I choose not to read anything into it. I don't want to get all geed up to be disappointed. I do like that it sounds more like another thematically-linked album-centric release though.joshuabeau wrote: ↑Tue Jul 05, 2022 8:50 am Also, he said “buckle up” when someone said for them to go full on prog.. I’m excited.

That's a teaser!
Liking the idea of releasing less content before the album. If that's what Tim means with that statement. I always appreciate the intent of doing things differently.

No lie, most of Fortress and some songs from The Last Hero were pretty angry.Dan Dando wrote: ↑Tue Jul 05, 2022 10:04 amAngry… again.joshuabeau wrote: ↑Tue Jul 05, 2022 8:44 am From Tim T an hour ago on the Alter Bridge Facebook group..

By the way, I just missed my 10th year anniversary. There were no cakes at this party.

Maybe the song titles/artwork are based off of chess motifs.

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)
So it seems like the first single will be the title track? If it is indeed an « epic » I would be disappointed if that was released as a single.. I’d rather they keep those for the actual album release as I won’t be able to resist listening to it if it releases in 2 weeks
Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)
I personally don't care for any singles beiing released before the album-release. Prefer not to have any. Just want that presale of the album to start at the AB-website and Napalm.

If that artwork is real, that is sick! I love the color scheme and the cloaked figures! I reminds me some of Iron Maiden's Dance Of Death album cover with Spider-Man's Mysterio in the foreground... The hype, it builds!

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)
Pretty cool artwork. Maybe the title track will be less 'epic' than Fortress and The Last Hero? Or maybe they're releasing a single version of it?
If it's the full version, and if it's an epic, kudos to them!

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)
I didn't even think about that. I assumed it was the album art.
Realizing it could be for a single kinda worries me... I'd much rather get a 4 minute arena banger as a lead single that could potentially find some radio play, instead of on the 18th receiving the potentially epic closing title track and spoil whatever tricks and secret flavors the album may have right off the bat...
Who am I kidding? Whichever tune drops on the 18th will be devoured either way! But I swear I'm only allowing myself ONE single before October!
But I'm also reminded of when Tremonti dropped A Dying Machine as a single ahead of Take You With Me. Again, "the album was a journey" and the title track was definitely a good way to introduce the concept, sounds like that's the idea AB has got for P&K? Maybe this is closer to a real concept album than even ABIII?
So many questions! 12 days...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)
I'm guessing the release is on the 19th as music comes out on Tuesdays en Fridays in the US.

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)
Bands like Avenged Sevenfold have released songs like The Stage and Nightmare as lead singles, which aren't prog songs, but to AB's standards relatively complex. Those songs did great and got a great reception, so I think it would be a great move by AB to release one of the best songs initially, no matter how "complex". If there are more commercial songs, those can always be released at a later point.
But maybe this is a One Day Remains situation, and the title track is a 3 minute upbeat song

If they slap that artwork on a shirt then I’m going to have to part with some cash.

Dan Tremonti has come a long way since The Last Hero’s big ol’ head getting pelted by arrows.
