Looks like Sin After Sin is coming soon, based on a post on Reddit. Same sources correctly called the track listing, cover art, and last 2 singles so I expect this to be accurate. The band also mentioned in an email not too long ago that Sin After Sin and This Is War would be singles.

This band is done. Its just a machine now. Just business. The lyrics for P and K are atrocious. Written by a random reddit account with long TDS. Remember TLH? Go woke, go broke, and put out shit. They will play one song off that record live just to save face. This one seems similar. It is apparent...

Guess we’ll find out in a few days.

Indeed we will

PAK is definitely growing on me as a song. Also am I the only one who, during the last chorus right before it or during it hears Myles emphasize the “FOR ALL OF THE” part? But yeah are we gonna get another single soon? Can’t wait months until the album lol. Looks like we might be getting the song S...

I am definitely enjoying the song so far. Interesting choice for a single, but honestly it seems that this isn't even the "epic" of the album being that it's the 3rd longest song. Sin after Sin has been described as proggy and Fable of the Silent Son is the longest song of their career if ...

All sounds pretty similar to when they were releasing WTS to me (Myles being the one with the heavy riffs, and Elvis' being excited if I remember correctly). Only difference is that I feel like there were more indications on what it was going to sound like (synth/keyboard sounds and John Carpenter ...

They’ve never released an “epic” as a first single - been a short 4-minute banger with a predictable structure more times than not. A proggy, epic track would be a great change of pace. And a very nice way to say “we’re taking a different approach to this record.” I think Show Me a Leader was actua...

Not sure if anyone posted this, but this was uploaded 2 days ago on 6/26. New interview with Mark. I skimmed through it a bit. He talks about his Sinatra project (including more US Sinatra shows in September and one in London around 12/15), a lot about his new signature amp, songwriting, playing and...

Oh, ok. I was close! But yes they are both gonna be free soon so would anticipate some stuff dropping the next few weeks.

My guess is next week or the week after. If I am not mistaken, Myles and Mark both just completed or will complete some European solo tours this weekend. So maybe they will start lining up some interviews and doing press tours over the next few weeks, the mixing and mastering is probably about done,...

If Tim Tournier still reads this thread, any chance we can get a little update or even just a nugget of info about a song or two? Appreciate all you do Tim. I think the Walk The Sky announcement happened around mid June time so hopefully over the next few weeks we get the track list, album artwork ...

Dark, heavy and complex, Mark says? Let's! Fucking! Go! This makes me think we could be in store for a decent blend of ABIII and Last Hero vibes... Dark and complicated with the one bright spot of hopefulness buried amidst the brooding? I'm sold already! Sign me up for that! Also sounds like we mig...

So ladies and gentleman, question....

Should we change the name of the thread to "Pawns and Kings" instead of Alter Bridge VII now that Mark confirmed the album title?

Pawns & Kings would be a great album title imo. Even though the name implies that the lyrics would be quite... political? Or - chess concept album. Is this how we found out the Walk the Sky title as well? Rings a bell. Possibly. The last couple of albums had headlining tours named after the alb...

They change guitars nearly every 2-3 songs in concert. That's because they use different tunings. Plus as well-noted on “Wouldn’t You Rather,” Elvis pushed Myles to make it better, so Elvis is a motivator. It was rather Elvis who pushed for something like 'Wouldn't you Rather' at all because the so...

Thought this thread deserved a bump. Their last 2 albums were a bit of a return to form for me after Vengeance Falls and Silence In The Snow. The Sin and the Sentence and What the Dead Men Say are both solid albums. They released a new song called "In The Court of the Dragon" last month an...

His live vocals have dramatically improved compared to the A Dying Machine tour. As Shea pointed out the forced rasp was completely absent from this performance and, with respect to vocal health and longevity, that is a very good thing. I completely agree, and I think he sounds very good in this vi...
