SEVENDUST singer Lajon Witherspoon concludes, "So excited to come back to the UK and to be with our brothers in ALTER BRIDGE and SHINEDOWN. It's going to be an amazing run!"
Stay tuned for more ALTER BRIDGE news soon.
For over 15 years, ALTER BRIDGE has been a band known for blurring the line between hard rock and heavy metal. Building upon the sound that has won the band worldwide critical acclaim and a devoted global fan base, the band returns with their sixth studio album, Walk The Sky.
The album is scheduled for worldwide release on October 18th via Napalm Records. The fourteen-track opus marks a creative high point for the quartet - comprised of
Myles Kennedy on vocals/guitars, Mark
Tremonti on guitars/vocals, Brian
Marshall on bass, and Scott Phillips on drums. Walk The Sky draws upon elements from each of the band's previous releases to create something new.
Recorded in a way the band have never done before, the album was born from complete song ideas created by
Kennedy and Tremonti. These songs would then be worked on by the entire band to craft the fourteen songs that would make Walk The Sky the listening experience it is. This varies from the band's previous method (going back to their second release Blackbird) where
Kennedy and
Tremonti would combine individual ideas and riffs alongside producer Michael "Elvis" Baskette to form some of the band's most revered songs.
From the opening vocal melody on "One Life" to the moving finale of "Dying Light," ALTER BRIDGE have created a formidable addition to their music catalogue. Songs like "Godspeed," "Native Son", and "Walking On The Sky" are sure to be early additions to the live set. "Forever Falling" also marks a lead vocal return from
Tremonti with
Kennedy taking the chorus as done previously on the Fortress favourite, "Waters Rising." The first single"Wouldn't You Rather" is quintessential ALTER BRIDGE and will be released in two weeks, on Friday 28th June.
The album is now available for pre-order at
