Fortress - CD

Alter Bridge: Fortress version on CD in Standard edition. This particular edition was published in Europe in publishing company Roadrunner Records on 19. January 2016.

Passion. Emotions. Melody. Aggression. These are the hallmarks of Alter Bridge, one of the most famous and beloved hard rock bands in the world. Formed in 2004 in Orlando, Florida, by guitarist Mark Tremonti, bassist Brian Marshall, drummer Scott Phillips, and singer/guitarist Myles Kennedy, the band has risen steadily to the top of the rock world thanks to their exceptional songwriting talent, musicianship, and unwavering shared belief in the power of music. The band's first three albums - 2010's "One Day Remains," "Blackbird" and "ABIII" - helped Alter Bridge amass a large international fan base that will be tearing up to hear the new Fortress album for the first time. A bold, ambitious and bravura collection of freshly minted anthems that hone and redefine their creators' trademarks while raising the bar a little higher in terms of cutting-edge sonic values that will melt your speakers. Continuing the band's tradition of writing extremely accessible hard rock songs with more than enough heaviness to appeal to metal fans, Fortress is a dazzling collection of great melodies and breathtaking riffs: From the epic bombast of the pulsating "Cry Of Achilles" to the gut-wrenching semi-truck storms of instantly singable anthems like "Cry A River" and "Addicted To Pain", From the softer and uplifting refrains of "All Ends Well" and the thrashingly sweeping "The Uninvited" to the monumental explosion of riffs and solos in the closing title track, Fortress is a triumph of songwriting artistry and a celebration of four musicians intoxicated by the exciting chemistry between them. What's more, producer Michael 'Elvis' Baskette has brought the band's new material to life in the most dazzling of colours: a refreshing demonstration of what great rock'n'roll can and should sound like in 2013.

Album spans genres Hard Rock, Alternative Metal and Post-Grunge.
