Alter Bridge is gearing up to drop the new album this fall, and we finally know what to expect when it arrives. Guitarist Mark Tremonti recently discussed the band’s next record in an interview with Kerrang! and revealed what they have in store.
The band’s new album Walk the Sky is scheduled to be released on October 18th, and Tremonti revealed they’ve tried to do something completely different with this record.
“It’s kinda like a John Carpenter movie – this old school synth-wave kind of vibe. We challenge ourselves to not repeat ourselves and find new inspiration to add a different layer to what we do,” said Tremonti.
Alter Bridge guitarist also described it as a complete opposite of their hit record AB III, and said they’ve embraced a much lighter sound with Walk the Sky.
“This one is the yang to the yin of that. AB III was kind of about a loss of faith and not believing. This is more of an enlightening, Zen kind of record – it’s not a preachy record by any means, it’s more of a free-spirited kind of thing,” concluded Tremonti.
