The signature rocker from the acclaimed quartet explores the moment of realization that comes with uncovering deception and the emotional impact truth carries once revealed. \u201cIt\u2019s when you realize the reality of a situation where you\u2019ve been deceived,\u201d Myles Kennedy explains. \u201cYou see the truth and how harsh it is.\u201d The track arrives with a visualizer created by Marcin Pospiech, known for his work with Nine Inch Nails and Tool.<\/p>\n<p>Mark Tremonti notes his excitement for the track. \u201cIt has an atmospheric vibe with a lot of peaks, valleys, and moods. I solo over the bridge, and Myles plays the outro.\u201d The forthcoming album features 12 brand-new tracks that rank among the band\u2019s most compelling work, with songs like \u201cRue the Day\u201d, \u201cDisregarded\u201d, and \u201cWhat Are You Waiting For\u201d standing alongside catalog staples. \u201cTrust in Me\u201d highlights the powerful vocal chemistry between Kennedy and Tremonti, with Myles leading verses and Mark commanding the chorus, an approach they reverse on the crushingly heavy \u201cTested and Able\u201d. \u201cHang by a Thread\u201d channels the energy of fan-favorite anthems while album closer \u201cSlave to Master\u201d delivers an epic finale as the longest track the band has ever recorded.<\/p>\n<p>The album\u2019s first single \u201cSilent Divide\u201d continues its ascent at Active Rock radio, approaching six million views on YouTube. Longtime producer Michael \u201cElvis\u201d Baskette joined the band for the project, recorded over two months this spring at the legendary 5150 Studios in California and at Baskette\u2019s studio in Florida. With more than two decades as one of rock\u2019s most consistently acclaimed bands, Alter Bridge continue pushing forward with their renowned towering riffs, infectious melodies, and masterful guitar interplay from Kennedy, Tremonti, Brian Marshall on bass, and Scott Phillips on drums.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo Credit: Chuck Brueckmann Alter Bridge return with \u201cScales Are Falling\u201d, the final song released ahead of their&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":235302,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[119370,119811,119812,93,61,60,119813,119371,119814,278,119372,88508,44609,33427,2487],"class_list":{"0":"post-235301","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-alter-bridge","9":"tag-brian-marshall","10":"tag-elvis-baskette","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-ie","13":"tag-ireland","14":"tag-marcin-pospiech","15":"tag-mark-tremonti","16":"tag-michael-baskette","17":"tag-music","18":"tag-myles-kennedy","19":"tag-napalm-records","20":"tag-nine-inch-nails","21":"tag-scott-phillips","22":"tag-tool"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235301","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=235301"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235301\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/235302"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=235301"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=235301"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=235301"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
