Alter Bridge has commenced recording its fourth studio album for a tentative September release.
Commented the band in a post on its web site: “We are pleased to announce that recording has begun on our fourth studio album. First up to record is Scott ‘Flip’ Phillips on the drums.
“Stay tuned and we’ll update you on the progress as time allows.”
Alter Bridge returns to Europe this fall for the first time since 2011. Dates & locations are listed below.
Alter Bridge will be returning to Europe for a sixteen-date tour this October and November. The upcoming tour marks the band’s first time back in Europe since November 2011. In the interim, guitarist Mark Tremonti released his debut solo record “All I Was“, singer/guitarist Myles Kennedy returned fronting Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators, and drummer Scott Phillips teamed up with friends in Sevendust to form Projected.
Alter Bridge toured extensively in support of their last album ABIII, released in 2010. That tour was immortalized in the band’s now legendary sold-out performance at London’s Wembley Arena in November 2011 and released as the Alter Bridge: Live At Wembley DVD. Currently, the band – completed by bassist Brian Marshall – are hard at work writing/recording their new album, set for release via Roadrunner Records this September.
Frontman Myles Kennedy exclaims, “Thrilled to be returning to Europe with Halestorm later this year! I’m looking forward to reconnecting with the part of the world that embraced Alter Bridge from the start.”
