Alter Bridge/Creed guitarist Mark Tremonti to release solo album this Spring

Tue, 24 Jan 2012

Mark Tremonti, guitarist for Creed and Alter Bridge, is set to release his debut solo record in 2012.  The album titled "All I Was" is being aimed for a a Spring release date.

Tremonti will be taking the lead on all vocals on the record and has worked with Eric Friedman (backing vocals, guitar and bass) and Garrett Whitlock (drums) to create the album.

The guitarist recently described his solo album as being heavier than both his bands' music, and promised even more lead guitar solos than anything Creed and Alter Bridge have had in the past.

"It's a dynamic record. It's probably heavier than either CREED or ALTER BRIDGE, but it's still melody-driven. Most of the stuff is more up-tempo and heavy-riffing though. I had to write eleven solos for this record so it took me a long time. There's lots of soloing." Tremonti tells ArtistDirect.

All I Was
Brains
So You're Afraid
You Waste Your Time

Alter Bridge announced last year they would be taking 2012 off for singer Myles Kennedy to continue recording Slash's new album, and the rest of the band would return to work and tour a new Creed album.
