Alter Bridge is a rock band hailing from Orlando, Florida, USA. Formed in 2004, the band has maintained its original lineup consisting of lead vocalist and guitarist <en>Myles Kennedy</en>, lead guitarist <en>Mark Tremonti</en>, bassist <en>Brian Marshall</en>, and drummer <en>Scott Phillips</en>. With their unwavering dedication to their craft, Alter Bridge has solidified themselves as one of the most influential rock bands of our time.

Known for their powerful vocals, intricate guitar work, and captivating stage presence, Alter Bridge's music resonates with fans worldwide. Their sound can be described as a fusion of hard rock and alternative metal, creating a unique sonic experience that sets them apart from other artists in the genre.

Inspired by iconic rock bands such as Creed and Stone Sour, Alter Bridge has carved out their own distinct identity within the music industry. Their emotionally charged lyrics coupled with their exceptional musicianship have earned them a dedicated fan base that spans across generations.

Since 2004, Alter Bridge has been one of the most consistent bands to successfully represent the rock and metal communities with their driving melodies, blazing guitar riffs and topical lyrics that resonate with fans around the globe. Their seventh album, Pawns &amp; Kings, continues that trend with 10 unforgettable new additions to their catalog. Coming off the launch of what was shaping up to be one of the band’s pinnacle moments with Walk The Sky (#1 US Billboard Top Albums, #1 US Current Rock and Hard Music, #4 UK Official Charts, #1 UK Independent and Rock/Metal, #5 Official German Album Charts), everything came to a halt as the world would forever be changed due to the events of a global pandemic.

The time the members of Alter Bridge spent apart sparked a new fire and heaviness when the quartet comprised of Myles Kennedy on vocals/guitars, Mark Tremonti on guitars/vocals, Brian Marshall on bass and Scott Phillips on drums would reconvene for what would eventually become Pawns &amp; Kings. Teaming with longtime producer and collaborator Michael “Elvis” Baskette, the album shines with massive, menacing arena-ready production while emerging as another sonic testament to the seasoned Kennedy/Tremonti songwriting dream-team. The band deliver three epic anthems, including two that clock in at over six minutes – the reflective and absolutely epic title track “Pawns &amp; Kings”, grim-riffed, progressive influenced “Sin After Sin”, and the emotive eight-and-a-half minute journey “Fable Of The Silent Son.” “Silver Tongue” is backed by a punishing intro riff that gives way to one of the band’s most infectious choruses as Myles Kennedy sings, “Truth of a crime. You can’t outrun. Under the spell of my silver tongue,” while tracks like “Holiday” and “Season Of Promise” ebb and flow within the trademark multi-faceted metallic rock attack that has enchanted Alter Bridge fans for a generation. Songs like “This Is War,” “Dead Among The Living” and “Last Man Standing” showcase the heavier side of a band firing on all cylinders, with soaring leads, hair-raising vocals and introspective lyricism abound. Mark Tremonti helms lead vocal duties on the uplifting track “Stay” – an interchanging of skills that first debuted on the band’s fourth album, Fortress, and continues to this day. Nearly 20 years into their celebrated career, one thing is for sure – Pawns &amp; Kings offers a musical snapshot of a band that shows no signs of slowing down and continues to push itself creatively for the whole world to see.
