued praise for the heavier, fearless direction of their current era.

'Shock To The System (Deluxe)' track listing includes: 'The Reckoning', 'Artificial', 'Pieces', 'Shock To The System', 'Nervous', 'The Dam', 'The Seeds', 'Divided', 'The Day I Die', 'Terrified', 'Razor', 'Antidote', and live versions of these tracks.
