Alter Bridge Lyrics & Tracklist – Myles Kennedy, Mark Tremonti, Brian Marshall, and Scott Phillips

Alter Bridge marks the eponymous eighth studio album from the acclaimed American hard rock quartet, scheduled for global release on January 9, 2026, via Napalm Records. Arriving over two decades into the band’s career, this self-titled effort serves as a definitive statement of their musical identity, following the success of their 2022 release, Pawns & Kings. The album was recorded over a two-month period during the spring of 2025 at the legendary 5150 Studio in California and producer Michael “Elvis” Baskette’s studio in Florida.

Album Description and Musical Style

The album is comprised of 12 original tracks that balance the band’s signature heavy riffing with progressive structures and soaring melodic hooks. A notable feature of this record is the vocal interplay between lead vocalist Myles Kennedy and lead guitarist Mark Tremonti. On tracks such as “Trust In Me” and “Tested And Able,” the two share lead vocal duties, alternating between verses and choruses. The record ranges from punchy, immediate rockers like “Disregarded” and “Power Down” to more atmospheric, introspective compositions like “What Lies Within.” The album concludes with “Slave To Master,” a nine-minute epic that stands as the longest recording in the band’s history.
