Hell Breaks Loose is the seventh studio album from Australian country singer Shane Nicholson, released on Lost Highway Australia, Universal in August 2015. It is the first album of new material since Nicholson's marriage break-up with Kasey Chambers in 2013.[1] The album peaked at number 16 on the ARIA Charts.
Upon release, the album was described by Country Music Channel as Nicholson's most personal collection with Nicholson saying "Many of these songs are about self-discovery and new horizons, and also how that's not always great, it can also sometimes be difficult. You can veer down a few wrong paths. It can take time to adjust."[2] Nicholson later added "I don't feel compelled to prove anything. I know with Hell Breaks Loose we came up with something that I loved. That's all that has ever mattered to me, really. The weight on your shoulders certainly feels greater when you are younger, and these days I'm just happy to be doing what I do, the way I like to do it."[3][4]
At the ARIA Music Awards of 2015, the album was won the ARIA Award for Best Country Album.[5]
At the Country Music Awards of Australia in January 2016, the album won the award for Alternative Country Album of the Year.[6]
