Hard rock giants ALTER BRIDGE are set to make their explosive return with their long-awaited, self-titled eighth studio album, Alter Bridge, due out January 9, 2026 via Napalm Records. This upcoming release marks another milestone in the band’s celebrated two-decade career and is now available for pre-order in multiple collectible formats [HERE].
As the follow-up to 2022’s Pawns & Kings, Alter Bridge features 12 brand-new tracks, including the emotionally charged “Trust In Me,” the riff-heavy “Tested And Able,” and the massive, nine-minute epic “Slave To Master”—the longest track the band has recorded to date. With dueling vocals from Myles Kennedy and Mark Tremonti, thunderous rhythm work from Brian Marshall and Scott Phillips, and production by longtime collaborator Michael “Elvis” Baskette, this new album delivers classic ALTER BRIDGE power with renewed intensity.
Recorded over two months in Spring 2025 at the legendary 5150 Studio in California and Elvis’ studio in Florida, Alter Bridge showcases the band at their most evolved, while paying homage to the signature sound fans around the world have come to love.
