Tremonti may have started out as a solo project for Mark Tremonti with the goal of collecting his musical ideas outside of Alter Bridge and Creed, but now Tremonti is a full-fledged band with Eric Friedman on rhythm guitar, Garrett Whitlock on drums and Wolfgang Van Halen on bass.
As Alter Bridge march toward the Oct. 8 release date for their upcoming disc ‘Fortress,’ the band has unveiled the first single ‘Addicted to Pain’ and are currently working on the video for the song with award winning director Dan Catullo.
A few months back, we learned that Alter Bridge had begun working on their fourth album. Now, guitarist Mark Tremonti is spilling some details about the record.
After recently announcing that they would be releasing their fourth album in 2013, the members of Alter Bridge have now started working on the new disc.
Mark Tremonti will kick off 2013 in much the same way he ended 2012 -- fronting his "solo" band. Tremonti has received plenty of positive feedback for his 'All I Was' album and he's announced plans to continue touring overseas in early February, followed by a handful of new North American dates in late February and early March.
Wolfgang Van Halen was definitely thrown into the fire, being called upon to play bass for Tremonti a day before the band's first show of their fall tour, but it looks like things are working out so well that his involvement will continue beyond their current trek.
