Alter Bridge Announce New Album Title + Release Date

May 5, 2022 — Leave a comment

Despite what guitarist Mark Tremonti said in a not-so-long-ago interview, Alter Bridge’s much anticipated seventh album – entitled Pawns & Kings – will not be out in September. The official release date is October 14th.

I’m willing to wait, because I love them and I’m sure the record will be amazing, but… Can we at least get a single soon? Haha. Throw us a bone, guys!!! 😆 I guess we’ll just have to be satisfied with Mark Tremonti’s album of Sinatra covers (out May 27th, in case you didn’t know).

Here’s a new promo photo, though.
