Shihad supported AC/DC for the New Zealand leg of that group’s Black Ice World Tour in January and February 2010. Also in January Shihad’s new single “Cold Heart” was released, and was followed by “Sleepeater” (April) and “Lead or Follow” (July). “Sleepeater” is the only one to reach the local top 50. The singles appeared ahead of their eighth studio album, Ignite (24 September 2010) via Roadrunner Records /WEA, which was produced by the group. It debuted at number one in New Zealand, their fourth number-one studio album, and eventually achieved a gold certification. In Australia it peaked in the top 50. The band toured New Zealand in August 2010 performing their earlier albums Killjoy and The General Electric in full.
