Another round of my (fruitless) quest to make people understand that a lot of what goes by the name of Heavy Metal today is what we called Rock & Roll back in the dark ages of the pre-Walkman 1970s. But then most people think that Thrash is all of Heavy Metal. (It isn't.)
Alter Bridge is made up of guitarist Mark Tremonti (Creed, Tremonti, etc.), vocalist and rhythm guitarist Myles Kennedy (vocalist for Slash's backing band), bassist Brian Marshall (Creed), and drummer and keyboardist Scott Phillips (Creed).
Mark Tremonti is a member of both Creed and Alter Bridge. He also has (or at least had) his own band, Tremonti. Myles Kennedy, as vocalist for Slash, has been on my radar for a while. I assume that I found Alter Bridge by way of one of these two, though it could have been that it was served up by one of the streaming services I use. Based on when I found this band, it was probably Spotify, because I hadn't switched to Tidal that long ago.
This song is "Scales Are Falling" by Alter Bridge from their January 2026 album Alter Bridge. It is their eighth studio album.
It is good to know about new music, especially when it is music I like. As I type this, I've heard very little of this new album. It came to my attention by way of the Tidal streaming service, and their playlist The Metalist: Best New Metal & Hard Rock.
