In a 2015 interview, ALTER BRIDGE guitarist Mark Tremonti spoke to TeamRock Radio about what fans could expect from the band’s next album. “It could go in any direction,” he said. “I’ve got a ton of ideas in all different styles. Last time, it was just one heavy idea after another and hopefully this time we can branch out and bring something new to the table.”

Special guests include Danish rockers VOLBEAT, who released their sixth album, “Seal The Deal & Let’s Boogie”, last month. French progressive metallers GOJIRA and up-and-comers LIKE A STORM..
