ALTER BRIDGE Announces Self-Titled Eighth Studio Album
Архив новостей | Русская версия
With more than two decades performing together, acclaimed rockers ALTER BRIDGE show no signs of slowing down. Known for its memorable riffs, infectious vocal melodies and dueling guitar attack, the quartet — comprised of Myles Kennedy on vocals/guitars, Mark Tremonti on guitars/vocals, Brian Marshall on bass and Scott Phillips on drums — has garnered massive critical and fan acclaim around the globe. The band looks to continue that trend with the release of its self-titled eighth studio album next year via Napalm Records. "Alter Bridge" will be made available on January 9, 2026, and the first physical formats can be pre-ordered now.
"Alter Bridge" is comprised of 12 all new tracks from the band and features some of its most iconic moments on record. Songs like "Rue The Day", "Disregarded" and "Scales Are Falling" will fit alongside any of the classic songs from ALTER BRIDGE's catalog. "Trust In Me" shows Myles and Mark sharing vocal duties as Myles handles the verse duties while Mark takes the chorus. That strategy is flipped on "Tested And Able" as Mark handles the verses and Myles takes on the choruses behind one of the band's heaviest intros to date, giving way to an unforgettable melody. "Hang By A Thread" is sure to become a show favorite as it hints at some of the most popular songs in the band's catalog. The album closer "Slave To Master" is an epic track that ALTER BRIDGE has come to be known for and is the longest song the quartet has recorded to date.
"Alter Bridge" was once again helmed by the band's longtime collaborator and producer Michael "Elvis" Baskette and was recorded over two months this past spring at the legendary 5150 studio in California and Elvis's recording studio in Florida.

ALTER BRIDGE will be touring in support of the release. The band is heading out on the "What Lies Within" tour. The 31-date European leg of the trek will kick off on January 15 in Germany and will wrap on March 5 in Nottingham, U.K. Support on the tour will come from DAUGHTRY and SEVENDUST. Public on-sale for all shows is July 18.
ALTER BRIDGE has announced one show for 2025. The band will play a rare acoustic set on October 1 in Nashville, Tennessee to support the Tremonti Family Charity Golf Outing. The outing is a benefit started by Tremonti to support the National Down Syndrome Society, an organization close to Mark after his daughter Stella was born with Down syndrome. The event will raise money for NDSS, an organization that engages grassroots advocates at the federal, state, and local levels and creates resources to support individuals with Down syndrome, their families, and caregivers across the lifespan on topics including education, employment, health and wellness, and aging.
