You know, you may be on to something. Isn't that one of the main themes when it comes to Alter Bridge?

This may be the first album since ODR that we don't have a sneak peek to a single song (that we know of).

Hope they haven't gone with 'Ritual'. Don't like it.

I can't really see that encapsulating the album like One Day Remains and Blackbird did, so I doubt it'll be that. Unless it's some concept album about how they became satanists.
For all of the hope that it brings...

Here's to hoping Mark's "soon" is not DC3's "soon" :cheers

Better chance we hear the first single before we hear anything from DC3

Hopefully it won't be long until more announcements. Does anyone know if the album is being mixed yet and who's doing it? They haven't said anything about that yet.

I doubt they'd do two concept albums in a row but you never know.

I wonder what sort of themes will be on the new record. Hopefully it's not all doom and gloom.

I think with the recent success of both Mark and Myles, combined with the term "high-energy," we're going to see some positivity on this album. Probably lyrics around the lines of working hard to achieve your dreams, not letting go of goals that you've set for yourself, the thrill of accomplishment, camaraderie, finding your own sense of self-worth, stuff like that. "High-energy" wasn't used when people were describing ABIII but I do remember hearing "dark" a lot, which makes sense now that we've all heard that album. When I think of "high-energy" I think One Day Remains, Metalingus, Rise Today, We Don't Care At All, Coeur D'Alene. Hopefully we'll have a lot of those on the album but I do want one or two darker songs to keep everything balanced and to give the record a flow and a story.

Yeah as do I. The only reason it's been mentioned really is because it's the only title we know, and that it's long. Doesn't seem likely to me at all.

Depends on Myles' mood I spose, but he's been having a pretty good last few years to put it mildly. I'd like a mix though, he's a very honest writer and does both sides of the story well.

Hopefully it will be a good mix of both. Considering Mark said it was more of a "high energy" album I think there might be a few more positive songs than darker songs. I think the song "Ritual" that Mark was talking about that's over 7 minutes long will probably be darker judging by the name (if they keep that name for it)...might sound something like WDTTW or "Show Me a Sign". When they release the album name/song names we will probably be able to make better judgments but it's still waaay too early to tell.

It might be cool if they actually came with a title that incorporates the band name in some way.

I kinda wish they would bring the actual bridge theme back. After AB III, I'd like to hear a cooler title for this one, but in the future I wouldn't mind seeing a self-titled album where the artwork expands upon the ODR bridge idea.

How do you know that one song will be called "Ritual"? I didn't find it on the net! But it sound cool! :D

I think it was seen on the whiteboard, although it could just be a working title. The only confirmed song title we have at this point is 'Monster'....
