ALTER BRIDGE: 'AB III' Track By Track - Part 1
October 11, 2010The first part of a track-by-track analysis of ALTER BRIDGE's new album, "AB III", with the band's frontman, Myles Kennedy, can be viewed below. By watching the clip you will be able to learn more about the tracks "Slip To The Void", "Isolation", "Ghost Of Days Gone By" and "All Hope Is Gone" — how the songs came together, who came in with what, how the tracks grew, and also the lyrical content of the songs and what Myles drew from for each of the tracks.
"AB III" will be released in North America on November 9 through Alter Bridge Recordings via EMI Label Services.
"AB III" is an incredibly intense and dynamic offering proving ALTER BRIDGE continues to grow and evolve with each album. "We went into the process of putting the record together with a lot of confidence," guitarist and band founder Mark Tremonti reveals, "but we didn't go into it looking to be commercial, or to have radio singles. We just wanted this to be an album that pleased us artistically, through and through."
Lyrically, the first two albums are based on themes immersed in hope and perseverance in the face of adversity. On "AB III", however, the theme has shifted. "This record is definitely a departure from the last two albums in terms of its subject matter. It touches on the thoughts and emotions of someone who has come to question everything that was once regarded as an absolute truth. It's the realization that everything you once believed in might not exist," Kennedy states.
The first single, "Isolation", is being well received at rock radio as it showcases ALTER BRIDGE's ability to play and write aggressively while maintaining their signature melodic component. However, "Isolation" is unlike previous singles in that it's moody and features very dark lyrics.
