Alter Bridge english Biography

Overview

Alter Bridge is an American rock band formed by Brian Marshall (bassist), Scott Phillips (drummer), Mark Tremonti (guitarist) (members of Creed) and Myles Kennedy (lead vocals, guitar, and formerly of The Mayfield Four). Alter Bridge released their debut album One Day Remains in 2004, with the first single Open Your Eyes.

Alter Bridge prefers to think of themselves not as “Creed with a new singer”, but as an entirely new band. The name “Alter Bridge” comes from a bridge in Mark’s childhood.

Their studio album Blackbird, was released on October 9, 2007, with the single Rise Today.

Alter Bridge resurrected the music-making portion of Creed. After that band’s dissolution in 2004, guitarist Mark Tremonti and drummer Scott Phillips tapped ousted bassist Brian Marshall for the new project. Ex-Mayfield Four frontman Myles Kennedy was soon on board as well. Alter Bridge made its Wind-Up debut in August 2004 with One Day Remains. Written largely by Tremonti, the record tried to lean more toward a hard rock/metal sound than the post-grunge grandstanding of his previous group.

Alter Bridge finished their third album in the early part of 2010. The release of AB III was on the 8th of October in Germany and Australia, the 9th of November in the US and the 11th of October in Europe. This album has a much darker feel, lyrics wise, and a more dynamic and progressive sound than the previous two.
