Description
For over 15 years, Alter Bridge has been a band known for blurring the line between hard rock and heavy metal. Building upon the sound that has won the band worldwide critical acclaim and a devoted global fan base, the band returns with their sixth studio album, Walk The Sky. The fourteentrack opus marks a creative highpoint for the quartet comprised of Myles Kennedy on vocalsguitars, Mark Tremonti on guitarsvocals, Brian Marshall on bass and Scott Phillips on drums. Walk The Sky is a complete career retrospective drawing upon elements from each of the bandrsquos previous releases to create something new from the band.Recorded in a way never done before, the album was born from complete song ideas created by Kennedy and Tremonti. These songs would then be worked on by the entire band to create the fourteen songs that would make Walk The Sky the listening experience it is.This varies from the bandrsquos previous method going back to their sophomore release Blackbird where Kennedy and Tremonti would combine individual ideas and riffs alongside producer Michael ldquoElvisrdquo Baskette to form some of the bandrsquos most revered songs. From the opening vocal melody on ldquoOne Liferdquo to the moving finale of ldquoDying Light,rdquo Alter Bridge have created a formidable addition to their music catalog. Songs like ldquoGodspeed,rdquo ldquoNative Sonrdquo and ldquoWalking On The Skyrdquo are sure to be early additions to the live set. The first single ldquoWouldnrsquot You Ratherrdquo is quintessential Alter Bridge and ldquoForever Fallingrdquo also marks a lead vocal return from Tremonti with Kennedy taking the chorus as done previously on the Fortress favorite ldquoWaters Rising.rdquo
